I haven't been online much lately. I reached my goal of 135 in August 2010 and I have not weighed less than 130 or more than 138 since. I would post my before and after, however, after this website changed format I have never figured out how!

I am so happy with my lapband, it really changed my life. I learned a lot about eating and nutrition and now I have started a blog and facebook page that are about healthy, single ingredient eating. I am posting about my canning, sausage making, rotisserie, cooking, etc. I think it is important to get back to eating like our grandparents did, join me as we learn how.

Please come and see me at The (New) Good Ole Days or on Facebook (And see a before and after picture of me!)

I added a recipe for pork stock on my blog, for those who don't can, you can always freeze it instead of canning it.

I will post a recipe on Monday for Italian Sausage Soup that I make from the pork stock and italian sausage.

Here is a recipe for Green Chile, from my blog. Green Chile
