I had the last square of my Green Monster casserole left for breakfast yesterday, but I decided to switch it up – the store brand of tortillas I buy says 16 chips are one serving for 140 calories, I ended up using 8 chips and then after i heated the casserole, I cut it into 8 pieces, topped the egg on the chip and sprinkled...

Happy Friday!  Here a few questions readers had to ask Tony, with his answers. Without further adieu: Helen wants to know “Tony: How do you feel about Biz giving up her wine? I’m asking because I assume you have not given up your cocktails!” I am always very impressed when Biz puts her mind to something. I am very proud of her and support her...

I love having leftovers of roasts – they are great to dice up in morning hashes and tonight we’ll be having roast beef sandwiches (and broccoli soup).  Shhhhh.  Don’t tell Tony about the broccoli soup. Yesterday I made a breakfast hash of 3 ounces diced up leftover roast from Saturday night, baby spinach, 2 eggs, egg whites and 2/3 cup of canned sliced potatoes.  I...

I was a bit nervous with this second round of Dietbet.  The first month I lost 8.2 pounds – every week I got on the scale and it gave me some love back.  I continued on with the second month of Insanity, and then starting on my second round of the 60 day program. These last 30 days I ran, I PR’d a 5k and...

I really can’t remember the last time I didn’t have a glass of wine or beer on a Friday night.   And you know what?  I feel great about it!  It’s kind of funny because back when I was really heavy, one thing I really loved was coffee creamer.  In fact my favorite was International Delights Irish Cream.  Of course I was trying to lose weight,...

I’ve worked really hard this last month and now it comes down to the final weekend for me to lose 1.7 pounds by Sunday for my DietBet.  But you know what?  I got this.  I haven’t been this on track for a long time and you know what?  It feels good.  It feels good to be in control and not the food get control of...

I kinda hate oversleeping.  I can’t really remember the last time I did it!  Since I was starting this team beach body diet this week, and since I went out last night, I didn’t have time to prep my food last night, so it had to get done this morning. I adjusted my food yesterday because for one, I was only doing Insanity at lunch...

I woke up this morning and immediately had to grab my sweater and slippers.  I had the windows open in my back room where our computer is – had to shut those – its 52 degrees this morning!   Our summer weather has been so weird.  We’ll probably have 80 degree days in October! Tony and I went out with friends on Saturday night.  To a...

Wow.  Day 60 of Insanity.  Truth be told, I never thought I would get this far.  I am the QUEEN of declaring something, starting out strong and then just giving up.  For a variety of reasons: I am tired it takes too much time its too hard What helped me was that I declared 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. the Insanity hour.  I didn’t have to...

My friend Kelly posted this on Facebook yesterday, and it is so true. It reminded me of when I worked at a bar, and one of the regular customers was talking about becoming a nurse.  But she was 27, she’d already graduated from college and wasn’t working in a field that had anything to do with her degree.  She started talking about nursing and her...
