Although I won’t be spending the day with family, I am determined to relax and enjoy my Easter. I considered going to a restaurant to eat a nice Easter brunch, but I realized that I enjoy cooking some things and would like to spend the time in the kitchen. I boiled a half dozen eggs and will color them bright blue and green and then paint them with markers just for fun. I guess I can eat a hard boiled egg each day this week and not crash my cholesterol numbers too badly. What is Easter without Easter eggs?

There was an ad in a women’s magazine that says if you eat Special K for breakfast every day for 2 weeks that you will lose weight. I’m not sure why that is the magic answer to losing weight but I am willing to give it a try. I like the Special K with strawberries and knowing what I’m going to eat for breakfast makes the morning easier to deal with. I’d like to drop 10 pounds – who wouldn’t?
