UPDATE:  This post is a couple years old, but I had to update the photography so you guys would try these super easy shrimp and grits.  If you haven’t tried grits before, they are so delicious and microwavable, so this shrimp and grits comes together in 10 minutes.   Do you guys love Dave Chappelle??  Tony and I used to watch his HBO specials all the...

  I have received several comments telling me that I should stop worrying about my weight, and if I am happy with my life, why don’t I just focus on the positives.  Which I do, but I know I will feel better at least 25 pounds less – then I can happily maintain that weight. Since being back “on” Tuesday, I didn’t know what my...

I appreciate everyone who commented about going back to the old WW ways – whether commenting here, on Connect, or DM.  I am quite shocked that a couple people who shall remain anonymous, just flat out said to me “just eat less food.”   I am going to shake those few negative comments off like Taylor Swift and move on.  Everyone’s journey is different and I...

I didn’t bring any food to work yesterday.  I know, crazy?!  But the beauty of working in Chicago is that I have plenty of options for food.  Freshii is located in the lobby of my building.  This is their huevos bowl – shredded kale (it’s on the bottom) eggs, seasoned black beans, cheese, avocado with salsa and a spicy bbq sauce.  I will suggest that...

I was expecting to have a productive day yesterday clearing a bunch of little stuff off my desk, but instead, with a couple secretaries out, I became the “go to girl” and it was a busy day.  I didn’t even eat this breakfast until nearly 10:00!  1 1/4 cup shredded potatoes cooked in 1 teaspoon grape seed oil (2), 3 ounces of steak (3) and...

Hannah is still working on what I like to call now “Biz’s Kitchen Intervention.”  She’s whittled all my spices, dishes, pots, pans, cooking appliances, silverware, knives down to such a small amount, when I went to look for a skillet to cook an egg yesterday, I couldn’t find a single one.  Oh, because she’s decided that my bigger pots/pans/skillets belong in the pantry.  Huh. One...

Not going to lie, I was totally expecting a loss yesterday.  Two weeks in a row of. 2 losses, and I was telling myself “you are due!”  So I was a bit shocked about a gain of 1 pound. I’ve tracked just as much as I had last year and I was already down almost 9 pounds last year – and I thought “did I...

This is going to be a super quick post – I forgot to plug in my laptop last night (damn glass of wine!) and I have 16% battery 😛   Yesterday I had more Elvis Waffles, although I am not sure that post is looking right – I did a draft on my phone and then finished on my laptop – people commented on the post...
