I snuggled with Tony!

The bed was big enough and I could lay next to him – his leg is really elevated, so it made it interesting for me to get out of bed because I am so short but it was so nice to snuggle!  One of our family rituals is to watch Wheel of Fortune.  He was dozing in and out and I thought “aha!  this my...

There is no way . . .

that my sugar free latte this morning was sugar free!  I finished drinking my coffee and having breakfast by 8:15 this morning.  I was moving boxes and files at work and around noon I thought to myself “I should test my blood sugar its probably getting pretty low.”  NOT!  I am going to send an email to them this weekend.  The difference between the SF...

So glad it’s Friday!

So I can see Tony today!!   Two days without him is just too long if you ask me!  Plus, he needs me.  The doctors made rounds this morning – his wound isn’t healing as quickly as hoped, he’s propped in a weird position and put on bed rest at least through the weekend.  🙁 In the back of our minds we both knew this could...

BSI – Eggs!

Mark at Training Fuel chose this weeks BSI – EGGS!  I loved his choice because you can go in so many different directions with this!  From cakes, muffins, omelets, quiches – its limitless!  But the first thing I had to do was put the hashbrowns on!  Here’s how I do my hashbrowns.  Dice potatoes and put in a wide skillet.  Cook with Pam for just...

Chopped Taco Salad with Salsa Verde Dressing

I am in heaven:  I think what makes me so happy about this salad is the dressing.  So simple too!  I used 4 tablespoons of hot salsa verde sauce and mixed it with 2 tablespoons of fat free ranch dressing – so 6 tablespoons of dressing (which is a lot!) comes in at just 40 calories! 2 cups romaine 1 cup red cabbage red pepper...

Hot and Sweet

That is how I described my breakfast this morning!  My good old egg sammie was half of my breakfast with the last slice of my hot pepper cheese – note to self – buy more! I still had strawberries left so I decided to make the other half of my english muffin a strawberry waffle.  I sliced 4 strawberries and laid them on top of...

Jillian Kicks Butt (well, my butt anyway!)

On Monday my co-worker asked when I was going to do the Jillian 30 shred dvd again, and since I was out with Tony yesterday, I told her today.  I emailed her and she said she wasn’t feeling well and she’d do it with my for another time. My first thought “cool, I can read blogs for a whole hour at lunch!”  But later on...

Hospital Food

Since we had packed for the hospital then night before, when the alarm went off at 4:30, we were up dressed and in the car by 4:47!  Let’s just say the traffic to downtown Chicago is a BREEZE that time in the morning!  We actually made it to the hospital by 5:45!  So we went to valet the car, and they valey doesn’t “open” until...

We Have a Knee Replacement!

Thank you so much for all your well wishes!   It must have worked because they replaced Tony’s knee and all went well.  And I know Tony will look forward to seeing your comments when he can!! It was a long day though – we were up at 4:30 and I just got home now and it’s 9:00 p.m.!  Going to catch up with Hannah and...
