I have Jacky to thank for finding this online.  Apparently one of my blog readers was upset that I was referring my food to looking like poo in a couple posts ago and thinks I’ve gone off the deep end.  I know what I put myself out here that I am fair game, but this is kind of crazy.  She said she used to feel...

It’s hard to believe nine months has gone since Tony passed away.  Some days if feels like nine minutes, other times it feels like a life time.  Every month I am reminded by the hospice center I picked out.  I know they mean well, but some of the stuff I read doesn’t make sense to me. Case in point – yesterday I got a list...

There was a slight delay in getting the beef we cut from our Denver trip because of a back order of shipping boxes, but it’s totally worth the wait. I defrosted the “tenderloin cubes/tips” bag the night before last in the fridge.  I used some of the beef for my breakfast and had plans on using the rest of it for a beef stir fry...

I’ve been trying out different protein powders trying to find one that doesn’t make me poop my pants.  Doing this carb cycling it’s nice to have a mini meal that is pretty much grab and go.  Well, we have a winner! Even though yesterday was my cheat day, I knew I was going out to dinner last night to celebrate my SIL’s birthday and even...

I was so happy when Courtney invited me to her cooking club a while back.   She was just at the tail end of a whole kitchen/family room remodel and I know she had dreams of getting back in her kitchen when she was without one for weeks during construction. Um, to say the project was a complete success is an understatement! I mean, come on...

I took a rest day yesterday and it was the best thing for my body.  Um, I think I have to remind myself that I am 47 years old, not 25!  I had a great time at Cooking Club and opted to sleep in this morning.  I got my new Fitbit yesterday and had to reload the software this morning and sync my dashboard up...

I do love that each breakfast on my Carb Cycle program is high carb – something about jumping your metabolism with carbs because I think bacon and eggs would get old after a while.  I thought about making breakfast muffins yesterday before work, but wasn’t sure what I wanted to do when I saw that I had sourdough bread and that sealed the deal. 2...

My friend who’s house I went to and cooked on that totally deluxe stove is an awesome decorator.  Like, if she ever gives up her day job as an attorney, she should really look into becoming a decorator – she’s got that good of an eye. Once I told her that I was on my way with the construction on my living room, she immediately...

Yesterday my meals were a bit off because at 6:55 a.m. I had my huge dumpster delivered and while they said that it would be delivered sometime between 7 am and 5 pm, I didn’t expect it to be 7!  All the cars were parked in the driveway still so I had to get Hannah and Jacob up to move all the cars to the...

It still is taking a bit of me getting used to doing whatever I want, whenever I want.  I met up some of my blog readers at the Madison Farmers Market Saturday morning.  As I was driving there I was contemplating how different my life is now.  Had Tony still been alive and I had made this mini road trip, the whole drive up I’d...
