Pork

Going into this weekend, I had a couple of events that I knew could throw me off my plan, but that I semi planned for.  The first one was a birthday party on Saturday – I enjoyed two beers and half a sandwich, and managed to avoid the cheese tray and the ice cream cookie dessert. On Sunday, my twin sister and I met up...

I can’t stop eating.  It started on Saturday when I picked my way through the day eating all the goodies at The Chopping Block.   Then after dinner on Saturday night I ate half a bag of Dorito’s the kids had in the pantry.  Then I had a couple glasses of wine.  I stopped at Trader Joe’s on my way home from work on Saturday...

Another whirlwind weekend in the books!  While I loved the sunshine, I would have liked it to be about 10 degrees warmer, but as long as it is sunny, I am a happy camper.  It makes me wonder why I don’t live in California!  On that’s right, I don’t think I’d be able to have a house on an acre lot and only have a...

Um, can I just say it’s bullshit that work is getting in the way of me posting my eats on Instagram?!  Hahahaha!   I am kidding . . .a little bit.  The minutes and hours go by so fast.  I’ll have my phone plugged in under my desk and even though it’s on mute, I can hear the vibrations of notifications on my social media, and...

I actually don’t mind getting a Timehop that stops me in my tracks.  Obviously nearly 99% of all my Timehops are food related because it grabs the memories from Instagram and Facebook.   Yesterday I had two Tony memories: I remember that he called me last minute and wanted to know if I could break away from work and meet him for lunch.  I think this...

Anyone who’s been a Weight Watcher for any amount of time has their “Weight Watcher Uniform.”  Basically the lightest clothes you own so that you have the most loss on the scale come weigh in day.  And you pretty much wear it every.single.weigh.in.  It makes it a bit difficult when it’s 20 degrees in Chicago!  I weighed in before work so I’d be able to...

I am so happy to be eating all this Florida citrus.  The only thing better would be to eat it right off the tree in 80 degree weather!  I have to tell you though, before I started working at The Chopping Block, I think I may have massacred  every piece of grapefruit trying to get all the fruit out – that is until I learned...

I find myself blogging tonight outside on my laptop, home alone because the kadults are working – with a glass of pinot grigio to the side in gorgeous 72 degree weather.   The sun is shining, blue skies and its nights like tonight that make me miss Tony the most.  We lived for weather like this to sit outside and have some cocktails while listening to...

Yesterday I was up at 7:20. Got my coffee, wrote my blog, did some computer work, when all of a sudden I looked up and it was 9:00 a.m. and I had to leave for WW in 15 minutes.  I chose to wear a hat vs. jumping in the shower (klassy) and was able to make this quick egg white omelet to go before heading...

Scroll down to find the recipe for my Pineapple Garlic Sriracha BBQ Sauce, so good! Yesterday was my weekly WI and I was happy to see a loss of 1.2!  Two weeks in a row, or 2.2 pounds – and I hope to continue the streak next week.  Can a sista just get to the first five pounds so I can get a sticker at...
