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...

An interesting thing has happened since I started my 7 day carb cycle.  I’ve had more low blood sugars in the last week and a half than I have had in the last six months.  I’ve been eating my square three meals a day usually with no snacks and I had that down pat.  Adding in two extra meals means adding two extra shots and...

Finally getting to my Beef Recap!  It took a while to sift through the hundreds of photos I took in three days!  On our first full day in Denver we toured three different stores – Safeway (same as Dominick’s around Chicago), a local specialty meat store called Tony’s (the irony was not lost on me!) and Costco. I actually learned a lot about how beef...

I have so many things going on in my head lately.  First of all – I want to say that I have loved the 7-day carb cycle this week.  Not only that, but I have not had a glass of wine since a week ago yesterday – I know!  I love my wine, but with this whole carb cycle thing, well, I have to include...

I am really loving this carb cycle program.  First of all, one thing I’ve realized is that I only pack exactly what I am eating that day.  Remember the days of throwing shit in a bag and winging it at work?  Well, let’s say I threw a package of cheese in there for part of my lunch.  Not gonna lie there were times when I...

So my first day on the Carb Cycle lifestyle was 80% successful.  I had all my meals planned, and while it felt weird to eat at home, it was nice eating breakfast while scanning facebook and Pinterest, even though the dogs were waiting for me to drop something on the floor.  That usually doesn’t happen if I am at work.  My first meal was at...

I am sure like many of you, you watch weight loss shows while drinking a glass of wine, maybe having some cheese and crackers, or maybe even eating take out pizza.  I say that because all of those scenarios relate to me – Tony used to make so much fun of me when I ate watching Biggest Loser or Extreme Weight Loss with Chris Powell. ...
