On Wednesday, we came back from an extended 4th of July holiday and I’m happy that I’ve maintained my weight. Weighed myself this AM @ 137.2 (gave myself a couple of days for sodium water retention to dissipate.) We ate a lot of sugary snacks – ice cream and dessert cakes, but we walked a [...]

Gwyneth Paltrow “My Father’s Daughter” Cookbook Review
I borrowed a copy of Gwyneth Paltrow’s new cookbook “My Father’s Daughter: Delicious, Easy Recipes Celebrating Family & Togetherness” from the library. I was a bit skeptical, not that I wasn’t a fan, but I just figured it was one more celebrity cook book. And in a way, it is “same ole same ole”, but [...]
Bob Harper Biggest Loser TV Commercial for Quaker Oatmeal Squares Cereal
What’s up with Bob Harper endorsing processed cereal? He’s in a new TV ad for Quaker Oatmeal Squares, trying to convince America how wonderful this processed cereal is. I understand that a person needs to make a living, but it’s very disappointing that he would choose such a poor food product to promote. Shame on [...]
Can’t Lose Weight? Check Your Coffee Cup!
I was having trouble understanding why a certain someone in my life (who shall remain nameless…hint hint DH) was having trouble losing more weight, even though he was basically eating the same food as me. Sure, he probably isn’t as diligent as I am, but there still had to be more of a reason. His [...]
Dark Chocolate
Updated: For a list of recommended chocolate brands, check http://www.foodispower.org/chocolatelist.htm. I like taking a bite of plain dark chocolate with a one or two nuts (cashews, pecans, almonds, pistachios), that way I made my own nutty chocolate bar in my mouth. Same with peanut butter. Spread a bit on top of a few dark chocolate [...]
Happy Merry Christmas To All
It was a great Christmas! Just relaxing and hanging out today! Trying to get back to normal eating! I think I’m on sugar overload! LOL Didn’t do too horribly badly eating this weekend. Friday night we were at the inlaws for Christmas Eve, eating comfort foods I eat probably only once a year. Hot dogs [...]
Back from Week Long Vacation – 148 lbs
Came back yesterday from a week long RV/ATV vacation. It was lovely. Lots of nature! Lots of time to just relax and have fun! Taking my mind off everything at home. I didn’t even bring my laptop with me. I did bring the dSLR camera, but I rarely took any photos. My iPhone camera worked [...]
Vacation Again
Vacation! I love them but I know I’ll be bad! There is a scrumptious bakery close by and I know we will be visiting nearly every day! I’ll make sure I work out though. Last weigh in the other day was 147.6 I think.
Whole Wheat (fresh) Apricot Nut Bread
I bought a box of fresh local apricots the other day and I wanted to use them up, along with one overly-ripe lonely banana. Wouldn’t a nice loaf of whole wheat sweet bread would do the trick! So, I googled, and would you believe most of the apricot/banana bread recipes use “dried” apricots. These were [...]
148.6 Phew Post-Vacation!
Phew. We were on a week’s RV camping vacation last week, and I ate some horrible foods! I didn’t know what to expect. Well, okay, yes, I DID expect to come home and weigh myself this AM and be on the heavier side. I was relieved to find out that I’m okay. Phew. I kept [...]
