Pork

What a gorgeous day of weather we had yesterday!  I can remember so many Memorial Day parades where it was cold, rainy, etc.  My Mom actually walked in the parade we used to ride our bikes in back in the day.  It starts at my old grade school, which I haven’t probably stepped foot into in 30+ years.  I invited her over for a BBQ. ...

I am the firm believer if you have eggs or egg white with any type of protein, it can be considered breakfast food.  Case in point – leftover pulled pork.  Even though it was 8:30 in the morning, it looked so good so I decided to scramble some egg whites, toss in 3 ounces of the pork to heat up, then Pam fry some breakfast...

I love having frozen fruit on hand, and the best place for me to buy it is either Wal-mart of Sam’s Club.  On my last Sam’s Club run, I bought a 3 pound bag of blueberries for $5.98!  I ended up making another breakfast parfait by making my own fruit sauce.  So easy – any combination of fresh/frozen fruit for 1 cup.  1 cup water...

You aren’t going to believe this, but lyrics to a song I’ve listened to 1,000 times before suddenly smacked me in the face last week.  One of my favorite movies is She’s Having A Baby with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern.   It first introduced me to the singer Kate Bush, and I have some of her music saved to my Spotify lineup. So let me...

I guess the most positive thing about not having my wine at night is that I am WAY more productive!  I guess I considered drinking wine an activity, so I was busy drinking wine, no?! I signed up for my 75 minute hot yoga in the middle of last week and I wasn’t sure how to prepare for it diabetes wise.  My sister told her...

Sunday we had Christmas with my sister and her family at my Mom’s house.  I always look forward to seeing my niece and nephews.  Even though we only live an hour away from each other, it’s crazy how the days, weeks, and months go by without me seeing them.  Of course, my Mom was just happy to have her favorite child with her! Oh wait,...

After doing strength for the last couple days, I woke up a bit sore yesterday morning.  So I turned to my DVR and did 30 minutes of Classical Stretch and I felt AMAZING when I was done.  I sometimes wake up with shoulder pain and after that 30 minutes of stretching, it was completely gone.  The woman who does the shoe kind of annoys me...

You better believe I had leftover steak for breakfast yesterday.  I also had leftover mushrooms from the night before AND 1/2 a cup of potatoes leftover, so that leftover made a – hash.  I nuked 1/2 a cup of egg whites with spinach an a ramekin, and fruit on the side. I’ve actually had stuff to do at work which is refreshing!  Before I knew...

Thanks for all your sweet comments yesterday on my transformation Tuesday!  I have to tell you, just seeing that comparison photo has given me even more inspiration to keep doing what I am doing.  Making this a lifestyle and not a diet.  Truth be told though, it doesn’t really “taste” like a diet.  I haven’t really been counting calories – I only put stuff into...

Thank you for all your comments on yesterday’s post!  I have yet to respond to them personally, but I will in the next couple days.  I love you guys! In an effort to turn my frown upside down, I decided yesterday that I would pick just three things throughout the day that made me happy and smile.  First off, I LOVE singing in the car. ...
