I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    The Low-Down

    So...

    Now that I'm weaning off the BBRAG diet and my tummy is more or less ok (fingers crossed)  I am heading back ot the world of low-carb/high protein. It worked very well for me last year so I'm going to run with what works. Perfect timing, this being cookie season and all that... maybe as a Christmastime alternative, I'll come up with a recipe for some kind of delectible meatcake or no-dough-donut... or, uh, maybe not.

    the good no-sugar-added chocolate on the market makes it do-able.

    Good for you, Brandy. I get odd looks when I pass by all that starch and sugar, especially this time of year and especially here in bread-filled Germany. But it's worth it.

    You are a champion among no others - starting a high protein low-carb diet 2 weeks before Christmas!
