Hola, hello and howdy

Wine and glue guns just don’t mix.
That is all for tonight.

Fall seven times…

get up eight. eighty. eight hundred and eighty eight. Only in my case, it’s spelled a-t-e.
Dang! Been eating like a wild woman lately and must rein it in. Hope & Change gave way to Snacks & Sweets over the last week. I haven’t blogged, nor have I tracked my food in a week. One careless day [...]

Made a Monk-y of…

Okay, so I’m at the check out line at the grocery store with about half my cart unloaded on the belt and a woman gets in line behind me, slaps down the order divider thingie about a foot behind my order, unloads her 20 or so items and grabs a magazine and starts to read, [...]

Show of hands, please…

How many of you had Valentine’s candy for breakfast? Am I the only weirdo?
Granted, the box was a small one ~ the “Dieting Wife” size ~ three pieces at 220 calories, bless his heart (or not).
How to suck the joy out of a box of candy: turn it over and check out the calorie amount!
Went [...]

Book ‘em

Here’s the little notebook (appropriately named “Little Fat Notebook”) that I jot down my food, water and whether I took vitamins or not. Then I enter ‘em in my nutrition page on Spark People. Some days are good and some not so good…

The “Crap!” probably refers to a snack attack, too much wine or a big [...]

“Biggest Snoozer”

I watched “Biggest Loser” on my computer last night, and even with the short 15 second ads, became annoyed with how long it took to watch. I could edit that show down to 1/2 hour. Cut out all the scripted blather from the blonde scale host woman ~ she drives me up the wall with [...]

shake, rattle & roll

Praying it’s not a rumor & son playing with camera…

    YAY! 
 First tastes…. and last. Errrrp! No diner for this hag. It was worth it.

Coming Soon!

Almost drove off the road today when I heard an ad for… Mc Donald’s Shamrock Shakes! Coming soon to participating Mc Donald’s! I’ll bring my camera so I can document the find.
Dawgone ~ I hope it will be the experience I’ve built it up to be in my head.
Today was a good food day, crowned [...]

166-put down cheese stix

BMI= 26
Does anybody else fool around with those BMI calculators? I discovered I have to weigh 159 to be slotted into the very edge of the “normal weight” category. There it is again; that elusive One-fifty number. It’s like a mental road block that I have the darnedest time getting to.
We are thawing out here [...]

tumblin’ Friday

Where’s my wine? I’m planning a soft tumble off the wagon tonight.
Already started with a botched batch of Rice Crispy Treats I was making for the PTA’s (Not a) Valentine’s Day Dance for the Middle School kids. “Honestly, how can you screw them up?”, you wonder. Okay, I’ll tell you. Estimate the amount of rice [...]
