This summer seems to be slipping through my finger tips.  School starts next week, and we’ve only got two weeks to go before Labor Day.  I told Tony that I wouldn’t be surprised if we started seeing Halloween candy in the stores soon! So my unofficial WI has me at 161, which is still down 12 pounds but I need to kick it into high...

I think maybe subconsiously I didn’t want to WI today after my vacation.  I didn’t count a single point while I was gone and nothing was off limits.  I think I ate my weight in crab dip! But I had to at least get on my scale this morning – although I am not sure how in sync it is with the WW scale –...

Let’s get to the good stuff first!  To celebrate my 600,000 pageviews, I am giving away three magazine subscriptions. 😀  I love how many of you are magazine whores like me!

Yep, after blogging nearly every day for close to three years, I am taking a week off of blogging!  I know, how will you ever survive?  Ha!  😀  I am sure by Tuesday of next week you’ll be thinking “I wonder if Biz worked out while on vacation or if she just said f_ck it and ate pork bbq five days in a row!”  I’ll...

I love bagel Wednesday.   I have Lori to thank for that – I love bagels, but they are quite point heavy – but having one a week works in my plan. 😀  Life is too short not to have bagels! Mine was an everything bagel with an egg and 1/2 ounce of cheese – breakfast comes in at 11 points. If the weather could be...

I think these are my new favorite pancakes.  They are light, fluffy, slightly sweet, crunchy.  Thanks Jenn for the idea of these!  And if I ever find myself in Seattle – we are definitely getting together! 😀 I kinda just made these up with what I had on hand.  I had buttermilk, so I decided to make banana, granola buttermilk pancakes.  Each pancake is 3...

Yep, I pulled into my office parking lot and it suddenly struck me that I forgot my insulin.  I started a new insulin pen over the weekend and had it in the fridge and never put it in my “diabetes” bag that goes with me everywhere.  It has my glucose monitor, test strips, glucose tabs. While the package says to refrigerate your insulin, you can...

If I were to only have one type of food for the rest of my life, I think I could survive on pizza.  I mean, there’s breakfast pizza, reuben pizza,  Mexican pizza,   the possibilities are endless! I wanted to help my friend out by making some food for her husband while she has surgery.  I figure everyone loves pizza!  I ended up making six pizzas for...

Thanks for all your comments yesterday – so the general consensus is – TOO MUCH SODIUM!  I guess I never realized how much sodium was in my food on Friday – and the day before WI!  Note to self: don’t have Chinese food before a weigh in! Not gonna lie, I did feel like crying – I had such a great week, but then when...

You all know I don’t do processed food too often, but when Jimmy Dean DeLites Turkey Egg bowls go on sale, I always get a few.  They are tasty, and yesterday I kicked mine up with hot sauce an fresh baby spinach – this bowl comes in at only 6 WW points. Later on in the morning I could feel my blood sugar dropping, so...
