‘healthy’

Friday night I had Tony’s nephews and their families over for a BBQ.  It’s been way too long since we’ve been together, and I realize I have to make these get togethers happen, otherwise, the next thing you know we’ll look up and it’s Christmas! These two little cutes were so fun.  Hazel (love her name!) was just an infant the last time I saw...

Premier Protein my friends is your new BFF for Weight Loss.  I get a lot of requests each week to partner with certain products, links to articles, advertising – most of which I just immediately delete after receiving them because I am not going to promote anything that I don’t already use, or think that other people will find value with. I am happy to...

I spent ten minutes yesterday on the train planning my day – journaling always keeps me focused, and if I steer away from it, my healthy vision starts to get blurry. I had another picky plate for breakfast.  Hard boiled egg (2), deli ham (2) and 3/4 ounce Cabot cheese (3) and fruit. My sister is out of the office the rest of this week,...

I think I am going to have to start eating my breakfast on the way to work.  I normally am not hungry right when I get up, and my coffee is fine for the hour train ride to work.  But lately I’ve hit the ground running and yesterday didn’t even heat up my breakfast until nearly 10. [mpprecipe-recipe:2] These spinach waffles are so good.  I...

I actually don’t mind getting a Timehop that stops me in my tracks.  Obviously nearly 99% of all my Timehops are food related because it grabs the memories from Instagram and Facebook.   Yesterday I had two Tony memories: I remember that he called me last minute and wanted to know if I could break away from work and meet him for lunch.  I think this...

I don’t know what it was about Friday, but I was snacky as shit.  I normally don’t have wine in the house anymore, but I had 1/3 of a bottle left from my #livefully  party which was 10 ounces – or basically a point an ounce.  After that it was crazy.  I found myself looking for something to eat like every 15 minutes!  But I...

I finally got a chance to download my pictures from the weekend.  I had such a great time at Kendall College for the high school culinary semi-finals, and saw some of the same people from last year which was nice. The students practiced three separate menus and didn’t know until last Friday morning when they got to the college what menu they would be doing. ...

I wish I could tell you I am feeling 100% better, but not yet.  I take that back – I feel fine, but the cough continues.  My nose is less stuffy, so I am taking that sign that I am making progress.  I was happy that while my workday yesterday was steady busy, it wasn’t crazy busy.  Whew! Breakfast was two of my breakfast biscuits...

This copycat Panera chicken orzo lemon soup is one of my favorite soups of all time.  Sadly the Panera lemon chicken orzo soup is discontinued. My daughter used to work at Panera and I loved Panera’s chicken orzo lemon soup and had dreams of her in the back of the house, chopping up celery, etc. and hopefully I would learn how to make that soup...

I believe I left off yesterday’s post stating that I wasn’t sure how my WI would go after such a big one the week before.  But I knew I had followed the plan, stayed away from my beloved wine, etc.  So I was very happy to see a –1.4 weight loss! That brings me to –5.2 in two weeks (and a total of 8 pounds...
