About Me

I am a not yet 55 year old woman married for 25+ years, 4 kids, 1 dog and 1 cat. The kids are beginning to leave home. One is launched, one is in college and 2 are still at home. As a couple we are entering the final stage of our parenting journey: the teenage years and beyond. We are starting to dream and think and plan for those years when the house is quiet and it is just us once again. Please join me as I explore what it means to grow older with adventure and grace.

Blogs Worth A Click: The Diet/Exercise Addition

As of Monday September 29th, there are 60 days before the Season of Eating that starts on Thanksgiving and goes through New Years day commences. Unless you start the season on the night of October 31, then you have 36 days to go. I was thinking for myself, now rather than my usually January vow, would be a good time to lose a little weight. Here are some of my favorite recipes sites. The exercise sites look interesting and that is all I have done so far is look at them

Gina Weight Watcher Recipes. I have mentioned Gina before but useful sites deserved to be mentioned more than once. Her recipes are weekday makeable plus Gina has already figures the WW points for you.

Diet Recipes Blog. Also weekday makeable recipes that are different. Here is one for Chow Mein Noodles Honey Nut Crunch Bars that are just 180 calories a serving.That sounds good dieting or not. 

There are more good sites out there . These two are ones I actually use. If you have a favorite please leave it in a comment below. I plan to do a commenter’s favorites update.

Just a note, there are many diets sites designed to sell products. Selling stuff is fine. Please suggest sites with original content that has some use other than to market products.

Here are two exercise sites I keep looking at and thinking.. “ You know I should….”

Fit and Fabulous at Forty …the title says it all

The Hundred Pushup Challenge Even the guys might want to check this site out.

Again of you have a favorite exercise blog, do tell in a comment below.

There is an excellent, free, interactive online bible study that deals with the issues of the heart and our desire to overeat available at The Lord’s Table. The intro sounds intimidating. The study itself is supportive.

Finally all that dieting and exercise deserves a reward: Dangerous Chocolate Cake in a Mug from Down Home Kitchen

What a nice surprise! Thank you for mentioning my blog : )
Being a food blogger, I admire recipe sites with beautiful photography which is such an art. Here is one of my favorites: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/apple-zucchini-crostini-recipe.html
I also love the simplicity of the site.

Hey Carol!

Saw your card on my EC Dashboard and thought I'd pop in.

Although I SHOULD be using those diet recipes now, I'm not mentally geared up yet so I'll have to start THINKING about it first! :)

I am familiar, however, with the Chocolate Cake in a Mug via my friend Judy at www.MoreThanSewSo.com.

And, yes, it is dangerous!

Oh boy! Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I have to get back into my daily good eating habits! I enjoy Gina's blog as well.

I like your blog. I plan to drop by often.

Have a great week.
