Last night, hubby and I grilled some chicken and corn on the cob for dinner. It was the best meal I’ve had in a LONG time! We used the Jack Daniels Spicy BBQ sauce on the chicken. As hubby said “I think this was better than the Chinese we had yesterday!” and I agreed. That’ll [...]
So I feel like the scale gods have given me a second chance! I finally got the courage to step on the scale this morning - 194.0! I didn’t gain anything! This is truly a miracle. I was prepared to see a few lbs gained, but hey, I’ll take this. To top it off, today [...]

There’s a lot for me to catch up on!
My birthday was good and bad. DH and I had a great time on Friday - I had the baseball cut new york steak (seasoned with an olive oil/italian herb crust). I think we did ok - steak, a shared salad, and just one amaretto sour. Either [...]
