We had a wintery mix yesterday morning, but I knew that I’d still get outside to run at lunch.  My blood sugar was a bit high yesterday morning 219 (could be the 4 points of crackers I had the night before?!).  So I ended up taking a bit more insulin to cover my breakfast and that high number, but not enough so that I couldn’t...

You all know I love all things Mexican.  Given the chance I think I would have tacos every day.   At the store on Saturday I noticed tiny corn tortillas – I much prefer corn tortillas to flour ones.  And the fact that I could get 4 for three points sealed the deal – well, that and the price – 4 dozen for $1.99! I...

We were so happy that Tony’s blood level didn’t drop too much after he stopped taking blood thinners so that didn’t have to spend a day or two before surgery in the hospital.  We had to call Saturday night and were told to be at the hospital this morning at 7:15 for his 8:30 hernia surgery. My SIL took the day off too to keep me...

I could not have been happier that Wednesday was a rest day because yesterdays workout was hard.  It was shoulder press, calf raises, knee raises for core and then my cardio of choice. I again ate 1 cup of honeydew melon on the drive to the gym, the sun was just rising by the time I got there.  And snow flurries when I left –...

First off, I forgot to mention that my friend Robin of Big Red Kitchen gave me some loot at our meet up – I feel bad that I didn’t give her some jars of salsa, but then realized she couldn’t have taken them on the plane anyway. She gave me several Big Red Kitchen grocery bags – love them!  Now if I can just remember...

Thanks for all your well wishes for my Momma.  Our day started out pretty early – she had to be to the hospital at 7:30, so I dropped her off at 7:15.  Yes, my independent Momma didn’t want me to wait inside – just wait for the doctor to call when she was done. I drove in my workout clothes because I planned on running...

Yep, the leftover queen strikes again!  This time in breakfast form: 1 flour tortilla 1/4 cup fat free refried beans 1 scrambled egg 2 ounces leftover taco chicken from the night before last 1/2 ounce shredded cheddar cheese chopped romaine taco bell taco sauce This was a supa filling breakfast for 10 points. It’s official – I am sick.  Not horribly sick, but when...

I didn’t tell you guys yesterday, but guess what time I woke up on Sunday morning?  11:30 a.m.!  So that meant when the alarm went off yesterday morning at 6:30, I did not feel like getting up. At all.  But I finally did, made some coffee, did my blog post  and slowly eased into the day. I already had my lunch made, and then I...

I love bagel Wednesday.   I have Lori to thank for that – I love bagels, but they are quite point heavy – but having one a week works in my plan.   Life is too short not to have bagels! Mine was an everything bagel with an egg and 1/2 ounce of cheese – breakfast comes in at 11 points. If the weather could be...
