Weekly Weigh-in Week 7
July 30th, 2012
I weighed in on Thursday and shortly thereafter left for a weekend vacation in Erie, PA. Our motel, which is was a bit of a dump, charged $5 a night for Wi-Fi. Considering what we paid for a room that was filthy, I refused to shell out any more money. Aside from the room, the
Four Bean Salad
July 26th, 2012
Yes. You read that right. Its a four bean salad. Three beans will just not do. I’ve upped the ante! Four Bean Salad is a wonderfully cool dish I like to make for picnics. Most recently I packed it for our lunches during the all-day-long 100 Mile Yard Sale, which my mother-in-law shop annually. I
Thinspiration Tuesday – Old Navy Perfect Khakis
July 24th, 2012
I have never owned but have always wanted a pair of Old Navy’s Perfect Khaki pants. A variety of reasons – not living near enough to one of their stores, not fitting comfortably in them or outrage over the $30 price tag (do those darn things ever go on sale???) – have contributed to this anomaly!
Banana Oat Muffins
July 23rd, 2012
Every year my mother-in-law and I shop the 100 Mile Yard Sale in Central Pennsylvania. We are bargain shoppers through and through. For the most part, my home decor for each of the major holidays was purchased almost exclusively through yard sales. I also like to shop at yard sales for supplemental items for both
Weekly Weigh-In Week 6
July 20th, 2012
Last week, I lost only 0.6 pounds. I hoped and prayed I would lose at least 1.4 pounds to average my loss at 1 per week for those past two weeks!!! Ask and ye shall receive! Somehow – despite only having two 30 minute sessions of structured exercise (stationary bike) and tracking my Points the
Thinspiration Tuesday – The Before Photos
July 17th, 2012
Sometimes I need a visual reminder of where I want to be. Sometimes I need a visual reminder of where I don’t want to be. This is where I was earlier this year at 149 pounds. 149 pounds is halfway between my highest ever weight and my goal weight. Its sort of a scary milepost
Black Bean Spread
July 16th, 2012
I try very hard to buy enough groceries for the entire week. To stay on Points, I like to know well in advance what I’m eating for each meal. Not doing so could lead to going over my daily Points – which I only want to do for special, really yummy food. But I recently
Check out my new Facebook Page!
July 15th, 2012
Not that there was an “old” Facebook page. This is the first. I’m not really sure about this whole Facebook thing. I’m 31 years old and have been apparently living under a rock or something. Page vs. Profile is really confusing me. Why can’t my Page have friends? Why does Facebook need to know my
Honey Mustard Slow Cooker “Chicken”
July 14th, 2012
Weight Watchers wants you to have two tablespoons of healthy oil per day. I eat at least a quarter of an avocado most days, and I think that counts. But oil – olive, sunflower, canola – can’t do it. Can’t cook with it, can’t dress salads with it. Despite whatever potential benefits exist within it,
Weekly Weigh-In Week 5
July 13th, 2012
Faithfully, I have been weighing in every Thursday for the past six weeks. And although I’ve been meaning to post my results, I have not. So here is the run down… Within my first week, I ran a 5K and really injured my achilles tendon. I could barely walk for awhile. I went to an
