For breakfast I had a chocolate peanut butter smoothie minus the banana, lunch was a cheeseburger on a bagel thin with ketchup, a Lucky Four-Leaf Salad with feta and apples and snack of sugar free chocolate pudding with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter,

Another Late Night Binge

Why do I do this to myself? I was out late and feeling very hungry. So instead of going to bed I stopped at Burger King and got a Medium Oreo Sundae Milkshake, a Rodeo Burger and a $1 Onion Rings.Yeah, I really did eat all of that at 10pm as a late night snack. I was just going to get ice cream but then a burger and onion rings sounded so good. Somehow I convinced myself that it was okay to do

I Need Popcorn!

I was just thinking that I don't eat popcorn anymore. Mainly because my favorite is cheese popcorn and we all know how healthy that is. For some reason I have been really hungry for some good popcorn but I don't remember ever finding a good low fat popcorn before.**********Great News!

My sister, Kristin, told me today that she is sick of seeing me going down to the 160's and then back into the 170's. She told me I need to stop going back up to the 170's. So this one is for you Kristin!As of today I am out of the 170's for the last time. From now on it's all downhill for me. When I weighed in this morning I weighed 169.4!

Temptation At A Baby Shower

It's been a year and a half of eating healthy and I still can't resist the temptation of a baby shower. This stinks! I really need to have more will power. Either that or get out of bed in time to eat breakfast before the shower. I am realizing that I am getting to old to stay up until almost 4 in the morning. It messes me up for the rest of the day.I had a very nice time at my cousin's baby

I Need Some Sleep

Last night my friends and I went to the Drive-In and didn't get home until 3am. I am blessed to have an awesome husband that let me sleep in until 10:30am. Unfortunately after a day like yesterday I think I still needed a few more hours to sleep.I had such a crazy day I will be lucky if I can remember what I ate. We started the day off with a picnic at the park with my Mom's group and after

These Ice Cream Cravings Need To Stop!

Yesterday was a busy, busy day. I cleaned, cooked, swam, shopped and more cleaning. I was actually out a walmart until 1opm with my mom and then we had this bright idea to go for ice cream.

And The Number Is ... Week 80 Weigh In

I am so excited about today's weigh but first let me tell you the biggest reason why I am so excited. Last night when I went to bed my Fibromyalgia was so bad that I felt like I was laying on rocks. I prayed and prayed and prayed to God for some relief and then eventually fell asleep. I woke up some time in the middle of the night to realize that I had absolutely no pain at all. I actually

Funny Story And Update

Today was an interesting one. I woke up and was barely able to get out of bed. I tried my best but ended up missing my Border Collie's grooming appointment because I just could not make it out the door. After getting myself and the girls dressed, fed and ready to go I new that I didn't have the energy to get them and the dog out of the house and to the groomer. I was so upset because he

Today's Plateau Update

The day definitely started out bad. At 1:30 this morning my daughter was up with a belly ache. Of course I was so tired, miserable and hungry that I grabbed the cheap cookies that normally don't even tempt me. I ate 8 of them and then felt disgusting so I stopped. It was not a good way to start off my day.Then I spent most of the day with friends at my sister's house. We had a cookout and

Sorry guys! I just realized that I never posted my weigh in for last week. I wish I could tell you more about how I did last week but it was just to crazy to remember.

It was just a crazy, crazy week.When I weighed in on Thursday the scale said 172.8 pounds.

Wanchai Ferry Review And Giveaway!!!

Wanchai Ferry sent me one of their new frozen Asian entrees to try. I chose the Beef and Broccolli entree. Of course I was skeptical as I am of all frozen meals. When I opened up the bag I was happy to see that it wasn't just beef and broccoli. It also had red peppers, water chestnuts (one of my favorites), rice and a nice thick brown sauce.I was very impressed with how easy this meal was to cook

And The Number Is ... Week 78 Weigh In

This week has been a very different type of week for me. My husband has been home on vacation all week and we didn't go away. We just did a few day trips. It has been great and has saved us a ton of money. It is just really hard to adjust to having him home for a week for the first time since we were married. Usually when he is on vacation we go away somewhere. It was really nice having him home
