Yep, it's been a while

Sometimes life just happens along the way and we have seasons where we can do it all and seasons where we just need to focus on other things. I am still losing weight and have lost over 40 pounds since living in Sicily in 2008-2009. We still try to eat as healthy as possible which sometimes means getting creative with where we shop and still stay within a reasonable food budget. Currently in our area, our local farmer's market is overflowing with seasonal fruits and vegetables. We have been consuming lots of blueberries, and peaches are just starting to come into season. We are actually going back to Italy this year to visit and for a wedding. I always wanted to go to a wedding while we were over there and did not have the opportunity. Hence I will be trying to finish losing that last stubborn 20lbs. Some things to focus on will be planning a weekly menu (and sticking to it), working in regular exercise and getting enough rest. This season has been busy and sometimes its easy to over commit without realizing it.
