So Jen’s  giveaway package is on its way and the Season Premiere of Biggest Loser is on now!  So here’s the plan.  On last seasons episode, Jillian made a good point.  In between all the commercials, just do jumping jacks.  In a 2 hour show, we could burn 300 calories!  I’ll see if I can make it – each commercial is about three minutes long! ...

I had a great workout!  Suprisingly, I was the only there and had control of the tv!  Watched the tale end of Rachael Ray (gorgeous scallops with a butter bread crumb topping!) and the first part of Barefoot Contessa (a gorgeous fruit plate, and now I know how to cut a fresh pineapple!). But let’s start with my lunch! 1/2 block of Ramen noodles (noodles...

Now that’s a mouth full!   I made this last night and reheated it this morning when I got to work.  It’s basically: 1/4 cup egg beaters 1/4 cup egg whites 5 spinach leaves, chopped 1/2 ounce volpi salami 1/2 ounce cheddar cheese  two small corn tortillas (two for 100 calories) I used a saute pan that was about the size of my tortillas.  After it...

So my lunch was just okay.  I got these whole wheat pita pockets, the whole one is 140 calories.  But I was UNABLE to get the pockets open!  Ggrrr!  So I ended up making a ham and swiss sandwich out of it, but even with my jalapeno mustard, it was a bit dry.  I ended up throwing out the top half and having an open...

I discoverd that my previous winner does not live in the U.S. or Canada, so shipping wasn’t an option 🙁  She was kind enough to let me know, so therefore I need to pick a new winner!  Random Integer Generator Here are your random numbers: 56 Timestamp: 2009-01-05 21:56:59 UTC Congratulations to Jen!

Okay, so guess who got their butt out of bed at 6:15 a.m. and went to work out this morning – yep – me!  It was pitch black outside, all of 9 degrees and as soon as I stepped foot out of the door, I thought to myself “it’s not too late to go back to bed for another hour!” But I stuck with it!  I ended...

I am adding you to my reader! My goal for Jan 2009 is to lose 5 pounds, drink 8 glasses of water per day, to exercise 3 times per week. Please email me...

If I have any faithful readers, you’ll know that there are two dishes that I routinely try to make, without much success.   One is Chili and the other are scalloped potatoes.  But that doesn’t stop me from having BOTH dishes on my menu this week! So I’ve adapted another Chili recipe from www.eatingwell.com. Ultimate Beef Chili 1 pound beef round, trim all the fat off...

When my sister and I first lost our weight (I lost 70 pounds – and kept that off for 7 years . . .um, 35 pounds may have crept back??!!) – Weight Watchers Zero Point Soup was a staple.  A year ago they came out with a zero point Mexican soup and a zero point Italian soup.  I decided to make a zero point Mexican soup...

Roni at www.greenlitebites.com was the inspiration for this mornings breakfast.  I almost always like savory breakfasts, but felt like something sweet this morning.  I altered my recipe from hers by reducing the amount of cocoa, and adding 1/2 cup of oats (since I didn’t have whole wheat flour) and also added a tablespoon of peanut butter chips!  And I didn’t have blueberries for her sauce...
