Every day . . . make a choice.

Every day . . . make a choice.
I woke up yesterday morning to the sound of rain drops outside my bedroom window.  I love having my window open pretty much all the time in the spring and summer.  I have a down comforter on my bed and it’s super chilly in the room, but I am toasty poasty.  I gave into the fact that it’s raining and I probably wouldn’t be able...

DietBet Week 3 WI and Chipotle BBQ Sauce

DietBet Week 3 WI and Chipotle BBQ Sauce
Saturday I woke up and I felt . . .smaller.  I know it sounds weird, but I just decided to jump on my Zero scale and see where I was at – I normally WI on Sunday’s but figured a day wouldn’t make that much of a difference. I started out at 175.4 – I am only 7.9 pounds away from the 150s!  And if...

Nachos on Napkins

Nachos on Napkins
You may know by now that I puffy heart Chobani.  Like a lot.  It has just the right amount of tang, and I always buy the plain when I make a parfait so that the fruit and the granola balance with the yogurt and it’s not overly sweet.  But, I have to say, I am frugal when it comes to the grocery store, and my...

There was an onion in my house.

There was an onion in my house.
I have to make this a super quick post – it’s really stormy this morning,  and I probably shouldn’t even have the computer on – gah! It was a bit chilly and overcast yesterday, but a nice quick 20 minute walk before work woke me up. I made another batch of my overnight cottage cheese pancakes, except this time subbed in a whole chopped apple...

Nice legs! And turkey AND beef chili.

Nice legs! And turkey AND beef chili.
I wasn’t sure how long my MRI results were going to last yesterday morning, so I snuck in a quick 20 minute walk before work.  My knee hurt a little bit the first few minutes, but then it was fine.  Um, note my pajama pants (coffee stains and all – ha!).  It was pretty windy and about 34 degrees when I left. With my leftover...

Almost starting to look like spring!

Almost starting to look like spring!
Although it didn’t feel like it when I left for my walk before work: The river looked really pretty, love when it’s still like this.  Too bad we couldn’t have afforded a house on the river, but I am glad that we are close enough to it so we don’t have to hear the noise of boats and jet skis – it can get really...

DietBet WI #2 and Tomatillo Cucumber Salsa

DietBet WI #2 and Tomatillo Cucumber Salsa
I usually bring my cell phone into the bedroom with me every night.  I don’t know why, but it’s a habit I picked up from Tony.  He always had the house phone and his cell phone on his night stand every night just in case.  So yesterday morning, I hear a beep on my phone.  I pick it up and it’s my Timehop for the...

It’s The Weekend For Me!

It’s The Weekend For Me!
My office is closed for Good Friday, so I got to sleep in – I just woke up at it’s 8:15 – nice!  My sister has to work, but I am going downtown to meet her for lunch to finally celebrate our birthday which was last month.  I can’t even remember the last time I went to Chicago – maybe last year when I went...

Beef and Zucchini Meatball Sub

Beef and Zucchini Meatball Sub
The weather was only 32 degrees when I started my walk yesterday morning, but we had I high of 73 yesterday and it was glorious!  Sadly, it didn’t last long as today, is cool and rainy, but just feeling a glimpse of spring is hopeful!  I only got 20 minutes in, but that was better than being on Facebook for 20 minutes! I ended up...

Leftover Chili Zucchini Lasagna

Leftover Chili Zucchini Lasagna
It was 34 degrees when I left on my walk before work.  Although this time of year while it starts out chili it does usually warm up to the 50s, but still – I want it to start out in the 50s and end at a perfect 75!  You know what is a great part about living in the sticks?  You can take your morning...
