I decided to only weigh myself once a month, the day to day thing had too many variables.  Maybe I had too much salt, didn’t drink enough water, etc. Well I am down 7 POUNDS since I started this blog a month ago.  Yahoo!  Now I am 163 with a goal weight of 125-130.  AND THE WHITE SOX MADE IT TO THE PLAYOFFS!  Very tight...

It’s my next to last summer beer, but boy, is it good.  I first tried Fat Tire in Austin where my brother and sister-in-law live.  Then I found it when I came back home.  It is a very full bodied beer, so you can only drink one or two.  Well, imagine my surprise when they came out with Skinny Dip, their “light” beer.  It comes...

Sunny and 49 degrees this morning!  Love it!  And the leaves are starting to change. At first Ed didn’t want to have anything to do with me.  He took my spot in bed when I drove my daughter to work.  Eventually he came out, so it was a short walk, maybe 20 minutes?  And no work out at lunch. . .I have a dentist appointment. ...

Okay, when I told my husband that we were having oven fried chicken for dinner, I MAYBE should have told him that it was oven fried chicken BREASTS! I found this recipe online at www.recipezaar.com (Recipe # 82102).  In order to bring down the calories just a bit, I dipped my chicken breasts in 1/3 cup fat free half and half instead of the butter. ...

My husband picked up a message on our answering machine this morning saying that there would be no bus service for school because of a house fire that was on the next street over. I immediately got the dog, grabbed the camera and headed up the street.  As soon as I turned right, and saw the firetrucks at the top of the hill.  I knew...

After coming home, putting the groceries away, chopping up the tomatoes, etc. I decided to make a simple meal tonight.  My daughter LOVES turkey cheddar brats.  They are Johnsonville brand and each one is only 120 calories and 6 grams of fat.  The more charred the better! I cut up one potato, drizzled with a little olive oil and french fry seasoning and oven baked...
