Cheekbones – one day you have them, the next they are gone.

So who would have thought that 2 years ago I weighed 155 lbs. Yup – and I have the photos to prove it. Let’s see, a couple of years ago I weighed about 220 then lost over 70 lbs on atkins only to gain it all back and then some within a year (and get [...]

I can’t wait to try some of these smoothies from the Yoplait site! Check it out…Crème Caramel Chai Smoothies, Spiced Caramel-Banana Smoothies, and Creamy Peach Smoothies just to name a few. And they all include step-by-step instructions and the nutritional information (click on view nutrition). All are mushie safe and look great!

A new liquid delight!

Swiss Miss Diet Hot Cocoa is to die for. (I’m beginning to feel like Oprah plugging her favorite things!) I’ve created another “how-to” diagram to create the perfect mug of hot cocoa. With only 25 calories, you can’t go wrong. I’ve seen a lot of diet/sugar-free hot cocoas out there and this is definitely the [...]

My Scale, My Life

Posted in weight, tagged , , on March 6, 2008 | 8 Comments »

How often do you weigh yourself? Everyday? What time of day? I weight myself every morning…before I’ve had anything to eat or drink. Probably not the greatest idea to weigh yourself everyday but I’m a glutton for punishment. I have the Tanita BF681W Scale plus Body Fat Monitor with Body Water %  (see image below). [...]

What vitamins do you take?

Posted in weight, tagged , , , , on March 6, 2008 | 11 Comments »

So far I’ve been taking the Flintstones Complete and Viactiv Calcium Chews. Both taste great and are an excellent source of necessary vitamins and nutrients. I’ve been too nervous to swallow anything large so chewing has worked great for me. Let’s start a poll…what are YOU taking?

Someone stole my spot

So I was going to take a break (working from home this week) and rest for 30 minutes. I went upstairs to the bedroom and what did I find…but Betty (boston/rat terrier mix) had stolen my spot. I would say “how rude” but when you get a look at this face, all you want to [...]

Abs under that Flab

Posted in lap band, tagged , , , , , on March 6, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I never thought I had stomach muscles. But now I know I do. It hurts when I:

cough
try to sit up
try to stand
bend over
sneeze

And getting 5 incisions in your stomach makes you realize that yes, under all of that flab there is muscle. Can’t wait to see them one of these days…in the form of a [...]

Sweet and creamy and uncommonly good!

Posted in desserts, tagged , , , on March 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve found my throat to be a bit sore after the surgery from the breathing tube they placed down it (damn those breathing tubes)! I’ve been drinking my fluids…but sometimes you just feel like a little something extra to suck on. And I’ve found the perfect something!

Werther’s Original Minis sugar free are the first cream [...]
