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...

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...

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...

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...
