We are in New River Arizona right now looking at the rain in Sunny Az, so I have some time to reflect!<div><br /></div><div>I am still McDougalling and since I had an amazon credit, I did order Dr. Fuhrmans 2 book set "Eat for Health". It arrived yesterday and is going back today!!!!!! What a ripoff. He added a few things, didn't even credit Dr. Esselstyn and Dr. Ornish with the right info, used large type, added eggs, oil, meat, and the ingredients he sells to the recipes and most of the recipes in the second book were either from his earlier book or his PAID website member contributions. Large type, one recipe to a page and no index. I think a 10 year old could have done a better job!</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway I went to the McDougalls 3 Day Chef's Weekend the end of June this past year and had a fantastic time...and yeah I gained a few lbs with the great recipes! now I have to watch it more.</div><div><br /></div><div>A few weeks ago we went to the Tempe Art Festival on Mill Ave. I haven't been in that area in over 20 years and wouldn't have recognized it. Seems strange to see a Starbucks and other chains in the area!</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:'Lucida Grande';font-size:11px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncyg46/3100521111/" title="Mill Ave. by ncyg46, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3248/3100521111_ed6d73e69f.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Mill Ave." /></a></span><br /></div><div>We are going out traveling again in January. We are going to Yuma and Mexico to get dental and glasses done, then to the RV and gemshows in Quartzste, Az, then to Las Vegas and see some relatives. I will try to post more photos but if anyone wants to see all our travels they are at:</div><div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncyg46/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncyg46/</a><br /></div><div><br /></div>Nancy Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04131860639044524618noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3746266120826231815.post-44489052253336754882008-08-02T11:09:00.000-07:002008-12-09T20:47:21.199-08:00Not doing Eat to Live anymore<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiapdNQ8C__MCLvzI-9gME4PT5YmMVbTNy3J0sawb1sgVKuGinOGvdcZIvcDtGhn5CZ964eUVcR2WEI6KKD8FcgWfk2RJ5aP60OzoVQUOI1x1KH41TD5npTHzZXu3HJTdJC3jdwsHC8m_kD/s1600-h/sedona+and+new+river+024.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229988430091787794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiapdNQ8C__MCLvzI-9gME4PT5YmMVbTNy3J0sawb1sgVKuGinOGvdcZIvcDtGhn5CZ964eUVcR2WEI6KKD8FcgWfk2RJ5aP60OzoVQUOI1x1KH41TD5npTHzZXu3HJTdJC3jdwsHC8m_kD/s320/sedona+and+new+river+024.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I have rejoined Dr. McDougalls website and feel much better and NOT as cranky! I went to the 3 day Celebrity Chef weekend in Santa Rosa and we ate for 21 hours out of 3 days!!! It was all delicious and I had the greatest time and met the nicest people. I hope to do more on this blog soon, as I have been a bit lax in posting! Ok...have taken the Dr.Fuhrman junk outta this..forget it, it is a cult!!!! I may have lost the right amount of weight but was miserable and tired of the nastygrams from the ultimate cult man so I discontinued his PAID member site. Dr McDougall has been around since 1983 and he is the best with a free member site and lots of supportive people...plus a free newsletter and great recipes. I have found most of his previous books on Amazon, Half.com, used bookstore and thrift shops. I figure those people are not around anymore or went back tot he SAD diet. I am to the point that I can't stand to look at or clean up after greasy animal food...yuck...Now I am not a vegetarian or vegan. If a lobster or shrimp or plate of steamer clams happened in front of me I will certainly welcome it...and take a break for a week! I have given up meat, poultry, pork, eggs, dairy, coffee, all oils except a dab of toasted sesame oil, and smoking. Beer is on my list of to do's.....but seafood is still calling me!!!!!! We are in Arizona for the summer and enjoying the heat????? but the shopping is amazing!<br /></div><div></div><br /><div>I need to review my posting of photos but they are all at</div><div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncyg46/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/ncyg46/</a></div><br /><div>if you would like to see where we have been for the past 4 years!!</div>Nancy Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04131860639044524618noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3746266120826231815.post-32029026284651557642008-01-29T07:22:00.000-08:002008-12-09T20:47:21.612-08:00In Quartzsite for the RV Show<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9BDRQCSWCK6beQDlpG9bI_7ciRyzEBcjNlZ64x88nEJ05BEBPItYquj3DlIjodSOSNKKiKtW8pZUav0MNV3-wE_ujUyBvQz3WsmlHjuO28frLNX7EgSgeuZw97BSpVIhH6smae8xODxu9/s1600-h/11-28-2007+quartzsite+012.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9BDRQCSWCK6beQDlpG9bI_7ciRyzEBcjNlZ64x88nEJ05BEBPItYquj3DlIjodSOSNKKiKtW8pZUav0MNV3-wE_ujUyBvQz3WsmlHjuO28frLNX7EgSgeuZw97BSpVIhH6smae8xODxu9/s320/11-28-2007+quartzsite+012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160922976658025970" border="0" /></a><br />We are here in Quartzsite with the sea of white roofs, boondocking in the middle of the desert.

I brought three dishes that I could eat and pigged out on some of the other food. I was sorry the next day! I was soooo stuffed all evening, I was uncomfortable and not used to feeling like that so I won't do it again!

Just shipped a big box of my old clothes back home! I have nothing to wear now, everything is still too big. We are in Pahrump Nevada right now for a few more days and believe me things have changed in the past two years. The buffets are horrible, no 2 for 1 coupons and we walked out of 4 of them!</div><div> </div><div>I found a chinese restaurant behind the Radio Shack that had awesome food and we will go back there.</div><div> </div><div>Next we are headed back to Las Vegas and Chinatown is on my list.

When we go back we are going to Chinatown to get food! I am doing a new blog on blogger and haven't learned it yet so bear with me....i will! I am doing a new diet and I am down to to 130 lbs. got 5 lbs to to go to be back to when I was 18. I am doing Eat2Live with Dr. Joel Furhman which is <a href="http://www.dr.fuhrman.com/">www.dr.fuhrman.com</a><br /><br />I want to take the stores here with me..there is everything you could want including Whole Foods which I which I could attach to the back of the rv and take it with me. I can only hope that regular grocery stores will adapt to healthy food...some are, some like Walmart have some things but I can't fit down the aisles!!! and get very frustrated in there....I wrote to them and they responded that they would send it to the appropriate dept which i figure is the file 13...the waste basket. shame!!!!<br />We are in Pahrump this week...I walked out of 4 buffets, not like it was two years ago, it is turning into Las Vegas. They used to have a good seafood buffet in the Terribles Town Casino....well not anymore. I walked in today and they had shrimp but they had removed all the salad bar food and there was nothing to eat except a couple of apples and oranges. We walked out! Went next to the Pahrump Nugget where we were told that we needed silver or platinum cards, we got alot of stuff for free for Ed's birthday month 2 years ago..my 61st birthday is tomorrow but walked out of there too. I finally gave up after one more and asked for a recommendation for a good chinese restaurant!!! Well the lady at the Nugget told me one place she didn't like but I don't listen to that stuff. We went there and it was the best hot and sour soup I ever tasted!! Wonderful, called the House of Fortune China Cuisine...It was great! This city is all the smokers who are fat and love buffets. Sorry, I can't eat any of it and it looks disgusting. The seafood buffet now doesn't start till 4:00 for 13.99 and I don't that much. I am just having a hard time trying to eat healthy with the travel. Be glad to get back to Vegas. Ed is taking me to Chinatown to get groceries...dried mushrooms, etc.!!! That's where the restaurants here told me they get their stuff so I will go...we ate at PF Changs in Las Vegas and that was a great place..had lettuce wraps with tofu and water chestnuts, and some hot and sour soup which is my favorite. I took home an entire head of lettuce!!! I don't eat much....This place in the back of the Radio Shack strip center is wonderful...the guy is talkitive but the food is out of this world!!!!!Nancy Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04131860639044524618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3746266120826231815.post-58912681979370510052007-10-22T09:35:00.000-07:002008-12-09T20:47:21.798-08:00A new try for me....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZHAxesHu6tOqsLX1s9_L63WxYCW5Bw8tGNJ_hhR4oB60tvVYTi_5ZnXXT6RwRwQ1zJfopCvxOhzkTOPEz695R8c9Jz2r3GrhDFbu9f9VpUKpHVqW15TJQcpIXRcJOIuRF10C89ozeLpXi/s1600-h/campersmall3.jpg"></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNzSodml0kO2vu2ywyAXvKulqNnwK0f4iSShjNJ5Wzh9POQpU2AmN0CWcc4jmP63URYL5So590jE4u0VfMcY5lYPcdq4bdO33daPLFAUkDIUH9bYM73Vw2QDbA4K3ZkQ1wkeR6IfWi1UCI/s1600-h/campersmall3.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div align="left"><span style="font-size:130%;">I have had a blog for over a year on Yahoo 360 and from rumors I have heard, I guess it is time to switch to another service!

They were accomodating about transferring all the remaining photos over but it will take awhile for me to remove duplicates from it.
