Paying it forward

I received an "Inspirational Blog" award recently from my fave kittehs. (love the orange kitteh and the black kitteh!) This award was my favorite because it is nice to think something I wrote inspired someone in some way and there are no rules!  Give it, keep it!  Whatever!  But I could pass it along should another blogger inspire me!



Things get hectic for me this time of year.  I always try to keep things slow and easy but sometimes I feel like I'm running out of time and I haven't accomplished everything I set out to do.  Today was one of those days that I was feeling that way.  What a Scrooge!  This is a marvelous, happy, sharing time of year! 

Since I've been sick, my workouts have suffered.  I really don't like missing them!  I need them!  I need them to give my brain time to just "let loose" and roam.  If I miss my workouts, my brain "lets loose" at night and my sleep suffers!  grr!  

My love of food and all things edible is never ending!  I do love to cook!  I do love to cook for the people that are important to me and it makes me happy when they enjoy what I make.  I try to prepare healthy, low calorie and low fat food that tastes good.  That tastes good enough for the skinny a$$es in my family to NOT notice that it is in fact good for them.

I would like to pass the "Inspirational Blog" award to

Helen at Doing a 180 for reminding me that it's Christmas

Allison at Balance in Bites for reminding me that it's possible to run in the rain

TJ at Tj's Test Kitchen for reminding me that it's possible to eat well in every situation

Thank you.

Please read these blogs.  They're awesome.

And the women who write them are amazing!
