Sauerbraten and I said No!

Sauerbraten and I said No!
Thanks for all the comments and emails yesterday about my overeating.  First, nice to know I am not alone, and second, I know I can do this.  I know I can do the work, eat healthy and get myself in better shape.  I just need to make it happen instead of waiting for it to happen. So I put on my big girl pants yesterday...

Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Sloppy Joes

Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Sloppy Joes
Thanks for all the tips for apps for my new phone!  Okay, you guys are going to laugh, but that’s okay.  I love Instagram.  I like being able to take a picture, use the features to fix it up to post to Facebook.  A while back people started following me.  A.  I don’t know how people found me, and B. I had no idea why...

These tacos ARE THE...

Braised Beef Brisket

Braised Beef Brisket
Today is back to reality.  Back to work.  No sleeping in snuggling with Tony like I did the last four days.  Let’s just say that it was a tad hard to get up this morning! But it was a great weekend.  Although we didn’t get to see as much of Joe and Lizz as we wanted, we were grateful for the time we got.  Lizz...

Two Recipes!

Two Recipes!
Thanks for all the kind comments yesterday about my day spent with my family!  Glad you think Charlie looks as good as I think he does. 😀 I have Jacky to thank for my breakfast yesterday.  A while back she posted a recipe for a cauliflower buffalo dip that looked amaze balls. But I never ended up making this because I went to Virginia, so I...

Holla! Jalapeno Popper Burger

Holla!  Jalapeno Popper Burger
It’s my bosses birthday today, but she’s taking the day off today so I brought in bagels yesterday for the office for a birthday breakfast.  I have to say, without eggs in the middle a plain bagel doesn’t keep you full for long.  I had a sesame bagel with about 2 teaspoons of light veggie cream cheese. I was totally looking forward to biking or...

Roast Beef Breakfast Burritos
I am loving the emails and comments on how everyone is liking my Inspirational Diet!  I am three days in and I have to say its given me a renewed purpose.  I was just going through the motions with WW.  I am not saying I don’t like the program, because I do.  But I just lost my mojo on it. I can’t tell you the...

Since I haven’t done a normal grocery shop this week, I refuse to go to the store because I know we have plenty of food to eat.  A week ago though I bought a container of plain Chobani – I was going to make chicken tikka masala, but never got around to it. So the breakfast parfait was back!  Sauteed apples and bananas in the...

Burger Salad!

Burger Salad!
I have discovered something about myself these last few days with my quest for trying to finally get fit, I’ve decided that I can’t really handle Jillian’s face within five minutes of waking up saying “That’s fear leaving the body!” So I went on Exercise TV on demand to find something else to do before work.  Only one problem.  All of my exercise programs on...

The Sandwich King’s Meatball Sandwich with Giardiniera

The Sandwich King’s Meatball Sandwich with Giardiniera
Remember the bagel I talked about on Friday that was giving me the stink eye?  I caved and after WW swung by a bagel shop and picked up bagels for the house.  While the jalapeno cheddar is high up on the list – my all time favorite bagel?  The everything bagel.  I toasted that bad boy up and schmeared it with a little butter and...
