Another Bizzy Day!

Don’t get me wrong.  I love hanging out with my husband and step-son.  But when it comes to football, I don’t think they appreciate my comments! Biz: “OMG, I hate the color of that teams outfits!”  (It was brown and yellow!) Biz: “Does the play stop when they accidentally run over the official?” Biz: “It looks like they are wearing capri pants!” But the best...

Morning!

I worked a little late last night, and by the time I got home and we ate dinner, I was too comfy snuggling with Tony to blog! 😀 I didn’t do my www.calorieking.com yesterday!  But I don’t think I did too bad.  This morning my blood sugar was 85 so I am happy with that!  As I type, Tony is making my breakfast – his...

I have no ability to use salt.  Seriously.  I under salt just about everything I cook.  Thank goodness for Tony!  I constantly bring him things to taste, and the first words out of his mouth is “it needs more salt!”  I think Tony thinks I’ve burned every tastebud in my mouth for all the hot stuff I eat!  This mornings breakfast was no exception! 1...

Practice What I Preach

I had a half day at work today, because the other day, I realized it had been a few months since I had seen my diabetes doctor.  I called, said it was time to make a check up, and casually asked “when was the last time I saw the doctor?”  She said “are you sitting down?”  DECEMBER 2008!  What?  I could not believe it had...

Bizzy Day in the Kitchen!

I love football Sundays!  I get to spend the day in the kitchen!  Breakfast was quick – 2 ounce french bread, 1/2 ounce goat cheese, 1/2 ounce swiss cheese and 1 Pam fried egg.  I toasted the bread, and spread the goat cheese on one half, then when I flipped my fried egg over, put 1/2 ounce of swiss and put a top on it...
