I think one of the first things you do after you’ve dated someone for a good length of time is to get out old photo albums and show them pictures of yourself growing up.  Luckily for Tony, my Dad was an avid photographer and videographer.  Although to this day I can’t get anyone to watch my field hockey games – any takers on that one?...

When I was cleaning out the refrigerator over the weekend, I totally forgot that I had a package of wontons that hadn’t been opened yet.  I got my muffin pan out and made some wonton cups just to have on hand.  You simply bake them at 350 for 6-8 minutes, until they get golden brown. Yesterday was breakfast wonton cups – egg whites scrambled with...

I am loving that I haven’t had to think about breakfast by making a breakfast casserole over the weekend – this time I paired it up with some strawberries and oranges. Guess what?  I went walking at lunch yesterday!  Yep, 50 minutes and it was glorious – probably 60-65 degrees, partly sunny – it felt so good! Lunch was chicken noodle soup and a sammie...

It was stormy off and on all day yesterday so we kept our computer off all day – it was kind of nice to be off line for the day! So here was my weekend in pictures:  Saturday breakfast – scrambled eggs with sausage on dark rye bread. I got to mow the lawn!  I think it’s only the third time I’ve mowed our lawn...

I don’t know what it was about last week, but I ate so many unplanned snacks, and that’s totally not like me.  I usually have meals in the 500 calories range so I don’t snack – because every time I eat I have to take a shot of insulin.  I have discovered something though – if I am bored at work, that’s the worst for...

The facts of life. . . the facts of life!  I actually quite enjoyed The Facts of Life when I was younger.  So the good news?  Tony’s wound vac was removed!! And the bad news?  The truck he is standing behind wouldn’t start for him, so I had to come home from work and pick him up from his doctor appointment.  I had already scheduled...

Can I just say that I was hoping you wouldn’t notice that my big fan fare announcement April 1st was operation bad ass kind of lost steam towards the end of the month? Well after receiving the 14th email from blog readers asking me how the month went, the answer is simple.  I stayed exactly the same.  Which in and of itself is not a...

I am so excited because I got an email from Chobani that they are sending me some more yogurt – I should have it next week, so you better believe that the breakfast parfaits will be a common breakfast!  I have to say I think one of my favorite combos is strawberry and banana with the plain yogurt – I thought I had granola in...

Tony was flipping channels last week and texted me something like “a taco shell made of bacon filled with potato and cheese.”   He was watching a show about a food truck that sells only bacon centric foods.  www.getyourlardon.com. Since Tony is my muse most of the time in the kitchen, I decided to make hashbrown egg cups.  I did a quick google search and took...

I’ve had such a lazy morning!  I didn’t wake up until 9:15 this morning, and seriously could have spent the whole morning in bed just watching movies.  It’s chilly out, rainy.  But the last WW meeting was at 10:00 this morning so I got my ass moving. Yep – up .2.  I’ve been hovering around 165 for weeks now.  I keep saying I need to...
