I was reminded the night before last night how much t.v. is an intregal part of our daily life.  While I love all types of music, Tony is more of a talk radio/sports radio fan.  Our t.v. is pretty much on 24/7 when we are awake.  Sometimes if we aren’t even in the room!  (or rooms – is it sad that we only have 4 rooms...

When I got back from WW yesterday, Tony always asks enthusiastically “how did you do?”  Then I said happily “I only gained a pound in 2 weeks!”  And I was happy because I thought it would have been worse. That being said, how inspiring can I be in this holiday challenge if I don’t set a good example.  I am 160 pounds and I want...

Loved reading all your comments yesterday on food budgets – and thanks for the great tips! 😀 Last week I got about 30 new potatoes on the dollar rack – last weekend I roasted them and kept them in the fridge to have on hand for the week.  The roasted peppers inspired by breakfast – or what I like to call “end of the week...

I like to think that Tony and I are pretty good about managing our money.  The only debt we have is our house and we only have one credit card for emergencies.  I am the queen of the grocery store sale flyer, we don’t eat out more than once a week usually, but I still thought there was room for improvement.

We had an office party yesterday, that started with breakfast.  One of my co-workers makes the best breakfast casseroles – this one is you classic sausage casserole – this one is so good – I mean how can you go wrong with breakfast sausage, eggs and cheese?  My guess is this slice is 8 points. I really wanted two pieces this was that good. 😀...

I had such a great time with my blogger friend Robin of Big Red Kitchen yesterday! The good part about meeting a stranger for lunch is that we really aren’t even strangers – we’ve been following each others blogs since 2008, and we already knew so much about each other, it was really like meeting an old friend for lunch. 😀 We went to Carlucci’s...

Thanks for everyones concern and advice for my low blood sugar swings.  You will be happy to know that I have an appointment with my endocronologist in November.  I skipped my quarterly July appointment when we didn’t have insurance. 🙁  Meanwhile, I will keep on doing what I can to manage it until then. 😀  Luckily diabetes is a manageable disease! Pork.  It’s what’s for...

Low blood sugar seems to be the theme for me lately, and I can’t figure it out.  Maybe because I am exercising more?  For the next few days I am going to experiment by reducing the amount of insulin I normally take – my four day blood sugar average is around 84. 🙁 Knowing that Hannah and I were going to the gym last night,...

My alarm went off at 6:00 a.m. yesterday and I quickly turned it off.  Shit that’s early.  By 6:10 I knew if I didn’t get my ass out of bed, the gym would just be a thought and not my reality. But it’s dark out at that time.  And my down comforter was tucked under my chin and my husband had already reached over and...

Having Friday off from work was nice – we got the grocery shopping done, my meal plan was done so it was nice not to have an agenda yesterday.  After I got back from WW yesterday, Tony made me breakfast – he makes the best eggs – nice and spicy! Since I am not exactly sure what portions were in this breakfast, I am calling...
