Lately I’ve had an obsession with beans…chili, baked beans…you name it. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m too tight and beans are easier eat since they are “mushier”..but where you find beans, you’ll find me. My typical day has consisted of the following:
Breakfast: tall non-fat mocha from Starbucks
Lunch: about 2-3 oz of baked beans
Dinner: [...]

Just finished dinner. Steak, corn…that’s it. Had about 4 oz of steak and 2 oz of corn. But I’m STILL HUNGRY. Wahhhhhh. I want to be full. I am getting so ornery. I know I’m not supposed to drink liquid calories, but I’m going to have a Slim-Fast-accino because I am so not full or [...]

And it’s crazy how this fill has impacted my eating. For lunch today I had a tuna salad. And all I could eat was about 4 bites of the tuna and a couple bites of the lettuce. For dinner I had tilapia and ate about 1/4 of a fillet and a couple of mushrooms. And [...]

I dreaded writing this post…because I knew how disappointed you would all be with me. I didn’t create a Peeps creation. I know – I am so bad….so lazy…so lacking Peeps spirit. I just didn’t have time, was too tired from the OC trip and decided to sleep instead. Thank you all for [...]

If you don’t know what a Peeps creation contest is, I’ll tell you. It’s [...]

It’s basically a social event where a bunch of advertising folks in the Seattle area get together and talk about how exciting the advertising industry is and what great clients they all have while dining over expensive food that doesn’t taste too great at the Washington Athletic [...]

I’ve decided to experiment with the header image of the blog. Some may ask why I’m posting images of cupcakes, chocolates, candies, etc. Well – if I can’t eat them, I can at least look at them…right?

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 [...]

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!
