Have to hurry – we have banked time on Celebrity Apprentice and can’t wait to see what happens with the whole Melissa and Joan fiasco of last week – Tony and I never laughed so hard when we saw Melissa run around with her “boot” on her foot asking for her purse and screaming to the director that she will not do an interview! Hope...

I had the best grocery shop today!!  I am going to incorporate some of Jillian’s meal ideas for my breakfasts and lunches this week.  Each one is around 400-450 calories each.   I didn’t think I could convince Tony to eat Jillian dinners, so my dinners on this weeks menu are my own. 😀 But first when I got home from the store, I lit the...

We decided to do the chicken on the Weber grill last night.  We were watching an episode of Dinner Impossible recently, and one of the recipes he did was herb roasted chicken.  I got fresh rosemary and thyme and large peeled garlic and stuffed that under the skin.  The only problem I had was that I used natural wood coals, which burn hot and rather...

Our weather is awesome today!   Not to hot, not too cold, and before all the bugs come out! After the soccer game, I finally broke down and got a new cell phone – my old one was three years old, and I held out as long as I could because I am not good with the technology on cell phones.  Hannah has a touch phone cell phone, and...

Hannah and I had a nice lunch yesterday – I love Panera!!  Their broccoli cheese soup is awesome.  I ended up getting the combo of the 8 ounce soup, classic salad and, of course, their whole grain bread which has to be dipped into the soup! So my office softball game was early, so Tony picked up ribs for us for dinner so I’d have...

Hannah has a half day today, so she is picking me up for lunch, but a bit later than usual.  I am out of spinach (although Tony warned me that there was a salmonella outbreak, so check your spinach packages here). Breakfast was 2.5 ounces of Panera’s delicious sourdough bread, 1/2 cup egg whites, 1 ounce deli ham and 1 ounce extra sharp cheddar cheese. ...

I just realized that you could “join” Jillian’s online program for free for 30 days if you buy one of her DVDs.  Just look on the inside flap for the link.  I decided to try it, basically because I wanted to see what her thoughts were on nutrition, which is one thing that is SERIOUSLY lacking on the Biggest Loser Show! Here’s what I found out...

And I couldn’t be happier! 😀  I got this sauce from the Asian grocery store: The spicy also could have come from the sliced red jalapeno I threw in just for kicks! 😀 It wasn’t until I put this into www.calorieking.com that I realized that this bowl only comes in at 224 calories, 9 fat and 23 carbs – so I may have to dig into...

It’s another rainy day, although the temps are supposed to be near 7o today.  At least everything is turning green so that’s a good sign spring is almost here! I had plenty of time this morning, so I put together a hash for breakfast – 4 ounces cooked chopped potato, 2 ounces deli corned beef hash, one small egg, and 1/2 ounce of jalapeno cheese. ...
