A Big Wake-Up Call....

So...... Mike and I both went in for our annual physicals last week. I must admit, I'm using the term "annual" inaccurately, as we have both been guilty of NOT going annually for a physical. Boy, am I glad we finally went. Not good news. Not good AT ALL!! Nothing immediately life-threatening, but both of us had major "wake-up calls" that we need to take seriously. That means changing our lifestyles in a pretty major way. Especially when it comes to what we are eating. I've been searching all over the internet for "healthy diet tips". It is maddening. If you believe everything that you read, then you should eat NOTHING, because apparently, there is something wrong with every kind of food known to man. Even the "good" foods seem to have warnings...i.e. Salmon, which is supposedly a super-food should be only eaten if it's wild salmon and not farm-raised.

As I'm going through all this information, gearing up for cleaning out my kitchen of anything that has high-fructose corn syrup, if anyone has any tips for me out there...I'd appreciate it! I'd love to know some easy recipes.... gotta get hubby's cholesterol down and try to get my "fatty liver" skinny again... :-)

I wonder if Disneyworld is going to have low-fat hot dogs? We may have to start this diet thing AFTER our Disney trip!!
