I made an amazing meatless tomato sauce with pasta last night for dinner. I usually don’t like my meatless tomato sauce, but it turned out rich and flavorful. I guess I am becoming a better home cook. LOL Anyway, I sauted an onion in a hot pan with some olive oil and some salt, pepper, [...]

Weigh In After Holidays!
Whoo hoo, I weighed in this AM. 171 lbs! yay. I feel healthy and good this morning. Yesterday, I was feeling a little full from the holiday feast! It feels great not to have gained any pounds. Not that I was worried, I don’t think I did bad enough to gain (it could have been [...]
Christmas 2009 Woes and Joys
Yeah, I didn’t do such a wonderful job on my food choices during the holiday, but it’s okay. I am back on track today (Saturday, Dec 26) and will continue to stay on track! It was a bit scary, because I got a wake up call. It’s so easy for me to revert back to [...]
172 lbs & Changed My Calories/Goals
I have been hovering around the 172, 171 mark for a few days now. But still hanging on. I had a semi-bad day last Friday night when we had family over for a birthday party for 2 people. I ate ham, meatballs, and a little piece of cake. I did go a tad overboard on [...]
Coleman Natural Polish Kielbasa
We ate Coleman natural polish kielbasa tonight. It was the “red” kind of kielbasa similar to hillshire farms. http://www.colemannatural.com/component/option,com_resource/Itemid,9/article,877/category_id,2/controller,article/ It didn’t taste as spicy as hillshire but it was pretty good. I would have it again. It’s still not food to have every night because it is loaded with sodium, but for a treat it [...]
Homemade Bread
Dragged out the old Breadman breadmaker from storage and made some homemade light whole wheat bread. I used 1 cup whole wheat and 2 cups regular all purpose white wheat flour. It was okay for a first try but the top kind of squished in and I read somewhere that it was due to lack [...]
171 pounds
I thought I had hit a weight loss wall and seemed to be stuck at the 174, 173 range. It was okay, I wasn’t complaining. I figured that my body would let me know my optimum comfortable weight. So I let go of losing weight and tried to accept it. I reset my MyFitnessPal “goals” [...]
The Eat Clean Diet Cookbook Review
I received a copy of the The Eat-Clean Diet Cookbook: Great-Tasting Recipes That Keep You Lean by Tosca Reno from the library. It boasts over 150 recipes, and it’s very well written with beautiful full color photographs. Although the recipes looked and sounded pretty delicious, I don’t think it would be a book that I [...]
