Trying to Live Healthy and Happy
Whoo hoo. My first try at the NY Times (Mark Bittman) No Knead Bread.
My Facebook friends were encouraging me to try this simple recipe, so I did a little bit of research online and I found a blog tutorial from Kaitlyn In the Kitchen, which gave me the inspiration and confidence to try it [...]
Yeah, I have made a few loaves of bread in the bread machine, but my recipes are boring and the bread machine doesn’t seem to be the best way to bake. I have been talking to other bread baking Facebook friends, and I really would love to bake my own bread, even if I use [...]

Even though I consider myself a healthy clean eater, we all need comforting cheat foods.
For example, I like pizza. So, instead of getting a take out thick crust pizza from a nearby restaurant, I make pizza at home. I can satisfy my pizza craving once in awhile, and still try to stay within [...]
Most days, I try to stay 150 – 250 under my total daily calories. Just to give myself some wiggle room, since I am at a higher calorie count, due to lower weight loss goal.
But this morning I found a new podcast to listen to on healthy weight loss, called Fat 2 Fit Radio and [...]
Oh Lord! They have the most wonderful cheesecake on QVC right now! Oh crap, it looks soo soooo good. Oh Lord, it’s times like these that I would love to just throw it all away and just EAT EAT EAT all I want whenever I want!
But nothing tastes as good as fit feels, right!? [...]
I love popcorn, but don’t snack on it very often anymore because of the extra carbs.
But I still regularly look at popcorn bags at the grocery store trying to find a low calorie snack. Most times, the calories are just too high. I mean 6-8 servings per bag!? I am afraid that we’d be [...]
I just calculated my spending amounts for food, comparing the total for dining out and groceries from month’s past to what I am spending now eating healthier. Surprisingly, the totals were fairly equal.
On average, I would spend about $700 to $800 per month for both groceries and dining out. It’s still the same now, but [...]
This wasn’t one of my better weeks. No, it wasn’t horrible, but I feel like my choices haven’t been the best.
First, getting a cold set me back on my workouts. And since I was feeling crappy from Friday to Wednesday, we had a couple take out meals.
The other day, we had Chinese, and while [...]
Interesting. I opened a can of Alaskan Salmon last night for the two dogs and was curious as to how it tasted. So I ate a small bite. Hmm it was actually quite tasty. A lot salty but that can be remedied by purchasing a different brand next time (salt free perhaps)
I ate a [...]
