Pulled up calorie intake from a nose dive yesterday, and found it not too difficult to do. DS wasn’t home for dinner and DH was in the mood for a Marie Callandar Chix. Pot Pie which BTW, has a ridiculous amount of calories in it. At first I read 500 and something calories ~ upon [...]

I want to put my hands around this birds neck and squeeeeze… ”Bawwwwk!”
This morning while sitting with DS at breakfast, I mindlessly ate four freakin’ fistfuls of Cocoa Puffs. Finally did what I should have done in the first place: tucked the flap and put ‘em away in the cabinet.
So calorie-wise I am pretty much at [...]

At what age did you stop eating ice and snow?
Yesterday I watched 13 yr. old DS carefully lift the top layer of ice off the ground and take a big bite out of it ~ like a slice of pizza. He helped me de-snow and ice the car and made it fun instead of a [...]

Two pounds down from my Holiday High of 170. I mentally girded my loins and measured my ah, figure. Now I have start stats for this newest journey. I don’t even bother to measure my bust ~ it’s that 35″ waist and 40.75″ butt that concerns me. My neck even gain weight: from 13.5 to [...]

Made two suppers tonight. Yep. One went in the trash and the other on the table. DS called as he and DH were coming home from his basketball game: “Mom, are you cookin’?” “Why yes,” I replied “~ your favorite Chicken ‘n’ Stove Top Stuffing Casserole.” There were sounds of dismay from the other end [...]

Beware chickies! It’s Girl Scout cookie time. There they were, the little cuties, with their carefully stacked selections of cookies set up on folding tables at the mall yesterday, and their Mommas hanging watchfully in the background. The teeniest scout of them all came up to me and said in an earnest wee voice, “wouldyouliketobuysomeGirlScoutcookies?” [...]

Back to back parties on Friday and Saturday. I was mindful of food Friday night, but last night we had DB & SIL for dinner and I made Seafood Gratin, from Ina Garten’s recipes on The Food Network ~ it turned out great ~ plus a family favorite cheesecake which is always good. It’s an interesting [...]

will Son ever make a basket?
Basketball, that is. I missed DS’s game today but DH said he played well even though the team lost.
DH: “You should have seen your son! It was down to the last three seconds and he’s under the basket–Benny passes him the ball and he goes up to shoot….!!! (voice trailing [...]

The Nike slogan keeps chugging through my head like some crazy ear worm song. I hope that writer was well-paid for that line. It certainly cuts through the crap, doesn’t it?
I haven’t consciously done any form of exercise except for waitressing and the occasional walk. After this post, I’m going to turn on Fit TV and see if [...]

Change and Hope: going to use that as my personal diet mantra.
I even scribbled “Yes you CAN!” on a piece of paper yesterday and shoved it in my pocket. Ate zero potato chips at the restaurant where I work yesterday ~ a good start in my book. (I have a very small book.)
Did well food-wise [...]
