I could have used just one more day off this weekend.  It went by way too fast!  I didn’t do too much on Saturday because I had to work.  Working in the restaurant business is like the saying in Forest Gump “life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get.”  So is true with a table at a...

I don’t know what it is, but Friday’s at work seem to just drag on.  I kept looking up at the clock and it would only be 10 minutes later.  It was a slow day, so that didn’t help matters much. I was out of my broccoli quiche so I made egg white/spinach breakfast tacos.  If you haven’t found Mission Ultra Thin corn tortillas yet,...

Since I am working a double today, I decided to sleep in a bit.  My alarm went off at 6:15 and I turned it off and said “I’ll just sleep for like 15 more minutes.”  Um, more like 45 minutes!  I still have an hour before I have to leave for work, but it was nice to get that extra 45 minutes. I had the...

I realized yesterday that because of modern technology, everyone not only wants, but expects instant gratification.  Case in point.  My boss needed some new flight times.  I was at the gym when she tried to get a hold of me.  She called me six times and sent me three emails in a matter if 15 minutes.  I got back to the office within 15 minutes...

With the over six pound weight gain, it became painfully obvious that I NEED to workout before work, otherwise life gets in the way and who knows.  When my alarm went off at 6:15 yesterday morning, I turned off the alarm, put on my glasses, threw my hair back in a ponytail and I was out the bedroom door before I even had a second...

I was so excited about my Balance Bar giveaway that I forgot to mention that I was in our local Sunday paper!  Those of you who follow me on Facebook and Instagram already know, but Tony contacted our local paper after I won the Share the Pot Crock Pot recipe contest.    That was in early December and he never heard anything back.  Well last week...

Yep, I cut my losses on the 21 sugar detox.  While I definitely took less insulin, my blood sugar numbers were all over the map!  I would have thought they would be low, but even after eating stuffed peppers that had no rice or starchy fillers at all – and even after taking what little insulin I thought I would need for a low carb...

Yesterday I was rehashing my melt down of Thursday night.  And I suddenly came to realize, that I need to step back, take stock of my life, and think about all the good things going on in my life right now. Tony is home!  That is first and foremost.  I think he’s gotten more sleep in the last two days than he has in the...

It was the last day of my quiche and pork chops!  I am actually surprised that I still looked forward to it, even if I did have the same breakfast four days in a row!  I did add some grapefruit that my parents-in-law sent me for Christmas.  So good.  Nothing like Florida citrus! Before I knew it, it was time to hit up the gym. ...

For the last two days, the goal for Tony was to bring his INR number up to a safe level so they would let him leave, and GO HOME!  When I got to the hospital yesterday morning he was sound asleep.  I never know if he’s been asleep for hours or a few minutes.  He woke up 15 minutes after I got there and had...
