My body is being stubborn about shedding pounds. It likes things the way they are, so I need to step it up a notch to get things moving again.

That means eating more foods in their raw form. I have been enjoying whole wheat pasta with vegetable sauce, and I think that is too satisfying, too hearty. So, it's back to cold meals!

"Whatever it takes" is my new motto for getting healthy. Health is a serious matter; I don't want to wait until it's too late.
