Achooooooo!

Sorry I haven't gotten the video up yet. I've had the worst cold all week and am barely functioning at the moment!

Wish me luck!
Diet Advice (2)
I'm testing out a pot roast recipe that Julia gave me. If all goes well, I will be making it for my family on Christmas (my sister and I are doing the cooking this year). I'm shooting a video of it so look for it later on tonight or tomorrow. I don't cook or eat a lot of beef so this is a first for me! I survived Thanksgiving without putting on the pounds. I can't believe that at this time last year I was almost 180! I will admit that I pretty much eat what I want now. I don't ...

Back from NY
Eating Out, Travel (4)
I just got back from NY. I had a good time shopping! I actually didn't buy too much, but I certainly tried! My flights were a little crazy. On the way to NY, we were circling about halfway thru because the weather in NY was bad and they weren't letting us land yet. Then they said we could had been cleared to land so I went to the bathroom (they had just finished the food and drink service). While I was in the bathroom, a guy passed out on the plane in the middle of the aisle. Luckily, there was a ...

Hearty Low Carb Chili for a Cold Day!
Pets, Recipes (2)
I just uploaded a video recipe for low carb Hearty Chicken Chili. It's getting colder out so it seemed like the perfect meal for today. I hate cold weather. I bought a big poofy coat today! For some reason, I always get hungrier in colder weather so I need meals that are heartier. If you're looking for more recipes (not necessarily low carb), check out http://www.recipesbymike.com. Mike's got a blog with recipes and cooking tips. He's also been nice enough to put my videos and a cookbook promo on his site, so go show him some love! In other news, my dog ...

I *heart* water…NOT!
Food (8)
I just tallied up what liquids I have had today and I'm embarrassed! As of 2pm, I have had 2 coffees and 2 diet cokes. Because I am a creature of habit, I know I will probably have a diet orange soda with dinner (that I will finish during the rest of the night) and two coffees after dinner. Sometimes, if I'm thirsty, I'll have another diet soda at night. Basically, the majority of what I drink is brown. Or fluorescent orange. I used to drink a lot of Fruit20 which seems better but really diet soda is water, fake ...

Strategies for Thanksgiving
Diet Advice (4)
As Thanksgiving approaches, now is a good time to think about your diet strategy for dealing with this food-filled holiday. There's no right or wrong answers here. Each person needs to figure out what strategy is going to work best for them! One option is to just eat whatever you want and not worry about sticking to your diet. The pros of this option are that you can relax and enjoy your holiday without worrying about the carbs in Aunt Bertha's pumpkin pie. The cons are that you may face some weight gain (if you've previously been avoiding carbs) and you ...

Low Carb Snack Ideas
Diet Advice, Food (5)
When I was losing weight, I actually cut down on the snacking but I did try to have a few snack items around in case I got hungry. Turkey bacon was my go-to snack. I would make up a batch of it and then keep it in a ziploc for a snack on the go. It saved me during several endless meetings! EAS Advantage low carb shakes were another snack that I always kept around (and still do!). They are portable and yummy, but I tried to limit them to just one per day. Turkey pepperoni is a newer snack ...
