Yep, after my first successful picture that was accepted by Tastespotting way back in March, I’ve probably submitted at least 25 more pictures, to no avail. Well, my rainbow tostadas made it on today!  So cool!  It’s probably on page 3 already by now! 😀 Breakfast was the last of my egg whites and I decided to shred some zucchini in my sammie – with...

Today is the last day of my giveaway!  I’ll pick a winner tonight! 😀 See you at lunch! 😀

What a great afternoon Hannah and I had!  First stop – Kobe East for our bento boxes.  As soon as Hannah saw my pictures of lunch last Saturday when she was at work, she’s been dying to have it ever since! Each box contains 1 tempura shrimp, 2 tempura vegetables, fried rice, 4 california rolls, edamamme and teryiaki chicken. Next stop: This place was huge! ...

Tony and I went to Trader Joe’s over the weekend and I stocked up on 0% Fage – its the cheapest place to get it, and even at $1.69 a container, it is totally worth it! I did pay attention and did not buy the 10% like I did once, thinking it was 0%.  When I finished eating it I was like “this is the...

I had every intention of using the gas grill, but apparently we are out of gas.  So on to plan B!  I got the Weber going, and this time used the right amount of coals – maybe a bit too much! My friend Renee gave me this loaf of bread and I finally baked it tonight – I maybe should have mentioned to Tony that...

Since I didn’t do my normal planning/grocery shop this weekend, I’ve had to be creative with things I have on hand, which is good, because we have enough food and its a good way to clean out the fridge. 2 corn tortillas 3 ounces chopped grilled chicken (leftover from my egg rolls) 4 tablespoons red/yellow peppers 1 ounce 75% reduced fat cheddar 1 ounce pickled jalapenos...

Again, I had visions of exercise this morning, only to gently lean over and hit the snooze shut off the alarm!  Maybe I should just DVR Conan so I get to bed earlier too?!  😀 So no exercise this morning – I’ll just have to make up for it later on today. I forgot I had bought two packages of Thomas’ multigrain english muffins so an...

Nope, that wasn’t what we had for dinner, but a T-bone accident made me more than 1/2 late coming home.   My plan was to come home, throw Tony’s meatloaf in the oven, do the 20 minute shred, and then just as the meatloaf was getting done, prep our stirfry.  I walked in the door, my blood sugar was kind of low, about 70, so I...

I decided to do my interval treadmill workout today – here is my cheat sheet I tape to the treadmill: I really didn’t think I could hold that sprint for so long, but sometimes its mind over matter – I told myself I could and I did! I managed my blood sugar perfectly too – whenever I know I am going to have a tougher...

We left a few windows open last night and it got so chilly in the house the heat turned on!  It was 51 degrees when I left for work! My goal was to get up and go to the gym again today, but turns out when you stay up to watch Conan O’Brien and don’t go to bed until 11:30, it makes it hard to...
