Pork

I loved all your comments yesterday about eating the bugels – that they basically cancelled out my workout, which is true.  But I’ve come to the decision that I have to be stronger than the food.  I am in control, not the food.  And yesterday I was tested – at work?                                         Yep, cinnamon rolls, black and white cookies AND brownies.  Just so you...

Surprisingly, this week went by pretty quickly.  Since having a short week the week before when I went to Virginia, I thought this week would drag, but here we are at Friday! I think I am on a Mexican kick this week!  More breakfast tacos – although get ready for some yogurt parfaits – Chobani is sending me another case of yogurt – this time...

It’s becoming a habit that on Saturday mornings, after WW and running errands, I usually don’t eat until around 11:30 or 12:00.  Yesterday I had an egg sammie on my three hour baguette.   In case you are wondering, I am definitely making this bread again – soon! I baked up some corn chips – Danica cut her tortillas into 6ths, I did mine in 4ths...

I forgot to buy coffee the day before yesterday, but then remembered that my brother had given me pumpkin spice coffee – yum!  Thanks for all my Christmas loot Charlie and Laura! 😀  (BTW, click on Charlie’s name – he’s leaving the blog world for a while 🙁 ) No matter what time of year it is, I almost always have an iced coffee when...

I think you could call my theme of the day “freezer diving.”  With so much food in the house I was adamant about not going to the grocery store, even though one of my favorite grocery stores just opened up on November 30 in Crystal Lake – we have a Fresh Market! I went looking in the freezer to see what I could come up...

Thanks for all your comments yesterday on my speedy run – one of my co-workers thought I had sped up my feet somehow! For those of you who missed it, here is the video again, um – maybe with Tony’s commentary? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh0Uiiq-YuI&feature=feedu] He sent it to me at work yesterday and I just about peed my pants.  Thanks Tony! I love canned potatoes. They are...

We had a really big toaster oven.  We don’t have a very big kitchen, and why I thought I needed a toaster oven that had a bun warmer, I have no idea.  I think I used the bun warmer twice?  This is what it looked like: We had it for years, and then to me, it seemed that it took twice as long to get...

I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone’s comments to yesterday’s post.  While I don’t consider myself inspiring at all, I felt the virtual hugs from you all – and its nice to know I am not alone in the weight loss fight. 😀 Since I went to the gym Monday morning, I decided to walk before work yesterday morning.  The temperature was about 55, perfect fall morning. ...

If there is anything my husband enjoys more than football, it’s football food.  I decided to make him mini corn dogs – however, I learned a valuable lesson.  Um, you should always buy all beef hotdogs.  Turns out I bought the cheap “chicken and pork” variety, so while he enjoyed the coating, don’t skimp on the dog, okay? 😀 Corn Dogs – this is enough...

I saw Lori’s blog post where she had pumpkin oats and I was a tad bit jealous because my local store had a sign where the pumpkin should be that said “coming soon!”  I hope we don’t have a pumpkin shortage this year.  Otherwise how will I make my pumpkin scones with spicy glaze I’ve been craving once the weather starts to cool? So I...
