I lost a half a pound, woo hoo...okay, it's not much but I think of it as 2 sticks of butter. It's also great considering all the stress we've been under this week. All the females in the house are having wild mood swings and it's nearly unbearable! The lunatic behavior of women have even extended to our grandson's bus driver!

And now for something completely different: a lot of grown food has so much chemicals and hormones added to the fertilizer and water you're better off getting the organic varieties. And yet, here are some that -- according to Dr. Weil -- are still okay to buy:

11 Items You Don't Have to Buy Organic
The best way to reap the health benefits of fruits and vegetables without exposing yourself to potentially harmful pesticides is to choose organic produce whenever possible, especially those varieties which are more likely to be contaminated. But if organic produce is cutting into your budget, it's okay to buy non-organic varieties of the fruits and vegetables listed below, which tend to contain the least amount of pesticides. However, make it a habit to wash them thoroughly before eating or cooking, to remove dirt and bacteria.

Asparagus
Avocados
Bananas
Broccoli
Cabbage
Corn (sweet, frozen)
Kiwi
Mangos
Onions
Pineapples
Peas (sweet, frozen)

It's a relief because you know that organically grown foods are twice as expensive!
