An Apology to My Stomach

I have been mistreating my stomach for quite some time- overeating (daily!), eating junk and eating too late in the day. This past week has been a great eye opener... I can eat healthy and enjoy it. I can eat healthy and not feel deprived. And there is no guilt! It's awesome! My stomach is HAPPY!

I have a few recipes to share once I sit down and type them in. I will try to get that done in the next day or two.

Happy Week 2 to everyone! And remember to listen to your stomach!

Encouraging Words from our new President- no political views

Fitting quote for today, January 20th, 2009- Inauguration Day and 2nd day of The Project...

"If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress."

Barack Obama

On the Eve of The Project

It just seemed fitting to name my blog Outside My Comfort Zone not just with the wellness challenge ahead but also blogging. I have read many blogs but never been a blogger- so we will see how it goes. The idea of "publishing" my thoughts and ideas on the web is bizarre but this could be fun, maybe liberating!
I am looking forward to getting The Project going full blast tomorrow. I have been "practicing" this past week and I already feel positive results.
I would like to say in my inaugural blog that the BTWG community has been tremendous. I can see already in this short time that this is a huge advantage. The Test Pilots, the current Recruits and,of course, Chris are amazingly positive and supportive. And I have to give a big shout out to my peeps Paul, Linda and Marsha who keep my focused. I just hope Paul does not really make me do lungs in the hallway at work.
OK- off to PLAN Monday. Good luck everybody!
