I have an air date for my episode of Grill It! Set your DVR or TiVo! And check your local listings for a time! I’m going to get Neil, my husband, to watch it first and then if I do okay - I’ll watch it! HA! Fingers crossed!

WOW! Do I feel great! I love dieting again! I had forgotten some of the dishes I used to eat when I was strictly losing weight and there’s nothing like an old favorite food to bring you back to life. I made my Creole Chicken Pie and I’m having that tonight! And guess what? I joined CURVES! I’m actually gonna get off my lazy butt and exercise. That’s always been a sore subject for me but I went for my orientation last night and I actually think I can do it. I was so sore I was shaking last night but I’m going back again today and feel very good about it. I’m just incredibly out of shape and since I lost weight there’s no excuse not to take it to the next level.
And I’ve already lost my vacation weight - now I have to lose the fve pounds I gained during Christmas.
I make no more promise to myself than that - but I would like to lose five more after that - but no promise - just onward and upward. I’ve really been EATING GREAT AND LOSING WEIGHT! Who knew - I can practice what I preach!
Stay tuned!

I’ve been on vacation for two weeks. Neil and I went to the Grand Canyon and guess what? Turns out my stomach is the other Grand Canyon! I’m sorry to say I left no biscuit unturned (or unbuttered) YIKES! So yes, I did gain a few pounds. The good news is yesterday I decided I needed to create my own diet plan - so made lists of my favorites and got a ball park idea of what to have everyday for the next seven days (I want it to be nutritionally sound as well as delicious - and EASY!), made a grocery list, shopped, came home and cooked and I’m off to the races.
This morning I had brand cereal and skim milk for breakfast. I made carrot and artichoke soup yesterday (topped with fat free shredded cheddar cheese and crispy chunks of turkey bacon) for lunch today and I brought an apple (with Laughing Cow Garlic and Herb cream cheese) and 100 calorie popcorn for a snack. Tonight I will have a shrimp, broccoli and cheese burrito and I should have enough calories left over for another snack - probably my new favorite milk shake which is half pineapple and half strawberry! This sounds great and I feel VERY motivated. I love all my recipes and some of them I have not eaten in a while. I also made 8 servings of my Chicken Creole Pie yesterday. I froze them all because I don’t know which night I’ll want that.
This is where the rubber meets the rode. I saw Kirsty Ally on Oprah last week and she had gained all her weight back. I do not want to go there and this is how I’ll find out if I have what it takes to keep from doing just that. Stay tuned. I’ll write more often and let you know how I’m doing.
