I had such a great day yesterday!  First of all, it was nice outside, even if it was on the cool side! After breakfast Hannah and I met up with my Mom at the local Goodwill, then hit up Trader Joe’s.  I went in to pick up some kind of dip as an appetizer, and ended up spending $4!  One product I will definitely be...

I’ve had a lovely morning so far!  I slept in until 9:00.  Hannah had already made coffee and brought in the Sunday papers.  I was greeted with a beautiful vase of flowers! Hannah got me a big coffee cup and two different kinds of flavored teas.  She also gave me these two items that I can’t wait to try! Whenever I make my baja salsa,...

Um, can I just note for the record that I would like to have every Friday afternoon off?  I got so much done yesterday!   First and foremost though was to help Hannah with her hair.  Truth be told, I hardly did anything – but I am responsible for curling four sections of hair she couldn’t reach – oh, and I zipped up her dress!  I...

Time is moving so fast!  I can’t believe tonight is Hannah’s prom already!  The weather kind of sucks this morning, but hopefully the rain will stop by tonight. Breakfast was the last of my broccoli egg bake, a peach Chobani yogurt (which was delicious!!), 1 ounce of sourdough bread – and one orange that I was too full to eat!  Breakfast comes in at 385...

I had Mexican food twice yesterday!!  Truth be told, I could have Mexican every day and never get sick of it! For breakfast yesterday I used up some leftover broccoli, shredded zucchini, diced ham, egg beaters and mozzarella cheese to make another sort of crustless quiche.  I thought this would be 4 servings, but after I entered it into www.calorieking.com, I realized I could eat...

Who watched Biggest Loser last night?  Who cried like I did??!!  I absolutely LOVE makeover week!  Other than the finale, it’s probably my favorite week. It is so amazing how far they have come in just 16 weeks!  It got me thinking – sometimes we want results right now.  We have a good week, step on the scale and shows a minimal loss.  We pout,...

It’s another beautiful morning in Chicagoland!   I just love it when the sun is shining – it just automatically puts you in a good mood! 😀 Breakfast yesterday was an oat bran bagel sammie with an orange on the side.  The orange was kind of dry, but I ate it anyway! 2.5 ounce oat bran bagel, 1/2 cup egg beaters, 1 cup baby spinach and...

It’s so sad that today is Monday again, but Tony and I had a wonderful weekend!  Hannah worked most of the day Saturday and then went out with friends, and yesterday she spent the day with my Mom – so it was as if Tony and I were empty nesters! Not that I didn’t miss my daughter, don’t get me wrong, but Tony and I...

I was kind of scared about this weeks BSI choice – I am not that familiar with artichokes at all!   Have you ever had marinated artichoke hearts?  OMG, so delicious – just by themselves!  So while I was going to do one dish for two different contests (the second being 5-Star Foodies pasta makeover) I decided to make two different dishes. First up – artichoke...

Yep, today is weigh in day since its the first of the month.  Is it just me or can you believe we are already at May 1st already??!! That’s right, I lost a whopping 1.2 the month of April!   I know I have commented on some of your blogs about this, but I recently looked back to my WW journals from 1999-2000.   On April 1,...
