Sometimes I have a few Turkey Sausage links. I TRY to eat somewhat healthy dinners (especially if my daughter is home to cook)... Mostly I graze throughout the day... some cashews... some raspberries... maybe a banana... not anything like I SHOULD.

I am also going to admit - in the evening I treat myself to a little Spumoni Ice Cream sometimes... am I the only one who loves this flavor? Glad I don't have for a Spaghetti Factory date to get it now... I hope it's not a flavor experiment soon to disappear...
My point is:
I AM NOT DIETING -
I've been doing this all year long... the ONLY THING that has changed is the addition of AMBEREN into my life!
Maybe, just maybe it is starting to do it's thing... In the nick of time!
No news is good news, right? A whole month has slipped by without a posting! I am on auto-pilot... my body is adjusting nicely... I am skipping the pills on Sundays. Not willing to change much else yet... I want these things to be truly ingrained in my system -
don't ruin a good thing!
But something new is finally happening!
MY WEIGHT IS DROPPING!
I have not changed anything... haven't started working out
(got a YMCA membership but haven't used it yet)...
I haven't upped my water intake -
I'm at about a 10th of what it should be...
What I AM doing is eating a big breakfast of one egg/two egg whites,
lots of zucchini, onions and tomatoes... similiar to this...

The hardest part is during the day... working at my computer... bookkeeping away... sometimes I need to CRUNCH - and I found something that satisfied that NEED - "My Nana's" chips! They are the best - and locally made... but get the ones from SAFEWAY - they make them fresh at Basha's, but they are too hard to resist! I've been known to eat a whole bag... (and I wonder why I've been gaining weight?)

My new favorite salsa is Safeway Select Peach Pineapple - I put it on top of my eggs... mix it with low-fat sour cream for a KILLER salad dressing.
Of course, mixed with cream cheese is the best,
but I'm TRYING to be good!
Just sayin.... Get this stuff!

I was venturing into Rosie O'Donnell territory!
Don't get me wrong - I LOVE HER!
but let's be honest, I would rather look like her fiancee...
come back to XM Radio, Rosie - I miss our morning chats!

They say we gravitate toward looking like our spouses,
that explains MY weight gain...
and hopefully will help with Rosie's weight loss!
I really didn't want to be doomed to a lifetime of
leggings and loose fitting blouses and blazers...
I am giving AMBEREN the credit for the change -
and hopefully by next month I will report more good news...
and hopefully by next month I will report more good news...
In the meantime, I'm feeling good... almost NORMAL if I dare use that term!
My moods are on an even keel -
I feel like a WOMAN again!
Come on girls... SING WITH ME!
