Hi people!
I know, I know….my blog writing has been kinda on the sketchy side lately. I apologize – not that I think you’re anxiously sitting at the edge of your seat just waiting for me to post something. I know better than that. But things have been a little nuts in my world lately.
First, a couple of comments regarding my Wordless Wednesday post of last week. The first pic was of my first taste of Indian food. I went with my friends who moved here to KC (who both love Indian and have tried it at various places [ ... ]

Since I joined Weight Watchers in 2006, I’ve heard over and over about how wonderful Trader Joe’s is. As far as I know, the closest one to me here in Kansas City is St. Louis – but I haven’t really checked to make sure. I just know there aren’t any within a reasonable driving distance.
Well, not for long. Check out this article:
Trader Joe’s to Open Two KC-Area Stores
We’re not getting one store. We’re getting TWO! There will be one on each side of the state line (Kansas and Missouri).
So tell me, all of you lucky Trader [ ... ]

I was grocery shopping today and decided that I wanted to risk having cheese in the house. When I got to the cheese aisle, I immediately headed towards my favorite cheese as of late. Cabot’s 75% Reduced Fat Sharp Cheddar Cheese. I’m all about the sharp cheddar, so when I found this and discovered that it actually tastes good, you know I fell in love. Now, if they came out with a 75% Reduced Fat Reduced Sodium kind then screw love, I’d be in lust.
Every time I’ve bought this particular brand of cheese, it’s always been [ ... ]

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m still buying various 100 calorie packs. What can I say? They’re handy! But I have made some great strides in the past couple of months.
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m a “quantity eater.” I like to eat. I like to eat a lot. I won’t deny it. I can eat a lot in a very short amount of time. Um, yeah, pretty much the definition of a binge.
However, you would be so incredibly proud of me! I know I am! A few months ago, I searched and searched for my favored 100 [ ... ]

Today was weigh in day and unfortunately, I showed a 1.1 pound gain. But surprisingly, I was very okay with it. While a bit disappointed, I actually had an extremely positive attitude about it all.
First, I had Mexican (chips/salsa, grilled chicken fajitas with sour cream and guacamole) for lunch and then the leftovers for dinner on Saturday. I snacked way more than I should have late Saturday night – not crazy off-plan things (like ice cream), but definitely more than I should have had and didn’t count it. Sunday, I had a bagel thin pizza (just a homemade pizza using [ ... ]

Hi all! Can you believe that it has been 200 weeks since I joined Weight Watchers? I can’t! Time sure flies. On June 5th, it will have been four years. FOUR YEARS?! What the heck? Where does time go?
So yeah, unfortunately for several months during 2009, I was off plan, but I’m still factoring those weeks in. And unfortunately, I was up 0.5 pounds at weigh in today. Ah, well. You know, seriously, I can’t complain. It’s the first time I’ve been up since 3/2/10, and it’s not even a whole pound. And [ ... ]

Okay, first, as I suspected, mother nature leaped straight over spring and fell straight into summer – it was 86 here today! I’m not ready for that yet. In fact, I swear to God these flowers weren’t by our house yesterday:
This means time for weeding (ha, yeah right) and oh god, mowing soon!!!!
Second, I practically laughed the entire way into work today and am about to blow wide open an undercover conspiracy. There is a 24 Hour Fitness that I pass almost every day that I’ve considered joining. The two things that have held me back are that it [ ... ]

Before I get to the good stuff, I want to put out the disclaimer that every product mentioned in this post was paid for by me, with my money.
First, I’m loving that I’m still on plan. I’ve missed my treadmill night the past two nights, but am hoping to get back on it soon. Food-wise, I’m doing good. Friday, as you know, I had a bit of an unexpected situation, but I dealt with it and tracked it. Last night, I was so freaking exhausted from stress and lack of good sleep that I had a fairly good-size piece of [ ... ]

Oh the irony of it all. When I posted last night, I hadn’t actually eaten the cake yet. But I ate it, and have really had no desire to eat more. I have no desire at all to go home from work and eat the entire pan. The ironic part is, is that it wasn’t the pure bliss that I thought it would be. I barely tasted the chocolate – all I tasted was sugar. Maybe I’m too addicted to my Hershey 100 calorie chocolate covered pretzels or something (a fave of mine). But this cake, one of my old [ ... ]

Hi all! I hope your weekend was nice! I feel like I’ve just been going nonstop. And in those few rare moments when my body wasn’t moving, my brain was.
My schedule (working nights, sleeping days) tends to royally jack with my system. I was tired Friday night, and knew we were thinking about going to the zoo on Saturday (which got rained out), so went to bed around 3:30 am.
What time did I get up? 5:30 am. No, that’s not a typo.
I dawdled a bit that morning, checking e-mails and other such stuff and then made a breakfast burrito (I’ve [ ... ]

When I got off work last night, I decided to make some meals for the remainder of the week (kind of like I did the Sunday before last), but this time I thought I’d share some pics.
I first mixed up a batch of one of my favorite go-to *EASY* recipes: Mexican Corn Bake. I can’t remember where I got the recipe from, but I think someone posted it on the WW message boards once upon a time. I’ve been making this for a couple of years now. Click here for the recipe.
Dry ingredients have been mixed and am [ ... ]

By 10am this morning, I had been to Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart Market, the bank, Whole Foods, and Michaels. I have one or two more things to pick up later, but I can pretty much say that I have all of my errands done. I have a load of dishes going in the dishwasher, all of my groceries put away, and am feeling like I got a lot accomplished. Of course, all of this is a product of the fact that I couldn’t sleep and have been up since 3am. I sense a nap in my near future.

First, I’m going to need you guys (pretty please?) to send up some prayers, cross your fingers, do the hokey-pokey, or whatever it is that you guys do when you really want something to go your way. I’m really nervous right now. Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m downright scared. It’s a little after 3:30 am and my dad just had a seizure and fell again. This time right outside my bedroom in our upstairs hallway – not even 10 ft from the stairs. He seemed okay when he got up and he went into his bedroom where I made him [ ... ]

Does anyone else out there love pancakes as much as I do? Not only do they taste great, but I always remember Saturday morning cartoons and my mom making pancakes for us. She liked to make Mickey Mouse-shaped ones.
Since I joined Weight Watchers in 2006, I rarely ate pancakes. In fact, I didn’t have them more than once or twice in the two years that I was perfectly on plan. Even over the last year in which I’ve pretty much “fallen off the wagon,” I didn’t have them more than a couple of times. They’re just too many points!
I was [ ... ]
