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...

Turns out my new camera has a little flashy thing that tells me when my battery is REALLY low – so there is no picture of my breakfast – but it was 2 ounces of leftover pepper steak, peppers and cheese stuffed into a hallowed out 2 ounce baked potato – such a filling breakfast for only 6 points! So guess who’s caught the running...

It was so nice to cook dinner last night and it was still light out.  Now I just can’t wait to bring out our gazebo chairs and be able to sit outside – that’s one of our favorite things to do at night. 😀 Yesterdays breakfast was a favorite, and each time I have it I wonder why I wait so long between eating it. ...

One of my goals this year is to take more group classes.  On Friday I saw that there was a 30 minute spin class on Saturday morning, so I got my ass up at 6:30 a.m. to make the 7:00 WW meeting so it wouldn’t interfere with that spin class. I am not at all upset with a -.6.  I am a complete emotional eater,...
