Winter’s Grip. . .

is taking hold tonight.  It’s supposed to go down to 5 degrees, with wind chills of – 10.  Tomorrow’s high is 13!  But at least we didn’t get as much snow as they predicted!  Happily our house is very air tight, and we have a wood burning stove! 😀 I ate the last of the pecan pancakes this morning – something about the ham and...

Biggest Loser Finale!

So excited to watch it tonight!  But I am torn, do I watch it when it starts, or do I wait and DVR it to fast forward the commercials??  What would you do? For those of you at home keeping score, you’ll know that yesterday was weigh-in Monday!  You’ll note I am up +.8 from last week.  I am not too concerned though – I...

Sunday Eats

I had so much computer problems last night – I couldn’t open Windows Live Writer and it made me mad so I just shut off the computer!  Now I have to post the old fashioned way! 😀 Morning was 1 ounce of bagel, 1/4 cup egg beaters, 1/4 cup egg whites, 1 tablespoon bacon bits, and hashbrowns. Breakfast: 379 calories, 13 fat, 42 carbs, 22...

BSI – Cinnamon – Snickerpoodles!

What a busy day yesterday!  I love sleeping in on the weekends, and yesterday was no exception – I didn’t get out of bed until 9:30!  I made a quick breakfast sammie: 1/4 cup egg whites, 1/4 egg beaters, 1 ounce ham, 2 oz. bagel and .8 ounce Swiss cheese: Hannah took the day off of work because she was going to be babysitting for...

Date Night = Great Night!

What a great day yesterday, although it now officially feels like winter!  Breakfast was 1/4 cup egg beaters, 2/3 cup diced canned potato, 1/2 cup egg whites, 1/2 ounce cheese on a low carb tortilla (I love these – La Tortilla Factory and only 50 calories each and 7 grams of fiber!!  I drizzled it with spicy green salsa to kick it up a notch!...

More Exercise TV!

My alarm went off at 7.  I was wide awake, but then said to myself “a couple more minutes won’t hurt.”  Next thing I know it’s 7:20, and I still hadn’t put my food together for the day!  So my morning work out was a quick one.  I did 10 minutes of glutes and 10 minutes of abs.  Gotta love that the abs video was...

Exercise TV On Demand

While Tony and Hannah know our AT&T U-verse inside and out, I rarely take the time to see what is available.  I know Meghann routinely does exercise t.v. on demand so this morning, since the dog had absolutely NO interest in going outside, I decided to see if we had something similar.  Guess what?? WE DO! It was under the heading of “Lifestyle” t.v. and...

I was up at 5:50 a.m.!

Um, pretty sure not because I wanted to though!  Our dog sleeps at the foot of our bed on the floor.  I was awakened by him making all sorts of noises, so I thought at first he was just having a bad dream.  Our bedroom is pitch black, and our dog is black, so I was like Helen Keller trying to find him!  He was...

Weigh-In Monday and Reason 1,112 I love Tony!

Did you see all that shit I ate last week?  From the cheese and salami tray on our date night last Tuesday, to that amazing chicken sandwich with onion rings and Southwest ranch dressing, I am down –0.4!  Yep, I will take that loss because now I weigh exactly: So fricken close to the 150’s!  What was my saving grace for not having a gain...
