First off, I wanted to thank everyone for their well wishes on my blood sugar situation.  Tony and  I talked about it, and the only thing that makes sense was that I gave myself two shots.  So now I  am going back to writing it down again, if for no other reason to not get that low ever again! Tony and I were enjoying each...

My day was going well.  I was getting a lot done, had just done a 40 minute work out with my co-worker.  Lunch was two chicken tacos with lots of green salsa, pickled jalapenos on low carb wraps. About half way though my second taco is when it started.  The beads of sweat forming from the top of my head and slowly dripping down my...

A giveaway that is!  Kerstin at Cake, Batter and Bowl picked my name – now I have chocolates to put out over the holidays – thanks Kerstin! I got a kick out of the nutritional label! Breakfast was a 4.5 ounce potato, 3 ounces diced lean beef from last nights dinner, with a fried egg on top.  Surprisingly, NO CHEESE! Later in the morning I...

I have to go back and double check, but I think I am exactly the same as last week!  So maybe I should switch my goals to “maintaining” through the holidays?! Tony and I started out our Saturday morning out to breakfast.  Nothing to write home about (and the picture didn’t turn out at all!).  I had an egg beater omelet with diced ham and...

Hannah had to work last night so it was date night – IN!  You know I love my party pizza Friday!  In this month’s Cooks Illustrated they had a recipe for Chicago Style Deep-Dish Pizza.  Tony and I have attempted this in the past with mixed results.  I thought last night would be a perfect night to try it – only one thing – I...

When I let Ed out this morning, a burst of arctic air immediately hit my face!  Even the dog didn’t stay out longer than he had to!  I came inside to check weather.com: Yikes!  I decided to warm my car up about 10 minutes before I left, thinking the ice would melt, but it didn’t.  While I finished getting ready for work though, Tony went...

is taking hold tonight.  It’s supposed to go down to 5 degrees, with wind chills of – 10.  Tomorrow’s high is 13!  But at least we didn’t get as much snow as they predicted!  Happily our house is very air tight, and we have a wood burning stove! 😀 I ate the last of the pecan pancakes this morning – something about the ham and...

So excited to watch it tonight!  But I am torn, do I watch it when it starts, or do I wait and DVR it to fast forward the commercials??  What would you do? For those of you at home keeping score, you’ll know that yesterday was weigh-in Monday!  You’ll note I am up +.8 from last week.  I am not too concerned though – I...

I had technical difficulties last night, but this morning the computer was working fine (thanks Tony!), so you’ll have to come back tonight for a 2-day recap!  And recipes for: Toasted Pecan Pancakes Best Beef Stew Pulled North Carolina Chicken Skinny Coleslaw And Biggest Loser Finale Tonight!  The first time my brother sent me this, I almost peed in my pants I was laughing so...

I had so much computer problems last night – I couldn’t open Windows Live Writer and it made me mad so I just shut off the computer!  Now I have to post the old fashioned way! 😀 Morning was 1 ounce of bagel, 1/4 cup egg beaters, 1/4 cup egg whites, 1 tablespoon bacon bits, and hashbrowns. Breakfast: 379 calories, 13 fat, 42 carbs, 22...
