After a month of weight gain and the hike to the summit of Mt LeConte that I've committed to for my birthday in a month, I've decided to get serious about my diet. I have to admit, I do have a lot on my plate right now (figuratively) with trying to get the house back in order and my new studio/office space created so I can get back to work BEFORE the end of this month. I don't know if I can do it to be honest but I'm still trying even though I keep getting distracted. If it's not my own wandering mind and attention slowing me down, it's commitments to friends. I've promised to drive my friend, Jane, and bedroom furniture (that I inherited from my late, best friend Candis which I'm giving to Jane because she's divorced and moving in with her kids) down to Georgia this week. Next week, I have an appointment with my therapist Tamala (and hopefully great progress toward my goals to report) and my friend, David, is visiting from Nebraska and I'm meeting him at, our art teacher from college, Anne Power's home for lunch. I'm sure all of these things will be enjoyable but right now, all I can think about is getting my act together and being back at work by October 20! Working all of this around my three workouts a week with my trainer, Josh and finding time to run to the grocery store to buy all of the healthy food I should be eating is a daunting task. Still, I know I will feel better if I'm eating right and I'll be better prepared to tackle the tasks and prep to meet my two goals, getting back to work and hiking Mt LeConte. So, I'm looking into healthy meal prep blogs, web pages and books to help keep my diet on track and keep me away from the ever convenient and fast, pizza.

I've ordered several books this morning and found a couple of related blogs that all look like they have great ideas and recipes for streamlining my life.
