Pork

Be sure to scroll down to get the recipe for pork chops with cranberry balsamic glaze – so good! One word could describe most of my day yesterday.  LAZY! And it was wonderful!  I am one of those people who always has a list of things I have to do and a list of things I want to do.  I don’t waste a lot of...

Thanks for all the kind comments on my 1,000,000 page view post!  You are so kind.  And it’s nice to see people comment that I didn’t know were out there (Hi Larry and Wild Child!).  You have until tomorrow to still enter my giveaway.  Good luck! Yesterday’s breakfast was not only filling, but it was so tasty!  I scrambled 1/2 a cup of egg whites...

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. ...
