I have a pair of black jeans that have been too tight to wear for years. I wore them a couple of weeks ago when all my jeans were in the wash; they fit, but still were a bit too snug. So it’s Halloween night and again, all my jeans were in the laundry. I [...]

Whole Wheat Muffins – Recipe not so disastrous
I admit it, I am not much of a baker. I love to cook, and the reason I love it so much is because when you cook, you don’t need to follow a recipe. You can experiment with ingredients and throw in a little of this and mix in a little of that. With baking, [...]
Didnt know steamed was so delicious
Well we went to our fave Chinese food restaurant tonight. I had a late snack (actually an early dinner) before mike called with the suggestion, so I knew I would have to eat light. I ordered the steamed chicken w/ veggies & brown rice. I was happy when she told me the sauce comes on [...]
Supersize Me
I am now a huge (no pun intended) fan of Morgan Spurlock. His book, Don’t Eat This Book: Fast Food and the Supersizing of America started it all for me! I knew fast food was bad for my health, but I didn’t really realize how bad until I took a real close look at the [...]
Weigh In – 181 lbs!
Hurray! Weighed myself on both scales. Either 181 or 180 depending on the scale. Awesome! So, that’s a 19 or 20 lb weight loss! I’ll take it! (Old scale reads 180 and new digital reads 181 – strange, it was usually the older scale that was higher!) My husband, Mike is also down too. 223 [...]
Breakfast With Parents
I met my parents for breakfast yesterday. I did good! I ordered one pancake and one ham steak. I asked for no butter, but they slapped a big hunk on the pancake anyway, which I dutifully scraped off later. I surprised even myself, and didn’t need any syrup! I put the ham on top of [...]
Weigh In 2009-10-17
It looks like I am down at least 2 more pounds. It’s confusing, as the older scale seems to be messed up and it usually shows 2-4 lbs more than our new digital scale. Yeah, I know digital scales are messed up and not always accurate either, and that’s why I am being conservative with [...]
This is Too Easy, no?
Well, I weighed myself on both scales just now. The new digital scale is off about a pound to the older one, but either way, I am down another 2-3 pounds! Something must be wrong! How can the weight be coming off so easily? I am scared it’s just a temporary thing and the next [...]
Down 2.4 lbs!
Hurray! Down another 2.4 lbs. (officially calling it 2) We bought a new Taylor digital bathroom scale at Kmart yesterday. Nothing fancy, with no extra fat percentage or user features. Just a plain ole digital scale that weighs your body. ;) I was excited to get on the scale this AM (in hubby’s bathroom downstairs) [...]
My Ring Came Off!
My wedding ring has been squished on my finger for YEARS! The bottom part of my finger was indented from the pressure of the tight ring, and I couldn’t get the ring to go over my knuckle, even with soap. Well, for the last week or so, my ring has been annoyingly twisting around on [...]
