I’ve worked really hard this last month and now it comes down to the final weekend for me to lose 1.7 pounds by Sunday for my DietBet.  But you know what?  I got this.  I haven’t been this on track for a long time and you know what?  It feels good.  It feels good to be in control and not the food get control of...

Rudy’s Copycat BBQ Sauce Recipe This Rudy’s Copycat BBQ Sauce is thanks to my friend Katie at Chaos in the Kitchen – so good!   My husband and I never could agree on a BBQ sauce, until Rudy’s BBQ in Texas.  Sadly, we don’t live close to one, so we had to make our own, and this one is so close to the original! Ingredients:...

Okay, so you know how I woke up late yesterday.  Like 30 minutes before I have to leave late.  Normally, this low maintenance girl is completely fine with that amount of time to get ready and out the door.  But I had none of my food prepared – I couldn’t just throw shit in a bag and figure it out later. I am following the...

I kinda hate oversleeping.  I can’t really remember the last time I did it!  Since I was starting this team beach body diet this week, and since I went out last night, I didn’t have time to prep my food last night, so it had to get done this morning. I adjusted my food yesterday because for one, I was only doing Insanity at lunch...

I woke up this morning and immediately had to grab my sweater and slippers.  I had the windows open in my back room where our computer is – had to shut those – its 52 degrees this morning!   Our summer weather has been so weird.  We’ll probably have 80 degree days in October! Tony and I went out with friends on Saturday night.  To a...

Wow.  Day 60 of Insanity.  Truth be told, I never thought I would get this far.  I am the QUEEN of declaring something, starting out strong and then just giving up.  For a variety of reasons: I am tired it takes too much time its too hard What helped me was that I declared 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. the Insanity hour.  I didn’t have to...

My friend Kelly posted this on Facebook yesterday, and it is so true. It reminded me of when I worked at a bar, and one of the regular customers was talking about becoming a nurse.  But she was 27, she’d already graduated from college and wasn’t working in a field that had anything to do with her degree.  She started talking about nursing and her...

It’s funny because I usually don’t have a sweet tooth at all – breakfast included.  But since I’ve made Martha Stewarts buttermilk pancakes, I can’t get enough of them!  I mean come on, two giant pancakes for 181 calories – I am in! So yesterday I decided to enter the recipe again just for the batter.  I decided to ditch the 4 tablespoons of butter...
