Well today I weighed in at 214lbs, 1 pound down from last week.  However, last week I was 1.5 lbs up from the previous week.  So I am still over .5 lbs.  However, in good news, my measurements are better this week.

The Lazy Organizer hosts Talk About it Tuesday. 
Last week I tried a new recipe I found over at Kraftfoods.  It was Pepperjack Enchiladas.  I love Mexican food.  I am originally from Texas and in Texas there is a Mexican restaurant on almost every corner.  There is no shortage.  But about 5 years ago, my husband [...]

Again, I did not stick by last week’s menu at all so I have some duplicates this week.   My husband has been out of town and my kids wanted peanut butter and jelly sandwiches most of the time.  So, I actually had an easy week.  I did however make the Velvetta Pepperjack Enchiladas that I [...]

Today I weighed in at 213.5 lbs down 1.5 lbs from last week.
My scale frustrates me. I don’t know if I’m getting an accurate reading or not. Each time I weighed myself this morning, all within seconds of each other, I had different readings. So, I just kept weighing myself until I got three [...]
