Carb loaded and sleepy
Now that I am really paying attention to what I eat and when I eat it I have realized that I get a nasty salt craving in mid afternoon. So then I eat some fat free pretzels or reduced fat triscuits or similar crunchy, salty stuff. My problem is that during the past week or so I feel so tired after the carbs. I mean really,…

What does your screen name stand for?
Okay, the answer is obvious for some folks who use their real name as their sign in name (or is it your real name?). But what about the not-so-obvious names? How did you come up with your name - what does it mean for you? I'm so curious I wonder what all these interesting screen names stand for... Mine is pretty obvious.…

Fake but Fun Fondue!!
Tonight my husband made fondue with a new twist. Instead of oil for the meat or fish, he used chicken broth to make it healthier. It worked out pretty well. Next time we are going to marinate the meat in a variety of sauces before we fondue and I think that would add a lot to it. But it was fun to fondue and not have all…

Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
I made these last weekend and my office and husband thought they were great (I did too and now I am craving some). The calories seem high, but that is based on if you had only 12 slices out of a 13x9 pan. Those are huge pieces! I had about double that many servings. Ingredients Crust: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (6 3/4…

Green Mill - low cal pizza
If any of you have a Green Mill around and want a great pizza that is low calorie (290 for 1/2 the pizza) try there Low Cal Chicken Pizza. That's what I had last night for dinner and it was awesome.

Struggling....
Okay - this is not a typical post from me. I know I can get myself on track, but I have to vent a bit to be real about what just happened, clear out this bad energy and move on. So here goes..... I have had a really bad two week stretch. I pulled a glute muscle, can't run and even walking is a bit tough. But I have been…

Sweating it out????
Okay, so I see people at the gym or out running/walking that have scarfs, hats, sweatsuits on etc. and they are roasting. They say that sweating hard helps them lose weight. Is this true? Or are they just losing water weight. Just curious.....

Hey - It's working!
Okay, I started 4 weeks ago at 158. I always promised myself that I would never weigh more than 150. But of course by the time I got around to doing anything, I was at 158. Today, I weighed in at 149.4 - - - - Yeah!!!!! It's the first time in almost 2 years that I have weighed less than 150 (even though I'm just a little…
