Hopeless!!

Guess I must admit to being technologically inept- (or senile) can't remember how to edit my weight ticker so the dragonfly ain't goona fly!!
Not too great a time these past two weeks- gained a total of 1/4 lbs. since the middle of Jan- I must be thinking I'm hibernating!!
Well- each day is a new one- on a positive note- going to Curves is getting easier!! I am getting measured again at the end of the week .... so wish me luck!!

Wahoo!

Great day! Down 1.2 lbs. this week! Should I celebrate with a huge pizza? Naw, I'll toast with a diet coke instead!

Great start to a hopefully great day! Had the best poached egg made in the cutest silicone egg poacher! The egg sits and floats in a pan of water about 6 min and then just pops out of the holder-no more lost egg in the pan!

Terrific Chai!!

Wow! I just found and made this terrific chai tea! It tastes just like the chai lattes you find at that great coffeeshop- you know then one with the green trademark emblem!! It was super easy to assemble (as soon as you get the ingredients) Here goes-
2c. water
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp.ginger
1/4tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp.cardamom
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
3 tea bags
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. splenda
1 c. low fat milk

Heat the water and spices to boiling. Turn off heat and steep tea bags 3-4 minutes. Take out bags and add splenda and vanilla. Strain mixture into a container and this is the base. Now when you want a cup just take 2/3 c of this mix and 1/3 c of milk and add together and boil. Enjoy!!

Sucess!!!!

Wow! What a great day so far!!
I weighed in 3.2 lbs. less!!!!! And on the way home right in front of me was a glorious rainbow with such vibrant colors! It was so perfect and such a sight that I am taking it as a sign of my sucess!!
And on top of everything, Hillary won in New Hampshire!

tuesday, the 8th

Who says you can't teach an old dogs new tricks? Today i figured out how to put in my weight tracker. Alright. I figured out how to PICK a ticker tape but I still needed some assistance in putting it ON the blog!! My daughter says I need to put down in writing what mini goals I am making. Today I thought of an important one!
She was excited that I finally was able to fit into a pair of zippered jeans instead of the elastic waists. Well after wearing them today I know that my next goal will be to NO LONGER have that roll when I sit down in those jeans. A tad uncomfortable after a while!!! Now I just have to learn how to PUT that goal onto my status bar!!!!!
Tomorrow is weigh in day. Wish me luck!

My first posting of the new year! This year is going to be a very special one. I am going to make positive changes in the area of my health! A New Year and a New Me!! Join me on my journeyand remember to "Think Thin"!!!!
