About Me:: Happily married Mother of 2 gorgeous little boys!
I have a lot of weight to lose and would like to get and give support to others on the same journey! I am thankful to have found this site!
I WAS following WW/Calorie Counting for a few days but I am going to go back to CAD (Carbohydrate Addicts Diet)The intense cravings when eating too many carbohydrates during the day is too uncomfortable and has my blood glucose meter blinking MUCH higher numbers.
I am insulin resistant BIG TIME and need to accept that I am going to have to cut way back on carbs in order to put the brakes on insulin flooding my system. I also suffer from Fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism. Every day is a battle with my body BUT I know that I can make improvements and make this body HEALTHIER and HAPPIER!!!

Plan of Choice:: Low Carb, Other

Monday again...

Well, even though it's a Holiday my hubby still had to go to work. :( Why do the weekends go by so fast? He's self employed so technically he could have taken the day off but he said since he's taking next Monday off so we can go to the fair he wants to have extra cash to play since we will probably want to buy a bunch of stuff ha ha - also this weekend we are going somewhere fun for a day trip with our friends and their two little boys. It's going to be a fun three day weekend coming up! :D The… Continue

My love affair with a Cinnabon this morning :D

Alright, so I was making my espresso this morning and it was so tasty! I made sugar free Torani Cinnamon, sugar free Torani Caramel and sugar free Torani white chocolate - it was like a delicious cup of Cinnabon wickedness with just THREE POINTS! I had 2 eggs, (2) 2 strips of turkey bacon (2) and a pinch of cheese (1) I put that all in a Mission 96% fat free tortilla (2) - I ended up actually feeling sick (THANKS TOM Grrrrrrrr - lovely time of the month) so I took the turkey bacon and egg out af… Continue

Just logging my food for accountability

We are about to run out and do some errands! Just posting my food for the day so far for accountability! :) We have to pick up the wee one from Grandma and Grandpas this afternoon too! He stayed there last night. He got to sleep in a tent in their living room again! He sure loves doing that! Especially since Grandma sleeps in there with him ha ha. Baby has been a little bit fussy due to his teething. He has two teeth now peeking out to say HELLO! One on the bottom right and one on the top right!… Continue

Summer is coming to an end and soup is back on the menu!

So, hubby is on his way home - he's been gone working on my parents rental across the water and so he leaves Monday mornings and comes home Friday nights! THANKFULLY it's FRIDAY and he's on his way home! :D It's been like this for about a month and a half. It's been hard especially since we have two young kids! He has about 2 to 3 more weeks on the duplex remodel and then he will be DONE DONE DONE! I am thrilled! So, when he gets here (it's now 3:30) we always eat dinner together since he usuall… Continue

At 8:47pm on August 31, 2008, HungryHippos said…: Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to cut back on the carbs. Eyelash curlers scare me to be honest, but I'm incredibly picky about my eyes. I can't even wear mascara because I always forget and rub my eyes and end up with black all over my face. I stick with the clear mascara when my eyes need something. I am in love with the mineral makeup. It was so easy this morning. I can't believe how natural it looks. Shopping for makeup and beauty supplies is so much fun. My husband always hates to see me go down the hair aisle because I could spend days looking at shampoo, conditioner, etc. Have fun at Target!
