Tony’s Nurse . . . words from the one and only TONY!

Tony’s Nurse . . . words from the one and only TONY!
I must admit one develops and close relationship with a lady whose fingers are buried 5 inches deep into ones stomach cavity. A certain amount of trust and closeness are required for such a harsh treatment. We meet three times per week. During the treatment I lay on the couch helpless as a baby lamb. It is as it happens the only way that this...

Weekly WI and Party Pizza Friday!

Weekly WI and Party Pizza Friday!
So I’ve tried the last flavor of new Chobani, Passion Fruit, and I think its my favorite of the three, although the blood orange is a close second.  My fruit parfait: strawberries (0), blackberries (0), yogurt (3), 1/4 cup granola in between (3).  Breakfast comes in at 3 points. My office had an impromptu lunch yesterday, so I didn’t run at lunch.  While pizza was ordered...

Sometimes Its A Wash

Sometimes Its A Wash
Wanna see what a future food blogger looks like?  This is what Hannah sent me yesterday with the caption “mini egg, ham and cheese sammies – delish!” You all are too nice about telling me how young I look – I’ll be 44 next month! 😀  But I’ll take the compliments. I have to give a shout out to Tony’s home health care nurse –...

What Do You Wash Your Face With?

What Do You Wash Your Face With?
After showing my “model” poses from Tuesday, I got about a dozen emails on the side from readers asking me what I use to wash/maintain my face. It kinda made me chuckle, and it probably will make you chuckle too when I give you the answer:  shampoo.  Yep, being the low maintenance gal that I am I usually kill two birds with one stone and...

Rock Star Gangsta Model

Rock Star Gangsta Model
I really didn’t expect anything for Valentine’s Day yesterday.  Tony’s not been feeling well, he has a 12 foot tube attached to a vacuum at his side 24/7.  But he surprised me.  He had a doctor appointment on Monday while I was at work, and had just enough strength to go to CVS and pick me up a card.  😀 Um, who told him I loved...

I didn’t think I could do it. But I Did!

I didn’t think I could do it. But I Did!
Having to get up for work during the week and then getting up early to go to WW on Saturday mornings, I told Tony “I am going to sleep in as long as I want!”  We went to bed about 11:15 on Saturday night.  But I am one of those people that can sleep 12 hours, no problem. So imagine my surprise when I was...

Cranberry and Chocolate Chip Granola made with Splenda

Cranberry and Chocolate Chip Granola made with Splenda
After yesterdays +2.8 WI, I am not gonna lie – I really just wanted to go to McDonald’s drive thru and get a sausage McMuffin with Egg with Hashbrowns.  But I didn’t.  This is a lifestyle, not a diet and I know that what I do the previous 7 days doesn’t automatically show my efforts on the scale. I came home and started doing some...
