‘dinner’

  Let’s go back in time for a bit, shall we?  Maybe 25 years ago, I ate TWO apple fritters on the way to work.  Then I would get a frappuccino with my co-workers when I got to work.  That would be 41 points right there and it wouldn’t even be 10:00 a.m.! Lunch would be Sbarro – it was right by my old office...

After I put this ricotta toast together, I had to stop by a co-workers desk to talk to her about something.  Her first response was “what is that?”  I explained what it was and she said “I love ricotta cheese!”  I brought extra today so I can have her taste how good this is.  But her second question was “where did you buy that?!”  So...

I didn’t really meal plan a full week and nothing I had appealed to me at all.  So I just said “fuck it” and decided to buy my food yesterday. If you guys have a Freshii near you – get this huevos bowl.  I always ask for the salsa and spicy bbq sauce on the side.  I pick out the tomatoes from the salsa (and...

Congrats to my friend Nicole of Prevention RD for coming out with another cookbook – The Easy Heart Healthy Cookbook for Sow Cookers:  130 Prep-and-Go Low-Sodium Recipes which includes th e Italian Bolognese Sauce I made below. You can check it out here. Long time readers may remember, but Nicole and I went to the same high school.  Ahem, I may have graduated about 18...

Next time you are at the grocery store, buy Bolthouse Farms dressing to make this bang bang shrimp surf and turf. I picked up a loaf of the 35 calorie bread from Aldi last weekend.  While I love that each slice is only 1 point, it doesn’t make the best toast – a bit too flimsy for these toppings – note to self, spend the...

If I had worn my fitbit the last four days before yesterday, I may have walked 500 steps a day.  If that.  While I am still not 100%, I knew I had to get to work – one day away from work means two days to catch up.  Hannah was my Uber yesterday and she took this picture of me from across the train station. ...

This is going to be a super quick post – I forgot to plug in my laptop last night (damn glass of wine!) and I have 16% battery 😛   Yesterday I had more Elvis Waffles, although I am not sure that post is looking right – I did a draft on my phone and then finished on my laptop – people commented on the post...

I hardly ever am hungry right when I get up.  I think its because I am used to eating breakfast at my desk a couple hours after I wake up.  But yesterday?  Hungry!  I ate half of this Premier Protein bar, and that hit the spot.  It’s 4 points for half and to me it tastes like a Snickers bar.   As most of you...

I got up early yesterday to make sure I had a decent breakfast to start my day off on the right foot.  Just a simple egg white omelette with ham, spinach and cheese (6) with fresh fruit.  I cooked the omelette while I was in the shower.  I just pour the ham and egg whites in a skillet with a lid, turn it on low,...

I knew I would be up this week.  Mainly because after such a big loss last week, I got cocky, thinking I can have another bite of this, or another glass of wine.  That thinking and eating caught up with me, but I am happy to say I am still in the 150s by the hair on my chin! Huh, and I just realized that...
