Thanks for all your kind comments to yesterday’s post – you guys are the best and have some great ideas.  I agree with a fresh mouthwashed mouth I’ll have less temptation to mess it up – and have deemed the bedroom a beverage and food free zone, except for water.  😀 I am really starting to like sweet potatoes, and while I am still on...

It’s about time that I come clean to all of you.  While you stop by and see what I eat, maybe take away a recipe or two, see how many points I’ve eaten in a day if you are following Weight Watchers. What you don’t know is that I am a bed time snacker.  Not every night, but I always go to bed before Tony. ...

You can check out all our participants here for our fall/winter challenge.  I don’t know about you but I am seeing Halloween candy everywhere!  I don’t normally gravitate to sweets, I am more of a pretzel girl, but after seeing mini snickers and milky ways, my resolve starts to waiver. But I had a good week.  I didn’t work out as much as I wanted,...

When Tony and I went out to eat the other night I got sweet potato fries.  I didn’t eat them all and was going to just leave them on the plate until Tony said “can’t you make a sweet potato hash with those?” Genius.  This breakfast was so good!  Slightly sweet, savory . . . yum! Sweet Potato Hash (serves 1 for 8 WW points...

Now that the weather is chilly in the morning, I had visions of oatmeal with sauteed apples or bananas.  But then I thought it was too many carbs, and suddenly it was time to leave for work.  I had a coupon and they were on sale, so I picked up some Jimmy Dean breakfast bagels. Now normally I wouldn’t spend $6.99 (regular price) on four...

Update:  I had the wrong link to Skippy’s blog in yesterdays post – here it is!  Go visit her and say hello! I am sure by now most of you have heard about Ashley of Healthy Ashley.  I heard through Erring’s blog about her recent bike accident.  She was riding by herself when she wiped out – her only identification was her cell phone. I’ve had...

I am determined not to have a gain this week – still can’t wrap my brain around a 4.2 gain last week, and while I am looking foward, it still sneaks up on me and I keep trying to bat it away but the +4.2 keeps rattling in my brain.  Hopefully it will shut up soon. 😀 So after I blogged yesterday morning I went...

I didn’t tell you guys yesterday, but guess what time I woke up on Sunday morning?  11:30 a.m.!  So that meant when the alarm went off yesterday morning at 6:30, I did not feel like getting up. At all.  But I finally did, made some coffee, did my blog post  and slowly eased into the day. I already had my lunch made, and then I...

How many of you watched any 9/11 shows yesterday?  I had seen it before, but watched the 9/11 documentary that two frenchmen made.  They were following a rookie firefighter in Ladder 1 and just happened to be there on that fateful day. It still doesn’t seem real to me that it even happened.  9/11 is one of the reasons I don’t work in downtown Chicago...

First of all, thanks for all the comments yesterday!!  After I posted I kinda stayed off the computer, and by late afternoon it was nice to see so many cheerleaders in my corner – you guys rock!  So despite my 4.2 weight gain last week, I still feel like I had a great week.  I am becoming a better runner, getting my breathing in check...
