Month: July 2012

Here’s the day in a nutshell. No time to be witty. I am playing catch up on three days of blogs. 7:00 am….Sleep in.9:00 am…..Coffee.10:30 am…..Church.Noon……Breakfast at The Big Biscuit (95th & Nall).1:30 pm…….Toys R Us.3:00……..Birthday Party with Taco’s.5:30…….home to veg……..ahhhhhhh.7:30……Light Dinner…..eggs, toast.8:30 pm……Blog, blog, blog…… This is 1/2 a biscuit and Gravy and fresh fruit. Ignore the food not on this plate. Not mine. 🙂 I completely savored this baby too.I called it 11 PPV. I called the potatoes 2 PPV. I think I was generous. The biscuit really was big. No joke. After a trip down memory lane at the toy store and a very interesting shopping trip with Mike and Tess at Toys R Us, we went to my In-laws for one of our Grandson’s birthday parties. He’s the BIG FOUR! Taco’s were on the menu and there’s no way I can pass up a hard shell […]

Saturday was another full day! It started off with 9:00 am Bootcamp! I am really liking this whole class thing. Class in the morning gets it done first thing, and a scheduled class in the evening allows me to do what I need to do during the day without feeling like I’m procrastinating about my exercise. I came home and made a nice size, but small PPV breakfast. I tried this new bread from Trader Joe’s that was recommended in my WW meeting. 1 piece is 1 PPV. Highly recommended. Very dense and full of flavor! Scrambled Egg Whites, Toast with Better N Peanut Butter, watermelon and coffee. 3 PPV. After breakfast, Tess and I had another full day planned. Next thing on the list was taking the dogs to the groomer. They LOVED their car ride. It was hilarious! This doesn’t look safe, I know. But we weren’t going […]

I started off my day at my WW meeting with my Starbuck’s Nonfat Misto (2 PPV). My weigh-in went as expected…..I messed up again, but at least my mess ups are barely in the 170’s. I know I’ll be here a bit, in the 160’s that is. It just seems to be what I do! Let’s remember……I’m really really good at maintenance! I’ll be 160 something next Friday. July really is crazy with so many things on the calendar. I am debating right now if maybe a plan to maintain until August 1st isn’t such a terrible idea? I don’t think my WW Leader will agree with me on this?? After my meeting, my daughter Tess was coming in town for the weekend, so I met her back at the house. Before we left the house, we ate a little fruit. Banana, strawberries and some watermelon. This was the sweetest […]

I found this recipe on Pinterest a while back and have made it four or five times now. I try to make a recipe exactly as it is the first time. Then after that, I tend to tweak it a bit. This time around I filled 5 of these with Chicken, as the recipe calls for, and the other 5 With Ground Turkey Taco Meat (my favorite). Instead of using the suggested Shredded Monterey Jack cheese, I used shredded Pepper Jack, the full fat kind. YOWZA!! These were tasty! I had just a few baked chips, salsa and Wholly Guacamole on the side, with a Zero PPV Crystal Light Margarita. Super Satisfying! It doesn’t look so big on this plate, but it was! You certainly have to measure out all of your meat and cheese, but the extra effort to do so, and knowing exactly what you are eating, is […]
