I had to share this article with you. My grandmother battled with Alzheimer’s disease and I am scared to death of getting it.

I know I should buy a few clothes that [...]

I had a bout with a bag of jalapeno kettle cooked potato chips last night. Potato chips have always been a downfall for me. I know not to have them in the house. It is tough when others aren’t trying to watch what they eat live with you. I ended up eating most of a bag. [...]

When I first started this plan I was eating lots of fast food. When I ate at home I filled up on lots of junk. I am not sure why I ate this way.
Mom and dad weren’t real big on vegetables. We had lots of starches and beans growing up. But we didn’t eat junk [...]
