Harmless Dilettante added an entry about Lose Weight : I made a renewed commitment to my diet on the 1st of the year. I didn’t lose anything really in 2009. I think it was a side effect of some strange meds my new doctor put me on back then. It took me an insane amount of time to make the ‘medication = side effect = more of me to love’ connection.

This is the recipe for the light potato appetizer I took to the cookie exchange party . It works great as a make-ahead appetizer (just broil before you want to serve them) or as a side dish for brunch or dinner. I love that you can make these the night before you need them! The original recipe called for pork bacon, a tablespoon of bacon grease, and regular cream cheese and cheddar cheese. I used turkey bacon, 2 teaspoons of olive oil instead of bacon grease, light cream cheese and reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese. These were really yummy. I am definitely not going to wait until another party invitation to make these again!

Harmless Dilettante added an entry about Lose Weight : Here’s my “Measurable and Specific” spin on my “Lose Weight” goal: The Plan: If I stick to my 1200 calories/day Nutrisystem diet. Since I exercise a lot, a Nutrisystem counselor advised me to toss in another protein and maybe another fruit serving. Maybe I’ll eat another one of their packaged dinners for lunch? For some reason, I have about three boxes worth left over from previous months. Hopefully, my amazing weight loss won’t be due to food poisoning. For some bizarre reason, Nutrisystem doesn’t put expiration dates on their boxes.

YouTube: TrekTredHead I'm not a parent, but I want to hit a kid now! I guess children really are allergic to vegetables. Its cliché, the family sits down for dinner, mom fills Junior's plate, and he eats everything else, but pushes his broccoli around. What if it were carrots instead? Maybe then he'd eat it. How about giving your kid...

StephBlue added an entry about lose weight : Okay, after one week of eating healthier and exercising everyday, I have lost 3 pounds! I’m pretty happy with myself that the changes in my body are showing already. Now I am aware of the fact that I might not lose as much in the upcoming weeks because the first pounds are water weight and then I’ll be building my muscles so it might even go back up a bit before it starts going down again. But I’m sticking to my new regimen no matter what!
