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...

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...

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...

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...
