I was so excited to get to the gym yesterday that I forgot to pick a winner for the food scale giveaway last week! The winner is:  True Random Number Generator Min: 1  Max: 73 Result: 16 Blog Reader: amy marantino said: November 3, 2011 at 4:04 pm my goal is to take a vacation Amy, send me your mailing address to: mybizzykitchen@gmail.com – congrats!...

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...

The scale has not been my friend these last few weeks – this week I am up .8! But my size 12 pants are loose, my running is faster and I am not going to let the scale get the best of me.  I texted Hannah my weigh in, and she texted back “maybe its muscle?”  Love her positive attitude! 😀 I made a delicious...

After having pumpkin scones almost every day last week, I went back to an old standby – the bagel sammie!  1 small onion bagel (the only time I’ll do onion anything), 1/4 cup egg beaters, 1/2 ounce swiss cheese and 1 oz. deli ham.  A delicious 9 PointsPlus breakfast that kept me full for hours. I actually got the idea for my zucchini meat balls...

Having a food blog, I think I tend to keep trying different things – not only for myself but it would be a pretty boring food blog if I ate oatmeal every day.  So I was happy to bring back . . . Breakfast Nachos! This time the base of my nachos was a drained can of pinto beans mixed with a 4 oz. can...

A while back I mentioned that I was being interviewed for Diabetes Forecast magazine.  I talked to the reporter for about 30 minutes about how I carb count, how I handle insulin and exercise.  Well, I got one tiny paragraph – but at least I am number one! Check out the article here – and pass it along to any diabetic family or friends you...
