This Mother's Day I spent time with my daughter Nicole. We went shopping this weekend and had lunch together. Later this evening while talking to a girlfriend I started thinking about my Mother. She passed away Sept. 14, 1996 so it has been a long time since I have had a mother-daughter talk.
One thing I need to make clear here... I was raised by Super Woman. To say my Mom was multi-talented is an under statement. Here is a short list of some of her many talents.

I have done a great many things already in this life. The most important being a mom to two awesome children that have become wonderful well-rounded adults.
What I want to be is a friend people can call on, someone to lean on, a shoulder to cry on. A coach as well as cheerleader for those that need it. A leader that my Mom would be proud of, she did teach me. I want to make a difference in this world....one person at a time. I want to inspire people that need help believing and I want my Mother to know that not only do I Love and Miss My Best Friend....I want to Thank her for bringing me up the way she did. I could not be who I am today if it weren't for you.
I Love You Mom. Happy Mothers Day!

I continued being very careful what I eat. I consider food as medicince now and know what I need everyday without counting calories.It is always a half cup cooked oatmeal with fruit and flax seed in the morning. Dinner is at noon and our main meal. It consists of either fish or a boiled egg and rarely goat meat for protein. A variety of vegetables and now fresh salad every day and skim milk. Somtimes I have an apple or pears I canned for dessert. That is all the meals I eat. When hungry later I nibble on a mixture of nuts and dried fruit or eat a bowl of beans.I eat meals on a small 7" plate and if in a bowl I have 1/2 servings in a fruit nappie dish. I also eat a 1 " square of dark chocolate and a glass of tomato everyday. If I want a snack it is air-popped plain popcorn. With this type of meals and extreme exercising I was losing about 3-5 lbs. a week. The month without exercise I lost nothing but neither did I gain.
