A friend of mine invited a few people over for yappy hour last night.  I was only going to stay “for a couple.”  I looked at the clock and it was like 7:30 and I still had Chex mix to make last night. Next thing I know it’s 10:30!  I had no idea it had gotten so late, that I had so many glasses of...

I am usually really on top of gift giving every year – but we are on a tight budget this year so I really need to think a bit harder.  My brother, sister and Tony’s family just decided to do family gift boxes, i.e. mostly homemade stuff.  This year I decided to make caramel corn, but added in chopped bacon – holy shizz – I made...

Whenever I announce to Tony that I am going to get up to go to the gym, I think he thinks in the back of his head “I’ll believe it when I see it!”  But I like that motivation.  I’ve said it before my husband thinks I am beautiful right now at 160 pounds, just as much as he loved me when I got up...

Thanks for being such cheerleaders yesterday with my 2.8 pound gain – still can’t wrap my brain around it, but I am going to kick ass this week! I was super busy right off the bat at work (even got in a bit early) so I only had time to take two quick pictures.  They both sucked ass.  But breakfast was delicious – I had...

This weekend went by in the blink of an eye!  I had a party on Friday night, my fitness test at the gym Saturday morning. twin fest yesterday.  It was a blur! Yesterday when I woke up I felt thinner.  I have no idea why, but I contemplated getting on my Zero Scale yesterday morning but decided not to because Monday is my WI day....

January 1st is a mere 27 days away!  Now is the time that I have to work extra hard so I don’t eat my way through the holidays.  How are you doing on the 2011 Holiday Challenge? I have my meal plan in place, and have some good eats coming up – I am trying a thai curry butternut squash soup, Italian stuffed zucchini boats, salsa...

Once a year my gym offers members a full fitness evaluation.  I scheduled my appointment probably six weeks ago and it was this morning. The take measurements, weight, body fat percentage, fitness treadmill test and a basal metobolic rate. I didn’t make it to WW today, but with a pair of light sweats and a t-shirt, I weighed in at exactly 160.0. The results? as;dlfka...

I think you could call my theme of the day “freezer diving.”  With so much food in the house I was adamant about not going to the grocery store, even though one of my favorite grocery stores just opened up on November 30 in Crystal Lake – we have a Fresh Market! I went looking in the freezer to see what I could come up...

Yikes.  I can’t tell you how fast this year has gone by.  Pretty soon it will be Christmas and New Years and that dreaded “I’ll lose weight this year!” January 1 resolution.  Don’t believe me?  Check out these posts! http://mybizzykitchen.com/2009/01/02/2009-is-mine/ http://mybizzykitchen.com/2010/01/01/happy-new-year/ In 2010 this is what I looked like – I think my face is thinner now. 😀  (Hi Mel!!) http://mybizzykitchen.com/2010/12/31/new-year-new-you/ Well I am happy...
