I had the best grocery shop today!!  I am going to incorporate some of Jillian’s meal ideas for my breakfasts and lunches this week.  Each one is around 400-450 calories each.   I didn’t think I could convince Tony to eat Jillian dinners, so my dinners on this weeks menu are my own. 😀 But first when I got home from the store, I lit the...

We decided to do the chicken on the Weber grill last night.  We were watching an episode of Dinner Impossible recently, and one of the recipes he did was herb roasted chicken.  I got fresh rosemary and thyme and large peeled garlic and stuffed that under the skin.  The only problem I had was that I used natural wood coals, which burn hot and rather...

Our weather is awesome today!   Not to hot, not too cold, and before all the bugs come out! After the soccer game, I finally broke down and got a new cell phone – my old one was three years old, and I held out as long as I could because I am not good with the technology on cell phones.  Hannah has a touch phone cell phone, and...

Hannah and I had a nice lunch yesterday – I love Panera!!  Their broccoli cheese soup is awesome.  I ended up getting the combo of the 8 ounce soup, classic salad and, of course, their whole grain bread which has to be dipped into the soup!

I just realized that you could “join” Jillian’s online program for free for 30 days if you buy one of her DVDs.  Just look on the inside flap for the link.  I decided to try it, basically because I wanted to see what her thoughts were on nutrition, which is one thing that is SERIOUSLY lacking on the Biggest Loser Show! Here’s what I found out...
