March 8 – International Women’s Day

Today is an International Women’s Day. It is an occasion marked by women’s groups around the world. This date is also commemorated at the United Nations and is designated in many countries as a national holiday.

This is a very special day for women who are treated with dignity, love and appreciation, but hardly carries the same value for numerous women, mostly in underdeveloped counties, who struggle to survive.

Construction – Phase Three – The Fat Smash Diet

Super job!!!!

We are about to complete the Construction Phase of The Fat Smash Diet.

We have been doing so well with all the fruits and vegetables, and controlled food portions, so in this phase it is time for some rewards. Enjoy some of the SWEETS we have been avoiding.

The Great Lent – Vegetarian Meals

If you are like me, and are used to having meat at least once or twice per day, preparing meatless meals a couple of times per week might create a challenge.

I have been posting some of my meatless recipes during this past year, so if you are searching for ideas, here are the links to these posts:

Mornings could be a very hectic time in any household, especially if everyone is on a very tight schedule, and in a hurry to get done as fast as possible, and to move on.

It is even worse if you are not a morning person, and you have to drag yourself out of bed, even after the alarm goes off, and the snooze button is hit few more times (this is not a good idea).

Here are some of my suggestions to make the best of your busy morning, but it requires good planning the night before:
