Well this last weekend was totally NUTS ! Off to the Sammy Hagar Concert and Scorpions ! What a blast from the PAST ! We took off Friday around Noon, which took 3 hours each way ! So we had to drive back after the concert because the next morning I had to pick our son up from his friends and drive to my moms because we were off to a Beer Fest, Yes a BEER fest in Monterey, CA. We ended up arriving home about 3:30 am Friday night and had to be up at 7 am ! Yikes ! I am too old for this ! Well of course we pull up and there sits a box on the front porch. It’s dark, well of course it’s dark it’s 3:30 AM ! So we pull up and its my order from my next order of Bistro MD. I figure I wanted to try 3 food delivery places and Bistro Md Was 2nd on my list So here’s the food ! Great ! Well I am all excited to check it all out and I finally get it put in the freezer, etc by 4:30 am and all I know is that 7 am is coming fast ! Headed with my son to my mom’s, visited for a bit and off we went to the Monterey Brew Festival ! It was fun but boy was it crowded ! Then it was back to our room at the spin drift inn on cannery row and out for an ” early ” night. Well that early night ended up being until 2 am ! Holy Cow ! I am getting to old for that stuff ! I did dance alot so hopefully wore off some calories there ! So we got home late Sunday afternoon, did some things around here on the farm, including taking care of all our new chickens and ducks ! Holy COW they are HUGE !! I’ll get a picture over the next few days and post it so everyone can see it !

So Monday comes, Son is at school, we run our errands and lo and behold another BOX on the front porch, this time a BIG box. Of course my husband who weighs, oh 100 lbs WET says ” what on earth is that ” . I said Oh, I think that’s my diet food. He freaks out and says ” You have got to be kidding me, AGAIN ? ” So I told him that Nutri System had a great deal and I was trying 3 so that was my 3rd ! So I am switching back and forth for one week, trying Bistro MD and Nutri System. Either way Cancun is coming with or without me so I need to get my butt in gear !

Also starting today, I will be posting my menu for the day, my workout and weight, but weight will be weekly as I am going to give up the daily weighing !

I am also going to do reviews on all of the 3 diet Meal delivery places I have tried, which have been Diet-To-Go, Bistro MD, and Nutri System. I will give my pro’s and con’s on each and let you know what I think ! I even have lots of pictures to show of the food

So that’s the update ! Hope everyone has a great week !

Keep on keeping on and Never Give up and Never Give In !

I will add the Nutri System Coupons as well as the Bistro MD coupons if you want to check out their websites !



I am totally excited and ready for the next step of my journey ! Are you with me ??

Ok as promised, finally, after fixing a few glitches on my blog here are the great pictures of the diet - to - go food packages I get each week like clock work ! First of all, the BEST food ! Wow ! Just awesome ! At first I did the Low Fat package they have available, then in the last week I have switched to the Low Carb Plan ! Just to die for ! Wow ! Who thought I could have all my meals prepared and taste this good and lose weight ! I was off of it for 2 weeks and well, just ate whatever and didn’t do so well ! What else is new ! Well now its hammer down time.. I leave in about 8 weeks for Cancun and I want to drop these last 20 lbs ! Can I do it ? I sure hope so !

Here is what the food looks like when it arrives in your reusable Styrofoam container.. Its all frozen when it arrives and I sort out the first 3 days in the fridge ( everything is marked on the back of the container ) and the other’s go in the freezer and I pull them out as I finish one day those come out to be rotated to the pile.. so far so good.. I was on it for 4 weeks and lost about 11 lbs ! And like I said the food is awesome ! They are having a awesome deal right now where you can get 20.00 off your first order. This is not like the old days with those freeze dried meals from Jenny Craig , this is all freshly prepared ! And if you live in one of the pick up area’s they serve, you can save on shipping ! Here is some photos of my order arrival. You can find diet to go here by clicking this link. This will enable you to save 20.00 on your first order ! Trust me you will love it ! If you don’t like the meals, easy enough, you just contact diet to go and they credit you for anything you don’t like ! It’s awesome ! Trust me after losing over 130 lbs on my own, this is just a breeze ! I’ve had some questions as to what to do if you have family. I actually fix them dinner as well, but I take say a lasagna and put portions on a paper plate, and freeze them so I can have meals for them as well and not have to spend all day in the kitchen.. Works out great ! And I’m saving a ton of money not going to the store, you know where you buy those 10 for 10 sales and end up leaving with 4.00 boxes of this and 5.00 bottles of that ! So check them out ! I’ll be glad to answer any questions I can ! Just drop me a line ! What have you got to lose ? Just the weight ! Like I said on the start of this blog, I don’t like to list anything I haven’t tried ! This program just rocks !

Wow, I cant believe our vacation is almost over ! Funny how you can prepare, plan and get ready for a vacation that seems to zoom by ! The 5.00 a gallon gas here wasn’t a factor for us to travel to Oregon when we left, but Holy cow, figuring out we spent over 300.00 just in gas ! I can see why people are sticking so close to home ! I am missing of course my little Rat Terrier, but more so I am missing my food from Diet-to-go ! I am feeling sad because I would stay here in Oregon forever if I had my way , but I need to head back home ! I am excited to get home though as my diet to go food will arrive Tuesday and I can get back on track of shedding these last 15-20 lbs that seem to want to just hang on to me like a bug on a car grill LOL ! I am anxious to see how I did on vacation. I just threw caution to the wind and enjoyed myself, and honestly, after being on the diet to go program my cravings have just totally gone away and that helped this week ! I lost my weight by diet’s that I planned out and working out but when I found Diet to go, I thought, Hey, I’ve been at this awhile, it’s almost like I thought this would be great for the end of my journey… and so of course I ordered, well ok, the coupon code which I will include below helped as well but I have to tell you I have NEVER been so impressed ! The food is awesome ! I have inlcued some photos of my first delivery and I started out on the 7 day, 3 meals a day plan and I just love it. Everything comes in this great Styrofoam conainer and is clearly marked and shipped in dry ice ! I have to say I love to cook but this is some of the best food I have ever had, honestly. Like I said when I started this blog, I am here to be honest and if I like something I will share it, if I love something expect me to shout it from the rooftops and If I’m not happy about a product, well I want to share that too ! I didn’t think that this great food would possibly let me lose weight, not only have I lost almost 8 lbs in just over 3 weeks but the food is so good, I just cant believe I am actually losing it Weight that is
The week before I left I cut down to the 5 days a week, honestly, I was not eating all the food I was being sent and with summer here the weekends get hard with BBQ’s and such with families, friends, etc.. I also went lo carb and let me tell you the meals were out of this world ! They ship on Monday’s and it arrives here in California on Tuesdays. They also have local pick up’s if you happen to live close to a place that does that which will save you on delivery charges ! Here are some pictures of my first week’s delivery and it only gets better. If you want to lose the weight, I can tell you that this is an awesome program ! Give it a try, even if for a week ! You will love it ! The great thing is you can stop the delivery whenever you want, so if you are heading on vacation, etc. At first I thought, Oh this is silly but I can tell you I am very glad I found Diets to go and love it
If you have any questions feel free to use the contact form to contact me I will try and answer you questions. I could not find much info on diet’s to go when I was making my decision but I am glad that I started the program ! Even more glad I will be arriving home Tuesday to start back up again on the plan.
Feel free to use the coupon code below by clicking on the diet to go link and tell me what you think about the food when you order ! All you have to lose is weight
Here are a few pics………..

And here is a code for 20.00 off your first order ! Summer may almost be over, but just think about NOT hiding under those big bulky winter sweaters ! I have my goal on a cute turtleneck flannel with some cute jeans ! Bring is on !

I’ve been having major skin issues over the past few years. I was always one who was told, “Wow, you have really nice skin!” Especially in high school. Now that I’m in my 30’s, my skin has seemed to take a turn for the worst. I may be possibly dealing with Rosacea or something, I don’t know. But I know I need to do something about it.

I cam across this great article written in a man’s perspective, can you believe that? The author, Paul Zayer, talks about the importance of eating raw foods, and what it does for your skin. Here’s a small excerpt:

I actually believe that everyone wants to be and feel healthy. I am also pretty sure that everybody wants to look good, and not only women.

What’s the largest organ in your body? It’s your skin! It gives, a protective covering for the other organs of the body. It adjusts to control your internal body temperature. And it’s a fine indicator of overall health and well-being.

People spend thousands of dollars on skin products to make your skin look vibrant and glowing. They’re all topical preparations - preparations that we put on top of our skin. But if we decide to spend a small percentage of the money we spend on these products on RAW FOODS, we’d begin to see an immediate change in the texture of our skin.
