Okay, quick post, my lunch break is almost over! I did the Jillian workout today in record time – 35 minutes!  I only stopped once in between the circuits.  I considered it my last chance workout since Biggest Loser is on tonight!  Then I did 5 solid minutes of stretching – it feels great! I brought a southwest seasoned chicken breast that was stuffed with...

It’s so hard to get up when its still dark outside, but by the time I took Ed on his 1/2 hour walk this morning, the blanket of clouds lifted and its a beautiful sunny day!  And it felt like fall again this morning – about 50 degrees.  When I got back from our walk, I made dinner in the crock pot – pot roast/potatoes/carrots. ...

They had ham on sale, so I decided to go for it.  Again, I attempted scalloped potatoes, the bane of my existence!  Since Hannah was home I had her put the ham in at 1:00 and then put the scalloped potatoes in at 3:30.   Why I keep trying to make scalloped potatoes, I’ll never know! Well, just before 5:00, Hannah calls me and says that...

I have exactly 7 minutes left on my lunch break!  Type fast, type fast! Lunch 3 ounces raw shrimp 1 cup broccoli slaw 1 cup broccoli/cabbage/carrot mix 1 cup bean sprouts 1/2 package ramen noodles (just noodles, not packet) I had it with Pomegranate green tea – yum! Today’s workout I did sprints on the treadmill (while watching Rachael Ray make blue cheese stuffed meatballs!):...

I got to sleep in because there’s no school today.   I suppose I could have walked the dog, or gone to the fitness center, but I was so comfy I didn’t budge! Breakfast: 1/3 cup oats 1/3 2% milk 1/3 water 2 ounce banana 1 tablespoon Planter’s Trail Mix coffee Off to work . . .see you at lunch!

Hannah and I went out and about so ended up having a late lunch – more homemade pizza!  See I told you I like eating the same things over and over! I decided not to make zucchini bread today, with temps in the 80’s, I didn’t want to have the oven on in the afternoon.  But, I decided to make a new soup!  My inspiration...

On my short walk with Ed this morning, at one point, this one tree was dropping all its leaves at once!  I tried to capture it, but this is as close as I got: I saw about three boats go by – with temps around 80 today, I imagine the river will get pretty busy today. Hannah ran to the store this morning for eggs...

I saw on www.zestycook.com his method for making ribs, and although I used my own rub and K.C. Masterpiece bbq sauce (sorry Zesty!), the results were great.  Please go to his site and check it out – slow and steady wins the race! BBQ rub before going in 250 degree oven for 90 minutes: Then after 90 minutes, I applied the bbq sauce and continued...

So today I have been in cleaning mode, just running around vacuuming, laundry, etc.  My breakfast was pretty low carb, about 18, so I only took three units of insulin. But all of a sudden, as I am putting laundry in the dryer, my vision starts to fade to black and I start sweating.  Sure sign of low blood sugar!  I came upstairs, took a test,...

It is SO NICE outside today!  They are saying that tomorrow for the Chicago marathon that temperatures could get into the mid 80s!  Not ideal marathon running temps (like I would know)! I just remember a couple years ago my sister ran the marathon.  She had her cell phone so she could call and let us know where she was.  We had missed her at...
