Soup

Yesterday morning was so cool – I had the windows open in our back room where the computer is and even after shutting the windows I had a throw blanket on my lap – I love that kind of weather! Sadly when I gave Hannah $20 bucks to pick up coffee and coffee filters on her way home from work yesterday, I told her “get...

I love sleep.  So after sleeping in until 10:00 and 10:30 respectively over the weekend, let’s just say the only thing that made me get out of bed at a decent hour was that I wanted to make a breakfast calzone for breakfast. I had leftover pizza dough from a while back – I almost like the dough better the longer it sits in the fridge. ...

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...
