Happy Meal

barriers have prevented you from doing so and give specific examples of how you can still work to overcome those barriers. I am happy that I reached my goal, even with a couple of bumps in the road.

I wish I had put more thought into this goal, planned out meals and learned how best to continue this goal outside of the two weeks. But that will be my new goal, learning how eating healthy…

Famgiving Having been at college for a month now, only eating what Decary has to offer and pizza, all I can think about is a home cooked meal. My all-time favorite home cooked meal is Thanksgiving dinner. My family is different to say the least when it comes to Thanksgiving. For instance, we don’t have one day of Thanksgiving, we have TWO. Yes, two whole days of seeing family and friends, cooking for hours on end and then finally eating as much as our stomachs can hold. It may be because I’m…

The essence of tap dancing comes from the tempo. Tap dancers have to “listen to the rhythm” to execute their paces. Tap dancing seemed to be particularly developed in America and especially on the East coast. This movie shows that this type of dance is unisex and that dancing is not only “for girls”. On the contrary, the only main character seen in the movie that is a female tap dancer is Amy; the other characters are a majority of males. When the characters are talking about tap they mention it…

ounce grains and proteins, and one teaspoon oil on a daily basis. Looking at this compared to the food listed in my appendix, I could stand to consume more dairy, protein, and fruits, and fewer oils. I can do this by switching water for milk at a meal, putting meat on my salads, and grabbing an apple on my way out the door. Although I am consuming fewer calories than recommended I can still cut out fats by using…

after we returned from our honeymoon, my wife prepared one of the delicacies of her people for us as lunch and she thought she had prepared a sumptuous meal for her husband. However, when she served me, she observed that I was not excited so she asked whether it was not nice.

Before we married, there is a…
