HOW DO I REDUCE?

Even though I want to reduce
the number on the scales
as well as my waistline,
I need to reduce the number
of medicine bottles that are
in my cabinet.

As much as I admire my doctor,
I would like to minimize my visits to him.

Telling me that I need to eat fish
doesn't help me.
I was raised in the
Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
My parents were farmers
and
good, lean Black Angus Beef
was a staple in our diet.
But I know how to limit it -
even if I don't cut it out entirely.

Years ago,
I started cooking with olive oil
and that's a good base to start on.

*I need to increase my
fruits and vegetables to
5 per day.

*I want to add one serving
of walnuts to my daily diet.

*And my husband and I
have made a pact -
we are not going to purchase
any chips for the next two months.

And we also have decided
(on the advice of his cardiologist)
to add at least one glass of red wine
to our diet daily.

And to quote Dr. Oz,
"Getting healthy happens
one day at a time"

Blessings to all who visit here,
