Be fit by the 4th of July, starting with quiche

Wendy’s finished quiche is pictured here.
I blame these articles for my new unwanted pounds. My jeans are not fitting right. I’m bulging out in all the wrong places. I got on a scale the other day and couldn’t believe the weight. I do know why this is happening. I have been cooking and eating everything in sight. Then, I spend most of my day writing and researching on the computer. What did I expect? Then, yesterday, Claud told me his entire family will be flying here from England to spend the summer with us. I was really excited about having everyone visit. Until I thought, I could be huge by then if I don’t do something drastic. I found a calendar and decided that I will be in the shape I am comfortable with by the Fourth of July. That’s 153 days away. My plan is detailed on my blog (www.yovia.com/blogs/simplyfood). I even posted a before picture. I thought if I told everyone I was doing this, I would have to stick with it.

Snow days are the best excuse for not leaving the house. I love being a home body: sleeping in late, living in jim jams (that’s what we call pajamas), and getting around to brushing my hair at noon.

The end of the holiday season can be a bit anticlimactic.
We spend months buying gifts, writing cards, attending and planning parties.
‘Love Stew’
When Claud and I were first married and Daphne was a few months old, we saw a movie called, “My Life” with Michael Keaton.
In it, Michael Keaton’s character has three months to live.
