Mrs. Huddleston’s Chilled Cheese Dip

Mrs. Huddleston’s Chilled Cheese Dip
Thanks for all your wonderful comments about my WI after my ten day cleanse!  It is actually all of you who kept me motivated these last ten days – but now is the hard part.  Seems I need to have a goal dangling in front of my face to keep things interesting! While I am going to continue with my strength training program these next...

10 Day Cleanse Weigh In

10 Day Cleanse Weigh In
So it’s been 10 days since I started my Cleanse.  Lots of sweat, lots of meal planning, lots of avoiding work treats and treats I have at home (Hello Fritos and Paydays – I am looking at you!). But I have to tell you that it went by fast!  And each and every day I had to continue to make good choices, avoid my beloved...

I lied.

I lied.
I have both Shelley and Tony to thank for making me an honest woman.  Here I was saying it had been 8 days since I last had cheese.  Well, they both pointed out that a mere 5 days ago I had a cup of Panera’s broccoli CHEDDAR soup.  So it hasn’t been a full 8 days since I had cheese. . . I lied.  BUT...

“Here’s Hells Burrito!”

“Here’s Hells Burrito!”
I don’t know about you, but typically during my work week, I have everything planned, I am set in my routine and it runs pretty smoothly.  Weekends?  I start dreaming about cheezy pizza and Pinot Grigio! But, this weekend I was still in My Ten Day Cleanse.  That mean no cheese, no alcohol, no sugar – basically no processed foods.  You know what we have...

Five for Five!

Five for Five!
I wrote on my Healthy for the Holiday Facebook Page (still not too late to join – friend me at Beth Hills Velatini!) that I was five for five on waking up and getting my ass to the gym.  Tony told me last night how proud he was of me for getting up!  He keeps telling me that I am beautiful just the way I...

Crunchy Shrimp Tacos

Crunchy Shrimp Tacos
I haven’t mentioned it the last couple days that I am back to drinking coffee.  BUT, not using my International Delight (are you happy Jody?! ) but using a splash of almond milk and 1/2 a packet of Splenda – so good! I made it Day 4 of getting up and hitting the gym.  I cannot tell you how proud I am of myself.  I...

Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal

Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
Yesterday was Day 3 of the “Cleanse” and I was up and out the door again in the dark.  The key for me is not to snooze – because once I hit the snooze, I could literally be back asleep in less than 10 seconds and before I know it an hour has gone by.  Another chili morning – there was frost on the ground!...

My EKG Was Normal!

My EKG Was Normal!
I was sitting at my desk yesterday when I realized that I never got the results from my EKG I did over a week ago.  I called my doctors office, their hours were 11 – 7 yesterday so I gave them my cell phone number to call me back.  My doctor called me at 7:45, just as I was in the middle of doing Insanity...

I Really Missed My Coffee

I Really Missed My Coffee
It’s funny you don’t really think about stuff that you have all the time until you decide to take it away.  My “cleanse” has nothing to do with caffeine, its all the sugary shit I put in my coffee!  And look what’s out now??!! Um, not sure about you guys, but I’ve already fallen in love with all things pumpkin!  I am not worried, I...
