Mini Vaca Time

Time to pack. I'm headed South this weekend! I am very excited to spend time with the fam - plus it has been years since I've been. My suitcase is entirely to large for just several days...but I like to have options or items on reserve.

The official Biggest Loser was today. I am down 1.4lbs this week. Hardly in first - but still better than gaining. Next week should be a little better because I will feel like running!

Does food ever tempt you? I get home to a delicious meal cooked by my brother and his guy friends. I was super-proud. Stuffed porkchops (insides included sausage and cheese), rolls, rice, and corn casserole! Yum! I only had 3 bites of the corn casserole and a porkchop. Somewhat low-carb and that's the goal!

All is well in this country song of a life of mine! Be back next week!

Low Carb

It's amazing how creative I become when doing a low-carb diet. Instead of settling for a hamburger patty topped with cheese, a masterpiece was created. Well, maybe not a 'masterpiece' but something yummy. Keep in mind that the fridge and pantry are always empty as well.

Dish name: "Thank God I'm Not Watching My Calories"

Ingredients: Scrambled hamburger meat, veg-all (however much you like), slices of onion, chili powder, salt, pepper, sour cream, topped with cheese!

My sickness symptoms has now moved in my respirtory system. It's not real bad - but I can tell it's there. Nothing Mucinex isn't helping with. So, going to the track tonight was out of the question. Plus it's entirely too hot outside. Instead, I am going to clean house, begin packing for this weekend, research student loans, and go to bed early. Hey, at least I'm still being productive.

Update on the Bigest Loser Contest: Wednesday will be the official weight in - but so far I've only lost 1lb. Puft. That stinks!
