A beautfiul March day!

Well, I created this blog in January with hopes of updating it often. Ha - it's nearly two months later and I am just now making my first post!


It's a beautiful day! 65 and sunny! We're taking the boys for a vet appointment this afternoon. We're kind of concerned about Dale. He has ballooned to 22 pounds. While he is adorable being so big, I'm concerned that he might have thyroid problems or "the sugar." Hopefully the vet will provide some insight for us!


We've been actively trying to clean up our diets a bit. I have been perusing blogs regarding artificial sweeteners - high fructose corn syrup, sucarlose, aspartame, etc. I am finding now that I have cut them out of my diet, anytime I do have them - I feel it! Apparently there was an article written on how some HFCS contains mercury: http://blog.happygreenbaby.com/2009/02/26/mercury-found-in-high-fructose-corn-syrup/


Scary stuff. We tried to watch "The Future of Food" last weekend, but it is a very dry movie, so we'll have to watch it when we're both awake!


I'm always on the lookout for new foods and good food bargains for my Weight Watchers members. I stumbled across a blog today that is pretty awesome - the writer of the blog follows Weight Watchers and tries to avoid anything artificial as well! Check it out: www.yummydietfood.com


Until next time,
Heidi
