A few days ago, I simply mentioned on my blog, a memory from years ago at the Lake, and all of my relatives wore these silly Coors Light hats! Well, a lovely reader said she knew someone that made them, and would I like one? Uhhhh……….YES, PLEASE! Here ya go! Now if the Chiefs cold just UP their game so I can WEAR it! “love the life you live, live the life you love”

Todays post is totally boring……. I have been a little off, and things have been a bit busier than usual……and I have let the busy get in the way of planning, which is such a key in a healthy routine. Although the days eats were not at the top of my list for favorites, I made pretty good choices, but lacked in the veggie department.

DinnerCourtesy of Target and the Green Giant! I baked these Basil Pesto Chicken Breast before I went to Bootcamp. When I got home, I chopped them up……. Then I microwaved a bag of Broccoli and a bag of Potatoes…… And mixed it all up! Half for me, half for Mike. Chicken = […]

Saturday and Sunday, I was so focused on family and friends, I didn’t pay much attention to food…..or taking many pictures……so today’s post is mostly how I spent my weekend, and less about what I ate and it’s PPV. (I have not been diligent at all about posting my actual food and points eaten, and I know I am getting myself into trouble here. Bare with me. I mention it because I don’t want anyone to think that I think I am getting away with something. I was up FOUR pounds at Fridays weigh in, 169.6. I am still out of the 170’s, but barely!) Friday was a great night with Tess and her friends here at the house eating Chili and Chicken Corn Chowder and rinsing it down with a few cold beers. (I had two beers.) I had a good time listening to them talk about graduating, job […]

Refresh…I can eat 26 points a day.I can earn Activity Points by doing exercise.I have an allowance of 49 points that I can dip into if I chose. I should drink a minimum of 6 (8 oz) glasses of water each day. The food I ate today and it’s PPV.

Guess where I found this recipe? Go ahead……GUESS? Yip…… Pinterest. 🙂 Click HERE for the original Pinterest Recipe. Here is what I used. 1 Box Yellow Cake Mix1 Can Pumpkin Mix……. Mix really, really well…….. Pour into a greased baking dish. It is super thick! Bake at 350 for 22-28 minutes…… Cool 10 minutes, then turn upside down onto a serving platter. Mix 1 1/4 C powdered sugar3/4 t Pumpkin Pie Spice3 T liquid (I used skim milk) Pour over cake. EAT! Ahhhhhhhhh……… It’s PUMPKIN CAKE PEOPLE! I cut it into 24 small pieces.2 PPV “love the life you live, live the life you love”

I couldn’t think of a better way to start off my day. Another New Item! I will never tire of Pumpkin ANYTHING! Then I added my Oatmeal Pancake topped with Better N Peanut Butter and a sliced Banana! My fav…….. My expression and the bad ass black tape on my neck sum up my entire week…….and the rest of my day………I spent most of the week in pain, and I ate like nothing had a Point Value at all. (But seriously, my hair looked cute almost every day.) My day was filled with mindless/stress eating. They say…… You are what you eat? I ate junk, and the rest of the day, I felt like junk. I feel heavy. My Friday Reflection should be interesting………I did not weigh in last week, and the week before that was my lowest weigh in EVER! I know that some of it is back. Stepping […]

I was reading a food blog yesterday……yes, it’s an addiction…….and the blogger had blogged about taking her pup through the Starbucks Drive Thru where they offer up Whipped Cream for the Pups and call them Puppuccinos!!! Well, only the best for my little buddy! So we jumped in the car and headed out for a Starbucks treat! I just about jumped the curb trying to get out of the drive thru before he was all over me trying to get to his Puppuccino! I had to pull over so the little guy could inhale, then he thanked me! (No, I will not make a habit of this, but it made a great story for the day, and it’s fun to make my husband shake his head at me when he comes home from a long day at work.) Then he was off to the spa for a nail clipping and […]

Monday ended with Bootcamp and a hot shower. Tuesday began with a hot shower, then Physical Therapy. Ouch. I was there for an hour and she worked over my shoulders and neck muscles like crazy! At the end she added this tape. I noticed some of the gymnast used it during the Olympics. Makes me wanna walk the balance beam, or perform a floor routine. How bad could THAT hurt??? A girl can dream………. I leave it on for three to five days…… I think I look like a bad ass…….. The days eats…….

Sometimes when I’m so excited that I can’t come up with the right words, I just throw in a Holy _______, Batman! It works…..usually. I found this recipe on Pinterst. I know….surprise! I can’t help myself. I tried to make this all last week, and just never had the time. My goal is to try new foods and recipes each week. I think last week the only thing new that I did get in was the Apples In A Bag, which I poured over my oatmeal, and it was delicious, and I will make it again, soon! I really became fond of Butternut Squash last Fall. So, this is not so much a brand new food for me this year, but this is a brand new recipe. Click below for the original recipe that I found on Pinterest. Butternut Squash Chili I actually didn’t do the chipotle part of this […]
