Healthy Holidays with Chrisetta
We all have our favorite, traditional dishes that we just can’t wait to enjoy during the holidays. But I say let’s put a twist on the classics or add something all together new. Saturday, I showed a crowd how to whip up: Wild Rice Apple Cranberry Salad, Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Sage Butter, and a Festive […]
Thankful
Today, I’m thankful to God for giving me the strength, courage, and belief in myself to battle obesity. Battling obesity has been one of the hardest things I’ve done in my life. And, while I’ve yet to beat obesity entirely I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve made. Today, I’m healthier and happier. I know […]
The Gym: I don’t like it
I’ve done it again. Fallen off the workout wagon… It’s been three weeks since I’ve taken my scheduled cycling class and two weeks since I’ve had pool time with Christie. What on earth is wrong with me? Why do I do this to myself? The short answer, I just don’t really like working out. So […]

It’s hard
I promise you. You don’t want any part of this. Being fat and out of shape that is. If you haven’t already — then don’t. Don’t come any where near this. Being fat is hard, really hard. Being fat and trying to lose the weight even harder. Being fat, out of shape, trying to lose […]
Stereotyped – Deficiency
I love working for myself and the advantages certainly outweigh the disadvantages, but one of the cons is not having health insurance. So, for months I’ve been suffering from a condition that became unbearable. The corners of my mouth were cracked and bleeding and my tongue! My tongue had a indescribable, painful burning sensation and […]
