1 tablet = 15 calories, 0 fat, 4 carbs Before I found these glucose tabs (.99 at the drug store), I had to bring a granola bar whenever I worked out.  I’d be cruising along on the elliptical machine when all of a sudden my eyes would start getting black spots, I sweat PROFUSELY (its gross, trust me!) and then in order to keep going, I’d have...

I love all types of Mexican food.  If given the choice, I think my daughter and I could have tacos, nachos, etc. every night for dinner. I kind of just went through my fridge this morning trying to figure out lunch.  I put this together at work, and pan fried in Pam for a couple minutes each side.  I lost some of the ingredients during...

Another pretty day, but it won’t last – supposed to be a rainy weekend so I’ll enjoy it today! No morning exercise since I am going to the fitness center with my daughter after dinner tonight. 1/2 cup egg beaters 2 ounce whole grain bagel 1 ounce turkey bacon 1/2 ounce sharp cheddar cheese 4 Italian plums 365 calories, 10 fat, 32 carbs, 2.6 fiber,...

That circuit was hard, but I did it in exactly 45 minutes.  Even had time to heat up my lunch before getting back to work. Thankfully, the gym was empty, so I didn’t have to be too self-conscious.  However, the jump rope thing, although in my head I thought I looked like this: It really looked like this: Lunch: 3 ounces leftover chicken breast 6.5...

Another beautiful day, but started chilly – 45 degrees!  I still love it though. I made coffee in the french press since it was just for me.  Tried a new creamer and I actually like it better because it is just slightly sweet. I am training for a 5K and doing the “couch to 5K” program.  This morning I did 5 minute warm up and...

As I was filing at work today, I looked out my window, only to be freaked out, because for a second I thought this bug was on the INSIDE of the window!  Luckily for me, it was outside! About a week ago, my daughter and I got a Greek chicken salad at of all places was A GYROS, ITALIAN BEEF STAND!  Yes, we got past...

Here’s what it looked like when I left my house this morning – beautiful! My blood sugar was 66 when I got up, so I had an ounce of puffins with 2 ounces of skim milk.  I didn’t take insulin and everything worked out great.  Post workout it was 103 – yeah! EXERCISE:  I did 35 minute bike ride (about 7 miles) and 10 minutes...

I LIKED THE MAHI MAHI!  It didn’t taste fishy at all.  There seemed to be a lot of oil in the package, so I just brushed a little on the top before I flipped it.  Decided to skip the salad and made parmesan zucchini rounds with rice.  Simple Monday dinner!   EXERCISE:  yes!  40 minutes elliptical, 5 minute abs BS: before workout 101.  Ate 15...

The weekend was so beautiful, I am glad the weather cooperated and is rainy on a work day! I went to Trader Joe’s this weekend and found these granola bars: They taste just like girl scout peanut butter cookies!  I added half of one bar to my oatmeal this morning and it was awesome – half is only 95 calories, 2 fat/13 carbs. I am...
