Today was my family's "Holiday Extravaganza." We started at about 9:30 and went until just about 3:30. My Grandpa does a neat tradition of going to see historical places decorated for Christmas around Cincinnati. It's nice because it brings the whole family together. First we...

Yesterday I mentioned we went to Skyline Chili for lunch. This, of course, meant that I looked up the menu and nutritional facts before we left. I was all set on getting a salad and ordering a grilled chicken wrap (no ranch/no cheese), eating only half of it. But, then I noticed fo...

Have you checked out the site sparkpeople.com? My Jenny consultant actually recommended it because you can enter recipes into the site and it will break each portion of the recipe down so I can figure out my exchanges for my fats, starches, meats, etc. You just have to sign up for the st...

If you're not into making homemade soup there is a brand in the freezer section that is low in calories and sodium: Tabatchnick. Today I'm having Minestrone - it's only 100 calories, 1.5 grams of fat and 350mg of sodium. If you have one cup it equals 1 starch. Today I had 2 s...

This totally through me through a loop - I was trying to compare desserts for my snack to the calories/fat/sugar in the Jenny Triple Chocolate Cheesecake. I had no idea how MUCH sugar is in it...180 calories, 4g of fat, and 21 g of sugar! Holy cow that's a lot of sugar! Maybe that'...

Damage from the progressive dinner? .8 pounds. Not too bad considering I was so hungry and didn't have a lot of options. I'll just add in an extra work out this week - no problem!
What's a good low-fat margarine to buy? Brummel and Brown Yogurt Margarine is delicious an...

Again, my plans to control what I ate last night at the progressive dinner were thwarted. I certainly did try to follow my plan - we went on an hour and a half hike with my parents and the dogs which was a blast. It was a beautiful day and everyone really enjoyed themselves. My son...

Did you know waffles are considered as a starch and a fat?! Pancakes are healthier for you than waffles. I asked my consultant if I could have Kashi Waffles on this new maintenance plan and she said generally waffles are made with oil to keep them from sticking to the iron. Pancake...

It's that time of year again: my family's annual progressive dinner! I can't tell you how much I look forward to this event. It's so fun to "hop" as we call it from one house to the next. The first house has appetizers, the second is dinner, and the third is dessert. It...

It's winter time and many of us prefer to eat and drink things that are warm. This usually means that you want to make different soups. I, personally, never feel like I'm truly full after having soup unless I have a sandwich or huge salad with it. Here's the danger with soup:&...
