Thanks for all your comments to yesterday’s post, and for having faith in me!   I will respond to all the comments tomorrow when I am off, but I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am realizing that I am a controlling person.  I like to know what’s going to happen, how things are going to work out.  Take yesterday...

So as it has been going lately, I gain a pound or .8 one week, then lose it the next week! So I am basically down .6 for the last 7 weeks.  I am hoping to get my act together and actually string two whole weeks in a row with a loss.  I ended up bringing my breakfast to the meeting.  It’s a bit of...

Since I knew I was having lunch out yesterday morning, I didn’t want to eat too much, but I knew I needed to eat something.  The kidults are big cereal eaters, so I grabbed a bowl of Honey Comb.  Each serving is 1.5 cups and with 1/2 a cup of unsweetened almond milk, breakfast was only 5 points.  Growing up we only had Wheaties or...

Friday night, believe it or not, I did not make pizza.  I know!  Well, I already had frozen pizza earlier in the week, and I had a pork loin in the freezer and decided to make that on the grill.  Pork is one of my favorite meats to grill.  Because the loin doesn’t have a lot of fat on it, I cook the pork on...

I decided to eat breakfast a bit later than usual yesterday, not knowing when I was going to be eating next.  I packed my bag with another wrap, cucumbers, banana, blueberries, grapes and lots of water.  I ended up making a diner like breakfast because the kidults didn’t have summer school until the afternoon, so it was nice to have breakfast together.  Egg white omelet...

It’s really ridiculous the amount of spam emails I get regarding this blog.  At least 20 emails a day – everything from Indian companies trying to get me to hire them for SEO so that my page ranks higher on google, to new artificial sweeteners to try for diabetics, the list goes on and on.  I had to laugh at this one though – apparently...

Yep, the queen of maintenance is what you can call me! Up .8 for the week, and up .4 since April 21, so basically the same as when I started going back to WW meetings.  And while I wish the scale was going down, I do know that being aware of what I eat has prevented me from being 200 pounds by now.  This last...

I had an unintentional rest day yesterday.  I had plans on a long walk, and a long workout at the gym yesterday, but my blood sugar was not cooperating.  I gave myself the normal amount of insulin for breakfast, maybe even a little less than I would have because I knew I wanted to walk.  Breakfast was an egg, egg white scramble, with turkey bacon,...

Friday the kidults didn’t have to work, and it was my day off so we decided to go out to lunch.  We had the place picked out – the Tracks in our downtown.  They have outdoor seating which we thought would be nice because it was gorgeous, but turns out everyone else in our town had the same idea, so the wait was 30 minutes. ...

It was another gorgeous day at the Farmers Market.  Although since this one starts at 7:00 a.m., it’s a tiny bit hard to have people sample veggie burgers at that time in the morning, but I ended up coming just $80 short for a sales record for that market – so that’s good! And yes Mom, I did remember to wear sunscreen.  I keep a...
