Soup

I am proud to say that I got up to go to the gym yesterday morning – I had every intention of doing laps, but the pool was full – and I don’t share lanes.  So I ended up getting the aqua dumbbells and ended up doing 40 minutes of upper body in the water – it was really hard to keep those floaty dumbbells...

Tony and I were able to see our doctor yesterday “through the back door” if you know what I mean.  We are full of prescriptions!  Tony has done some research, and he’s discovered Canadian pharmacies are a fraction of the cost here – and its totally legal!  And as much as Tony tried, our doctor would not get him a prescription for dilaudid.   When Tony...

Before I forget, this weeks host of BSI is Nutmeg Nanny and she chose Mango! You guys are going to be jealous of my Chobani score this weekend – only .75 cents each!  While I actually prefer plain Greek yogurt because its less carbs, the flavored ones are delicious.  Although I ended up eating the yogurt later on by itself since I ate the fresh strawberries. ...

When I got home from work yesterday, Tony asked me to guess what he had for lunch.  He said it was something we had in the house – it’s such a fun game we play (feel free to gag at this point if you wish!).  Anywho, he told me he had some of my schiacciata bread with thinly sliced proscuitto.  I instantly knew I wanted...

I went to Weight Watchers this morning . . . I am up 1.6 this week.  Not sure if I didn’t guestimate the points on my birthday right, but I am not going to get discouraged – I’ll just keep on doing what I am doing, and maybe not have as much wine this week! 😀 My lunch was so good yesterday, I had to...

I love my morning time –  blogging, reading blogs, putting my food together for the day.  It’s just me, sometimes the dog will join me from the bedroom.  Yesterday I would have had my usual morning coffee.  I was out, but asked Hannah to pick some up on her way home.  Unfortunately, it was decaf – such a waste!  (thanks anyway Han!). Sometimes these mornings...

So I picked myself up by my boot straps and went to my first WW meeting in three weeks.  My last weigh in was February 12.  I kinda flew by the seat of my pants while Tony was in the hospital, I didn’t exercise at all and there was definitely some emotional eating going on.  I was prepared to have gained back the 5.6 that...

I am so done with winter.  When I left the house yesterday morning, it was 4 degrees, with a windchill of -20.  The only saving grace was the snow that fell the night before was like powder and could be brushed off our cars with a broom, and the sun was shining.  About the only thing I like about February is that it is still...

It’s never a good sign when the news starts reminiscing about the Blizzard of 1967 when referring to our weather starting this afternoon into tomorrow.  Projections now say that our county will get up to 24 inches of snow, with 40 mph winds.  It’s February people!   I am so over winter.  I just want to be able to put our gazebo up, watch White Sox...

We had our first snow of the season yesterday.  It just barely stuck to the ground, but its just a gentle reminder that 60 degree days are long gone. 🙁  But I have been listening to Christmas music on the radio! 😀  I just can’t stand that they seem to play the same songs over and over though. I baked a bunch of potatoes over...
