In 2009 I declared it MINE with a giveaway.  I was determined to get these 30-40 pounds off that year.  I love looking back at that post because one of my favorite bloggers Meghann (even though she’s young enough to be my daughter!) had a goal of dating that year – and she’s been with her boyfriend for over a year and a half now!...

Is it just me?  I find that if I am in control of my eating and workouts, the rest of my life follows suit.   All the little projects that just seem to be on my list of things to do, suddenly have the need to be crossed off.  One thing I’ve been meaning to do for a while is clean out my wallet.  I save...

Can I just say that my title doesn’t sound like diet food at all?  I thought I had homemade pita breads left in the pantry, but I think Hannah used them all.  So the only thing I thought I could use quickly was an Arnold Thin.  I preheated my oven to 350.  On each half I put 1/4 cup tomato sauce, sprinkle of oregano, 1/2...

Okay, I realized all 164 photos I took with my new camera were on the highest resolution, which took them a long time to load on my blog post yesterday.  Hannah showed me how to reduce the picture size from 14.4 mega pixels to just 3.5, which is what I used for the pictures below (except for my lunch pictures which were taken with Old...

Buy her something for Christmas that she would never expect in a million years. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xoJMxvSgQ4] Yep, I am posting this even though I am not wearing a bra, haven’t brushed my hair and still have my glasses on.  I still cry just watching it!  My family completely surprised me with a Nikon D3100 DSLR camera with 18-55 mm lens.   Being completely shocked is an absolute...

Gotta love when you go to bed at midnight and then wake up at 9:45! 😀  But we are in good shape for tomorrow.  Tony and I went out for breakfast yesterday.  I ordered two egg beater scrambled, a side of bacon and a fruit plate.  For some reason since these were all side items, they came on 3 separate plates!  And while Tony and...

Thank you so much for the anniversary wishes!!  We had a great day.  Hannah’s been babysitting for a family all week so I woke up to a note “the coffee is fresh!”  Love that 😀   Since I had time, I decided to make breakfast nachos again.  Since I know I’ll be making these a lot, I put them in the recipe builder on eTools! Breakfast...

Ten years ago this morning I woke up and married my best friend!  I can’t believe it’s been ten years already.  It’s weird, but I must have been one of the few girls growing up that never really thought of my wedding day.  I didn’t have a binder of colors for bridesmaid dresses, or stacks of pictures of wedding dresses.  All I knew when I...

Yeah, that’s right.  My sweater won most disturbing in our office ugly sweater contest!  What would be even more disturbing is if I were 42, living in my Mom’s basement with lots of cats 😀 And the valuable prize I won was I appetizer tray with a knife that lights up: I had an idea about breakfast that I wasn’t sure would work or not. ...

I had errands to run on Saturday morning, and a couple of the stores and post office didn’t open until 9, so I decided to go to the 8:00 a.m. WW meeting.  I am actually enjoying getting up early on Saturday!  It wasn’t until I got there that I realized that the meeting didn’t start until 8:30, so after I weighed in, I went a...
