‘healthy’

Since I knew I was having lunch out yesterday morning, I didn’t want to eat too much, but I knew I needed to eat something.  The kidults are big cereal eaters, so I grabbed a bowl of Honey Comb.  Each serving is 1.5 cups and with 1/2 a cup of unsweetened almond milk, breakfast was only 5 points.  Growing up we only had Wheaties or...

Yep, the queen of maintenance is what you can call me! Up .8 for the week, and up .4 since April 21, so basically the same as when I started going back to WW meetings.  And while I wish the scale was going down, I do know that being aware of what I eat has prevented me from being 200 pounds by now.  This last...

What a gorgeous day of weather we had yesterday!  I can remember so many Memorial Day parades where it was cold, rainy, etc.  My Mom actually walked in the parade we used to ride our bikes in back in the day.  It starts at my old grade school, which I haven’t probably stepped foot into in 30+ years.  I invited her over for a BBQ. ...

Last night I was pondering where I am in my life and how different things are.  Two years ago this past weekend, I was working a second job at Zeal: Tony had already been hospitalized locally three times by May of 2014.   In June, July and August was when we made our treks to Mayo Clinic.  All while holding down a full time job, but...

Last Friday night I shockingly did not make pizza.  I know, I can hardly believe it myself!  But, we ate out the night before and Hannah and I had pizza, so I figured I needed to balance out my pizza love.  Believe it or not, this is a pantry/fridge/freezer meal.  I found a bag of shrimp in my freezer and thawed them earlier in the...

So after three completely different job interviews, I’ve decided to work Farmers Markets this summer.  Right now I am on the schedule for three a week – Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.  The reason I chose this job is because I love the idea of being outdoors working in the summer.  Just remind me when it’s 95 degrees and I am melting.  And second, it will...

I am the firm believer if you have eggs or egg white with any type of protein, it can be considered breakfast food.  Case in point – leftover pulled pork.  Even though it was 8:30 in the morning, it looked so good so I decided to scramble some egg whites, toss in 3 ounces of the pork to heat up, then Pam fry some breakfast...

I guess one of the best things about writing a blog post as often as I do, is that my Mom and my PIL are always apprised as to what I am up to.  I don’t talk to them nearly as often on the phone because they can just read the blog and see what I am up to.  When I wrote on Friday that...

I am happy to say I made it a whole week without going to the grocery store – well, except for coffee creamer, but that’s not too bad!  I relied on my pantry/fridge/freezer and it just goes to show that if you think outside the box you can always come up with good eats with what you have on hand.  It’s just that sometimes, dishes...

For some reason I woke up with an upset stomach.  I got up at 6:30 and stayed up until about 8:30 – it almost felt like I was going to get sick, so I went back to bed and woke up at 10:15!  One of the luxuries of not having a job at the moment, no one to call in sick to!  I felt much...
