Going Vegetarian

Today has been a decisive day. I've decided to go vegetarian after the Easter Holiday to become a healthier individual. My decision to change over has been long over due, I think I was just to lazy to act on it. I'm no preparing myself for the transition; which I know will be tough, but lead to a healthier lifestyle in the future.  

Since my foot surgery I haven't been able to run, now that I'm almost done with Physical Therapy I'm ready to get back into marathon training with Justin. I know he is ready too! Although he has not gone on the quest of vegetarianism with me, he too wants to be in great shape. 

Wish us luck!!

Here are a few vegetarian facts & statistics for thought!

  • Plants yield 10 times more protein per acre than meat.A man who eats meat has a 50% greater chance of dying from a heart attack. 
  • A man who does not eat meat only has a 15% chance of dying from a heart attack.
  • Women who eat eggs 3 times or more a week have a risk 3 times higher of developing ovarian cancer than those women who consume eggs less than once a week.
  • Women who consume meat on a daily basis has 3.8 times the risk of developing breast cancer than women who eat meat less than once a week.

Rain, rain, go away....


I wish it would stop raining already. Can you believe just a few days ago it was 80 degrees in the big D?? Now its non-stop rain and cold as heck!! (Yes 40 degrees is COLD to me, maybe not to  Justin, but for me, very much so.) But, none the less the day wil be so much better when I get home to the most wonderful man in the world. He' s lucky enough to already be at home!!!!!


So for those of you like me, stuck at work, watching the rain through my window....wishing you were somewhere else..the day is ALMOST over. Happy Friday!

The rain will be the last thing on your mind when you have one of these! 
Enjoy and Cheers!

Tenatitive wedding date...


We have placed our wedding plans on hold, but just for a short time. Although we do not have a new date, we are still actively looking for sites in Mexico to continue our plans of a Destination Wedding. 

We were very lucky to visit the Riviera Maya last summer, and see an actual wedding on the beach. :) So beautiful... I can't wait!!

Whether it is this year or next, I hope those who can make it, will be there!!

I'd also like to send special "Congrats" to my dear friend Vanessa and her fiance  Alvaro on their recent engagement. I wish you two the most happiest and wonderful marriage ever!
