Greetings everyone! I am really on a strong salad kick. We've been very diligent about stocking the fridge with a variety of salad fixings - mixed cheese, bacon bits, hard boiled eggs, little tomatoes, cucumbers, and lots of different dressings. That way every day I make a salad up that literally makes my mouth water - and tastes completely different from the previous day's!

I am always looking for new salad dressing ideas, to jazz things up. Please reply to this message and let me know what your favorite is, so I can add it to my list! Here's one of my latest:

Squeezable Ken's Steak House Ranch
Squeezable Ken's Steak House Ranch is a great dressing and dip for healthy eating of salads, carrot and celery sticks. It has only 2g of carbs per serving and no trans fats.

I'm also trying to focus on becoming more active, doing things I enjoy. I used to play Dance Dance Revolution a fair amount - but with my nose surgery I stopped (go figure :) ). Now that I'm healed, I really should start again - but it's always hard to start up a new pattern in life! I just have to DO it. What activities do you enjoy? Are you doing them as much as you'd like, or do you need a little prod to action too? Come by the forums and let us know!

I hope to hear from you sometime soon, either in the forum or in response to this email message. I thrive on your feedback!

Have fun passing this message along to family and friends, because we all love free knowledge!
