I decided to do the shrimp stir-fry again to use up the end of the week veggies in the fridge.  I have a new favorite vegetable – red cabbage!  I had only ever had it in the mixed salad bag before, but I love that it keeps its crunchy texture while cooking.  And 3 ounces has 2 grams of fiber! I pan fried frozen shrimp...

That’s my blood sugar today!  I woke up at 69, and ate 1 ounce of puffins with 2 ounces of skim milk.  I was sore when I got up, so didn’t do my morning workout, and I hadn’t made my food yet for the day anyway, so then I had time this morning to get that together. An hour later my blood sugar was 171. ...

Dinner was SO good!  It took about 15 minutes to put this together.  First thing I did was preheat my oven to 350 and popped in 4 white corn tortillas (they took about 5 minutes, then I just turned the oven off and kept them in the oven until I was ready for them).  While those were crisping up for my tostadas, I chopped up my veggies. ...

1 tablet = 15 calories, 0 fat, 4 carbs Before I found these glucose tabs (.99 at the drug store), I had to bring a granola bar whenever I worked out.  I’d be cruising along on the elliptical machine when all of a sudden my eyes would start getting black spots, I sweat PROFUSELY (its gross, trust me!) and then in order to keep going, I’d have...

I love all types of Mexican food.  If given the choice, I think my daughter and I could have tacos, nachos, etc. every night for dinner. I kind of just went through my fridge this morning trying to figure out lunch.  I put this together at work, and pan fried in Pam for a couple minutes each side.  I lost some of the ingredients during...

Another pretty day, but it won’t last – supposed to be a rainy weekend so I’ll enjoy it today! No morning exercise since I am going to the fitness center with my daughter after dinner tonight. 1/2 cup egg beaters 2 ounce whole grain bagel 1 ounce turkey bacon 1/2 ounce sharp cheddar cheese 4 Italian plums 365 calories, 10 fat, 32 carbs, 2.6 fiber,...

It was so nice, we decided to eat outside tonight – have to take advantage of not a lot of bugs!    526 calories, 15 fat, 44 carbs, 4.6 fiber, 39 protein I cut this steak in half for a 3 oz. serving 1/2 cup broccoli 1/4 cup cheese sauce 4 ounce potato 2 tablespoons fat free sour cream glass of red wine What is missing...

That circuit was hard, but I did it in exactly 45 minutes.  Even had time to heat up my lunch before getting back to work. Thankfully, the gym was empty, so I didn’t have to be too self-conscious.  However, the jump rope thing, although in my head I thought I looked like this: It really looked like this: Lunch: 3 ounces leftover chicken breast 6.5...

Another beautiful day, but started chilly – 45 degrees!  I still love it though. I made coffee in the french press since it was just for me.  Tried a new creamer and I actually like it better because it is just slightly sweet. I am training for a 5K and doing the “couch to 5K” program.  This morning I did 5 minute warm up and...

As I was filing at work today, I looked out my window, only to be freaked out, because for a second I thought this bug was on the INSIDE of the window!  Luckily for me, it was outside! About a week ago, my daughter and I got a Greek chicken salad at of all places was A GYROS, ITALIAN BEEF STAND!  Yes, we got past...
