Weight Loss Challenge

Last night I stumbled upon a great web site for healthy eating, that combines Mediterranean and Asian cooking (Japan, Thailand, and China among others). I have already printed a number of recipes to try, because I am convinced that I can love my food and still lose weight. As you know from reading my blog, I am a big fan of the Mediterranean diet for its role in improving health while not tasting like "diet food." BLECK!!

Which brings me to my latest challenge...I signed up for a weight loss competition at the hospital where I work for the hospitalist team (more on that later). I am part of a Huge team (25 people) made up mostly of nurses in the Intensive Care Unit, where I still spend some time working as an RN. This interhospital competition is going to reward the team who loses the greatest percentage of weight over the next 5 weeks. I can't let the team down, and I am headed to Florida at the end of April, so I'd like to have taken off a few pounds.

I thought that I would add a little dieters angst to my blog, so you can all cheer me on! Please visit often and encourage me to write, not snack, at night.
