Day 29 of 30 day Shred Done! and TGIF?

Oh my gosh, if one more thing went wrong with my computer at work today I was ready to crack open a bottle of wine we keep in our work wine cooler leftover from Christmas!  Keeping my fingers crossed tomorrow goes smoother! Since I didn’t do Jillian at lunch I had to do it when I got home from work.  I also wasn’t prepared for...

Computer woes and 8.0 mph

I’ve had the worst time with my computer at work today – still busy, I’ll post lunch (which was delicious by the way!) with dinner tonight.  I was by myself for my lunch work out and didn’t have the Jillian dvd, so I did my jog/run/sprint routine for 40 minutes on the treadmill. I reached a new personal goal – 8.0 mph on my last...

Busy Day . . .

I was running late this morning so McDonald’s came to the rescue!  I ended up getting the breakfast burrito and the fruit and walnut salad.  All together breakfast comes in at 510 calories, 24 fat and 57 carbs – not too bad! If you did not watch Biggest Loser last night, go here for a great recap, Tom always does a great job with that.   What...

On Top of Old Smokey!

I realized when I was fixing dinner that my package of cheese ravioli was only 1/2 a package, so angel hair pasta had to fill in!    I am not going to post my meatball recipe – I need to tweak it some more – and Tony said they needed more salt – I am terrible when it comes to salt!!  I must have burned all...

Two Problems and Tofu Spaghetti

First problem was that my breakfast was so sweet to me, I couldn’t finish it – which resulted in a second problem – low blood sugar!  I calculated how much insulin I would need to cover the breakfast (which was a lot by the way at 74 grams of carbs!) but if you don’t eat enough to match the insulin, it results in low blood...

Not my normal breakfast . . .

I slept as long as possible this morning – yes, yet again, I decided it was a good idea to stay up until midnight watching Anthony Bourdain travel through the Philippines!   It was a good show, interesting food, but I easily could have DVR’d it and gone to bed! So breakfast and lunch was sort of “thrown” together with whatever was within easy reach.  I’ve...

Best Onion Rings !!!

Before I get to that though – I had to post my lunch – a turkey flat out, lots of veggies and about a cup of my chicken brunswick stew – I used green salsa mixed with one tablespoon fat free ranch dressing for a spicy veggie dip for only 20 calories! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dy7kT0QQRE] Beer-Battered Onion Rings (courtesy of Cooks Country!) 2 sweet onions, peeled and sliced...

Day 27 of 30 Shred – DONE!

We did level 3 again today – and even though I did it yesterday, it seemed really hard today for some reason! Busy day, I’ll have to post my lunch with dinner.  Come on back tonight for Green Chile Burgers (for me only Tony, don’t worry!) and Classic Onion Rings.  I know, can you believe I have onions in my house??!!  See you tonight!

Monday again . . .

My weekends seem to be going by way too fast for me!   And for some reason I thought it was a good idea to stay up until midnight to finish watching Iron Chef – butter!   Needless to say, I did not get up and work out, but plan to do Shred today at lunch. Breakfast was the typical egg mcmuffin! I brought a Fuji apple...

Steak with Mushrooms and Blue Cheese Sauce

Before I get on to our delicious steak, even though I didn’t feel like it, I ended up doing Level 3 of Day 26 of 30 day shred!  Would you like to see how my dog helps me? None of the pictures of the blue cheese sauce turned out very well – see what I mean? Mushroom Blue Cheese Sauce 1 tsp. oil 3 ounces...
