"The key to change . . . is to let go of fear." -Rosanne Cash

Change. My life is all about change right now. I'm at a point in my personal development that I feel compelled to make drastic changes in my life. I haven't been satisfied with my life and where I was. Instead of whining or bitching about it, I am going to change it. If I don't like something about my life I want to be able to either change it or learn to accept it. One step at a time . . .

So this week I made a change. I chopped off 10 inches of my long, naturally curly hair. It was so freeing! I feel so alive. It's amazing how such a little thing can have such an effect on a person. My boyfriend is the one who gave me the idea. He brought up that it would be easier to deal with after surgery. Very good point. I love it when I chop my hair off. It always feels great, so I went for it.

I also received a cookbook in that I ordered. The cookbook was made by Hungry Girl. I am a huge fan of Hungry Girl. They have a daily email that gives healthy, but hearty recipes, healthy swaps for fast food and restaurant food, and tons of other good info. They even include weight watchers points for all their recipes. They also having a TV show on The Cooking Channel if you get that channel. The book is called

"Hungry Girl 300 Under 300: 300 Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Dishes Under 300 Calories" by Lisa Lillien. I love this book! The recipes are low calorie, low carb usually, and easy to make. The ingredients lists are simple and items you are most likely to have at home. I love their Egg Mugs. Egg Mugs are quick recipes for cooking eggs in the microwave using just one dish - a large soup mug. They are low calorie, quick, easy, and you can do anything with them.  















One last update. I received my Nook this week. I bought it on Woot.com. I love this site because you can find great daily deals. I bought a refurbished Nook 3G and Wi-Fi for $100. I love it. This will be great to alleviate boredom while I'm home for two weeks recovering from surgery. I can't wait to accessorize it and make it all pink and girly.
