About

Hello!

My name is Susan and I’m a 28 (as of today) year old attorney, business owner, wife, mom to a wonderful puppy (Dobie mix), baker, and all around hot mess!  😛

I love food – I love to cook it, and then inevitably eat it.

With that said, I have struggled with my weight all my life – and still do.  Prior to about a year ago, I was eating all the wrong things – hot dogs, fries, burgers, tacos – all brown and brown-ish things.  Recently, I steered away from the processed, the filler, and the fried and added some COLOR to my diet – – red (apples, peppers, cherries, tomatoes, pomegranates) green (peppers, cucumbers, KALE!, spinach, celery), orange (butternut squash, peppers – I love me some peppers!), purple (eggplant…I’m sure you get the gist by now)!

I also started to read healthy living blogs.   I read so many inspirational stories of people changing their life one day, one meal, one run at a time – and, needless to say – I was hooked!

I really started to examine the things I was eating and have switched to eating more whole foods.  Nowadays, it is very unlikely that you will find me picking up a 100-calorie cereal bar when I can have an apple and almonds instead.

Am I always picking the right things?  Hell to the NO! I am human (hear me roar!) and I make mistakes.  Instead of focusing on my mistakes – I learn and look forward.

I started this blog in an effort to chronicle my day, my food, my thoughts, my exercising and to share the same with you!

🙂
