‘weight watchers’

At long last I am finally posting Jacob’s Chicken Lime Soup – or what we call affectionately call it – Jacob’s Zesty Soup. Jacob is a cook much like Tony was – he just throw ingredients together, tastes as he goes and adjusts accordingly.  In order to get an actual recipe, Hannah wrote down what Jacob did, when he did it, so while there are...

This buffalo shrimp and grits recipe is quick, easy and delicious! I won’t mind at all that this will be my breakfast three days this week.  I love the everything but the bagel seasoning on the baked potatoes.  I think next time I make this though, I’ll add some protein, this didn’t stick with me until lunch.  Six smart points if you are doing #backto30,...

I slept in until 9:15 on Saturday morning.  That like never happens to me anymore. I am usually up at 7:00 at the latest without an alarm on the weekend.  But my cough is still lingering – I know its acute bronchitis and other than drinking lots of fluids and resting, not much you can do but let it run it’s course. I “unofficially” weighed...

  I have received several comments telling me that I should stop worrying about my weight, and if I am happy with my life, why don’t I just focus on the positives.  Which I do, but I know I will feel better at least 25 pounds less – then I can happily maintain that weight. Since being back “on” Tuesday, I didn’t know what my...

I didn’t bring any food to work yesterday.  I know, crazy?!  But the beauty of working in Chicago is that I have plenty of options for food.  Freshii is located in the lobby of my building.  This is their huevos bowl – shredded kale (it’s on the bottom) eggs, seasoned black beans, cheese, avocado with salsa and a spicy bbq sauce.  I will suggest that...

Hannah is still working on what I like to call now “Biz’s Kitchen Intervention.”  She’s whittled all my spices, dishes, pots, pans, cooking appliances, silverware, knives down to such a small amount, when I went to look for a skillet to cook an egg yesterday, I couldn’t find a single one.  Oh, because she’s decided that my bigger pots/pans/skillets belong in the pantry.  Huh. One...

I was so confident going into Saturday’s weigh in.  Two weeks before I had a 3 pound loss, followed by a .2 loss, so I was expecting the scale to catch up with me on Saturday.  Um, have you seen my tracker?!  So many blue dots! So I was a bit shocked that I again lost only .2.  Huh.  I was disappointed for a second,...

It started out rainy, but warm #win!  By the time I got downtown, it stopped raining and it was near 50 degrees.  The river was still partially frozen, but it was a glimpse of spring and it was a glorious walk to my office from the train station. These muffins.  OMG.  I am posting the recipe for these tomorrow, but they taste like a potato...

I am loving that eggs and chicken are “free” on the new Weight Watchers plan, but after having hard boiled eggs a lot on my picky plate breakfasts, I was kind of getting bored with them.  I need to make some kicked up deviled eggs or something like that so they aren’t so plain. 8/10 I am usually in the mood for a savory breakfast...

The signs were all there.  Searching for a “looser” pair of underwear in the morning, sifting through your jammies drawer for the extra stretchy pants.  I haven’t worked out in I don’t know how long, the wine has been a staple on my kitchen counter, and those extra licks and tastes (and gummies!) added up. I didn’t weigh in on Saturday because I was downtown,...
