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.

i need to know what could possibly be wrong with me and i can't seem to find the right blog. I'm a 16 yr old female and i need some answers. i get muscle-ache-like pain across my ribs and the same pain up and down my neck from my shoulders to my head and i'm not sure why this is. i don't think it could be angina but i looked up the symptoms and can't figure out what it could be and angina was all that came up. i get these pains about twice a week and they last about 10-30 minutes then they go away. if you can help me in any way with this, please feel free to contact me at jenb409@yahoo.com , thank you
