I have spent the past two days trying to wrap my mind around what it is am doing here... WHAT do I want my blog to convey? WHOM do I want my target audience to be? Is there a particular STYLE of writing that I want to stick to? As far as RECIPES is there a certain "diet" or "life style" I want to promote? And finally... what in the world would my first REAL post be about?
I will give you a little insight into my STORY. I have always struggled with my weight. I have done Points Systems, counted calories, low-fat, low-carb, juice, pills, miracle two week diets! None of them have ever offered any real long term success. It has only been in the last year that I have really began to listen to what my body is telling me. I watch how my body reacts to the foods I eat. I am still learning everyday how to tailor my diet, which foods I can eat safely and which foods I should avoid like the plague. I truly believe that we all have our own individual nutritional needs. What is right for me, may or may not work for you. I am in no way done on my journey... but I am making progress. It is for that reason that I am not promoting any particular diet in my blog. The recipes I post will be recipes that work for me. Tailor them to your specific needs. Listen to what your body tells you!!!
Today I learned that lesson the hard way... I will undoubtedly succumb to this lesson time and time again, but I now know for sure what the ultimate result will be... What am I talking about? GLUTEN! Gluten and I are NOT friends... Its so sad. Who doesn't love pasta?cake? cookies? cereal? the list goes on and on... Unfortunately, when I listen to my body it screams, NOOOOOOOOO!!!! Today at work we were treated to a company lunch. The group consensus was, pasta and bread sticks! How incredibly delicious!!! That sentiment turned into, "how incredibly painful"!!!! Within 30 mins I had a massive headache, unbearable ringing in my ears and stomach cramps. I knew better... I didn't listen to my body. I have tested negative for a gluten "allergy" but I know without a shadow of a doubt I am gluten intolerant. Every time I consume gluten and endure my lovely side effects, I plan out in my mind how I am going to start out fresh... How I plan to avoid those situations.... It was mid-migraine that I thought to myself, "the beginning" I will start at the beginning... Breakfast. Tomorrow I will eat a nourishing gluten free breakfast and start over... back on track. Where else better to start? THE BEGINNING...
everyday starts with Breakfast... Tonight I made these delicious little egg muffin cups. They are super simple, quick, versatile and you can make a huge batch to have for quick breakfasts or snacks all week. They will also freeze well for up to a month.

Each dream must root itself in ambition...
I am a firm believer that in order for your dreams to come true you must persue them. Have the amibiton and make the move... I have dreamt of creating this blog for over a year now. Always finding excuse after excuse as to why I shouldnt or couldnt. Excuses are over now... Do I have the hens I have been so desiring? No... but maybe, just maybe that will fall into place aswell. I believe in the laws of attracion and that if you begin to live the life you dream, your dreams suddenly become your reality. Example: Tonight... I have become a blogger...
"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now."
