Hey Breakfast Bowl Lovers!

Here's what's for breakfast:
HG's Hash Scramble (pg 54 of 300 Under 300). I modified it using the Southwestern style Egg Beaters and it is amazing!! A whole bowl of hash brown, egg, meat, veggie and cheese goodness for 292 calories and 6g of fat!!! And, it tastes wonderful!
Here is the recipe and the picture of the finished dish. Thanks Hungry Girl for a tasty and filling breakfast!




























What? You say you have NEVER heard of this Hungry Girl, her books, cooking show, website or emails???
Check out http://www.hungry-girl.com . Go now...you won't regret it! The girl is a genius at making over calorie rich foods without sacrificing taste.

Have a good day today y'all!! :)

Oh my lordy...

I can't believe it has been more than one whole year since I have been in a defined relationship. Lol And that relationship hardly even counts. I stopped talking to BH. He's kinda a jerk (he is!) and he thinks he's awesome (he's not!). Men. I'm happy single...sometimes i think I'd like to have someone to hold me...but I don't need it!!
Okay okay...bedtime for me! Goodnight all!

Picture from today on the trail. Of course...I had to smile.

Oh the joys of high altitude and a low-calorie diet

I have a killer headache today. The kind that feels like a drum is beating in your head with every step you take and every sound you hear and word you say. I know it's just from the altitude in Colorado....but I'm still going to complain! It also could be a little bit from my diet. I'm back on Medifast (down 4.8lbs so far) and the calorie reduction & lack of loads of carbohydrates! Oh lordy what I wouldn't give for a huge blueberry muffin. But...my thighs are proof that I need to say no!!!

My food (so far) today:
Medifast pancakes
Medifast Cherry Pomegranate Shake
Medifast Beef Stew
Medifast Tropical Punch
2 oz grilled chicken
1 cup baby greens
1T light ranch & a few dashes of crystal hot sauce
1 cup cooked mushrooms


I'm going to drink some green tea and wish this headache away!

My plan for Medifast is called 5&1. It's 5 Medifast meals and one Lean and Green meal. The Lean and Green (L&G) consists of 5-7 oz of lean protein and 3 servings of low carbohydrate veg. :)

I gave my mom's 2 dogs and my dog a bath the other day. Lol.


When you get Rusty wet, he looks just like Baxter!



Baxter got a haircut. :) he looks good. He's been hanging out with me at work and home. I'm going to miss him when I go to California!

Wonderful Love

I can't imagine a better reason to update my blog, and I can't imagine a better 100th entry than to announce the birth of my best friend (aka sister) Karen's baby boy.

Happy Birthday Clayton Joseph Gerletti!

Born April 12th, 2010 at 8:22AM weighing 7lbs 9.1oz, and 18inches long.









I am just in love with this little booger...I just can't help but holding him, kissing him, and buying him whatever he needs! :)

He should be going home today. He's been under the blue ultraviolet LED lights to break down the bilirubin in his skin and make his jaundice go away! I can't wait to take a picture of him in his "Auntie said I could" onesie while he's sitting in his carseat! In 35 mins they will do the bloodwork...pray his bilirubin levels are really really low now...hes been under the lights for a day and a half!!!


Today is the 3 yr anniversary of the shooting at VA Tech. RIP Leslie Sherman and all the other lives lost.

Yessssssssh!

I'm on my 6th day of Nutrisystem, and I just couldn't wait until Sunday to weigh so I weighed this morning. I've lost at least 2 lbs already! :) Its very exciting! I'm hoping once I get to California I will either have $$ to go to a gym OR (the better option) my apartment complex will have a gym and/or pool. :)

All I want to do *right now* is lose 52 lbs. 52 pounds puts me one pound lighter than when I met my ex husband. :) And I think I looked pretty good at that weight.

And then I'll go from there!!!

:) 26 days til the move!
