Foods that are a good source of iron include:

beans a lentils
greens (mustard greens, spinach, etc.)
tofu
vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, swiss chard, etc.
nuts
egg yolks
dried fruits including raisins, dates, prunes, apricots

Apparent about 18 mg of iron is recommended per day.
Currently with my multivitamin, I get 18 mg of iron as recommended?
Hmmmmm...

I think my next goal is to start what the fitness magazines call 'clean eating'.
So non-processed foods, lots of fruits and veggies and fresh foods.
Shouldn't be too hard minus the fact that I really like cheese whiz...

All through high school, I've relied on the attention of boys to make me feel pretty and happy.
I realize now that I really need to focus on happiness stemming from within.
It doesn't matter if a boy likes you if you don't like yourself.
Confidence stems from happiness for me, and I need to find ways to find that happiness.

This is terrifying.

Too much of my life is controlled by how I look.
How much I weigh or how I look bloated.
I need to find confidence.
It's an improvement from the school year.
And definitely from 2 years ago.
Why do I feel so self-conscious all the time?
What happened to self-esteem and self-worth?
It's time I found it in myself and start living my life as it's meant to be lived.

Send me your email at sarah_nhan@yahoo.com so that I can add you to the safe list for my blog. I am going to put security on it in about a week!

This is absolutely the most disturbing thing I have ever read.
How did this happen?

Glendon is home of the Giant Pyrogy!

Fearing death is fearing life.
If you fear death, how much can you really live?
How many risks can you take?
And if you don't live, then what do you give up when you die?

I find it hard to imagine just getting the heck out of here and starting over.
Working at some diner and barely getting by, but avoiding society and what it has become.
If I could get the guts to move away, I would be gone in a second.
Life has become a pot of greed, desperating, selfishness, and guilt.
What ever happened to being happy with what you have?
Having a crazy night with no regrets?
And just being a person living life to the fullest?
Everything is about money and control now.
Everyone always says life is short, so why are we wasting it on things like building giant empires when the things that matter are the legacies we leave behind with people. The stories of kindness and warmth that touch people in a way that the coldness of a multi-billionaire company could never.
Sometimes I wonder if I was born in the wrong generation.

Cold Lake may possibly have been one of the most ridiculous nights ever.

Cutest kid ever.

Cold Lake this weekend! So excited!

Deer Tick- Baltimore Blues No. 1

Absolutely gorgeous song. They are playing at the Edmonton Folk Fest but tickets sold out within the first day. I'm on the lookout for ticks!

Dear world,
Why the heck do we need marshmallows that are the size of my fist?

Dear Hangover 2,
Thank you for putting Bradley Cooper in a white shirt and mostly shirtless for the movie.
I greatly enjoyed it.

Sometimes I wish I had been that perfect girl.
Skinny, beautiful, bubbly, and center of attention.
But when I realize how much I've learned from not being that girl, I realize how lucky I am.
Because life isn't fair. Everything good doesn't always come your way.
And I can accept that, and I know how to make the best of what I'm given.

Happiness comes from within.
You just have to find it inside and let it roam free.
