Julie and Julia and finding myself??

Has anyone seen Julie and Julia? a great movie about a girl who has lost herself just a little and decides to cook her way through The Joy of Cooking, which is made by Julia Childs. I am in a funk and need to find myself so I am going to cook my way through The Pioneer Woman's Cookbook. The Pioneer Woman has the best blog out there and all her recipes are AWESOME! So, I figure that I will promote her by cooking her recipes. Cooking with the Pioneer Woman will begin this Sunday! Stay tuned for what recipe I cook! yummmmmmm.... How I'm going to lose this last 20 pounds..I do not know?
