Major Muffin Top = BOT53

It has been a long time since I posted to this blog.     For the past five years, I was addicted to the sport of Triathlon, which was great fun.  And to be honest, it was easy to control my weight when I was working out 20 hours per week.   And I could [...]

Evaporated Milk

Today, I did not have any 2% milk for my coffee.  It was too damn cold and icy to run to the corner store for some.  I cannot drink coffee black.  So, I opened a can of evaporated milk and mixed it with water to make a milky like substance. Not bad and alot less [...]

Craving Carbs from too much Diet Soda

I started drinking diet ginger ale about a month ago.   I just realized that I have been craving carbs alot – cookies, crackers, pretzels, tortilla chips.   And I've been having a hard time resisting them.   ACK – I feel so bloated and fat right now.  I was below 140 in early January.  I'm afraid to [...]

Battle of the Bulge

This was the first holiday season in my adult life that I did not gain weight. WOW! I would say that I have won the battle of the bulge, but I am afraid that I would jinx myself, so I won't ever say that!  I weighted 141.6 today.  woot!

Diet Ice Cream Bars

I occassionally indulge in diet ice cream bars.   I like individually wrapped snacks because that way there is no question about the serving size and how many calories I am eating.  Whereas if I buy a whole tub of 'diet' ice cream, it's easy to fill up your bowl with 3 or 4 servings [...]

Post Holiday Weigh-in

Another post holiday weigh in and it wasn’t too bad! Yay!   I did do a fair amount of pigging out this Christmas.  Not too bad, but enough to make me feel bloated and break out with bad zits.  Meh.   I have been afraid to weigh myself for 2 weeks. Before weighing in after a pigout [...]

We Need Candy Like a Hole in the Head

Here is a funny story:  I was in the grocery store look at bagged candy.   It's my hubby's b-day tomorrow, and I always sprinkle candy around the table for us to enjoy as we celebrate.   I usually buy a big bag of kisses or mini peanut butter cups.   

Acne and Sugar??

It's the holidays again – UGH!   It's so hard to resist all those tempting sweet treats.  I didn't do so well this year and am afraid to step on the scale.   AND – my acne has really flared up.

Mammogram story (kinda funny)

I had a routine mammogram today. The nurse came back after viewing my slides and aksed me if I've lost weight since my last one 18 months ago.

Asparagus Frittata w/ Egg Beaters

I made this great recipe tonight called Asparagus Frittata. It's made with egg beaters, and not much cheese, so it's pretty low fat, high protein. It was delicious. I happened to have some asparagus leftover from last night. You could make it with brocolli instead, just whatever. Just thought I'd share since it was so [...]
