is the best!  I was out of the house by 7:50 and it was so nice to be able to take my time, see all the produce, but not feel like I was getting in someones way!!  But last night I did have two six ounce glasses of wine – from Walmart of all places!  It wasn’t too bad! I woke up this morning with...

Before I get onto food, I have to show you my cute shoes I got at the thrift store – Ann Taylor no less for $5!  Um, speaking of hand weights to do Jillian at home, guess who did Level 2 today (albeit the “Anita” or beginner side) of Jillian today!  Yep – me!  I have to say the walking push-ups and the oblique planks...

I did get the walk in with Ed!   We only went the 1.6 mile loop, because he hasn’t walked this far in a while, and I do have to remember that he’s getting older!  But the walks help him out so much, even if he is spent the rest of the day! So Hannah and I went to: Walgreens to pick up my glucose test strips...

I’ve always loved going out to breakfast, maybe even more than going out to dinner!  Not only can you choose  from a million different items at diners  – its also the cheapest meal to eat out! My omelet was just okay – I ate about half of it.  The broccoli was very crispy – almost raw tasting, so I picked most of that off.  And I didn’t specify...

While I made Hannah and Tony’s dough the usual, I decided to try a mix of whole wheat and rice flour for my dough – its still a work in progress, but I am close – and I like how much fiber I get too! But before I get to that, I thought I almost wasn’t going to get the Shred in today!   Work was non-stop...

Quick lunch post – why do Fridays have to be so busy??!! First off, the one thing that makes my stirfry are these Asian noodles that we found at the Asian grocery store at Hannah’s birthday.  They are fully cooked, just “heat” up with hot water for 30 seconds and toss them in your stir-fry – that’s it!  The best part is each 5.5 ounce...

I have to credit Kath for the mocktail idea.  Hannah actually spotted this when we were shopping at Walmart – its a low carb, sugar free Ruby Red Grapefruit Drink!   So I had this mocktail last night while watching t.v. When I looked at the weather report last night it said today would be clear, with highs in the low 50’s.  Well, this morning when...

I wrote my lunch post, which Tony is calling my “manifesto,” hit publish and finished out my work day.  So imagine my surprise when I read all of your heartfelt comments on the previous post.  Just goes to show that you don’t have to see someone in person to be their friend and give them support – so MANY THANKS! But you’ll be really proud...

So since my friends and I have committed to doing Jillian’s 30-day shred, I decided I was only going to weigh myself on April 1st (which I did last night) and take my measurements, and not weigh or measure myself until May 1st. I am sure at some point or another, everyone has had a weight loss journal.  I have had a few!   But this particular...
