When you live near the beach, it’s easy to take it all for granted. At first, it’s exciting. The sounds, the smells, the sensations. But after awhile, you become acclimated and it’s no longer new or different. And so it’s time for a change. Today, Matt and I are setting out for another stay on… Continue reading South Beach Update: Time to Restart

South Beach Update
This makes me feel SO much better. It’s good to know fat can happen to HER, too. For once in my life, I can feel satisfied knowing I’m thinner and prettier – and far more active – than Barbie. Now, where’s MY townhouse and my spiffy sports car?
South Beach Update: Cookin’ Breakfast on the Beach
You know, I’ve been sharing all these wonderful recipes for dinner foods, but South Beach is all about lifestyle and that includes breakfast. So, for the next few weeks, I’ll share with you some of what have become my favorites for breakfast. Today, you get an oldie but goodie.  What I love most about it… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ Breakfast on the Beach
South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the beach
This week’s menu will come as an absolute shocker to anyone in my family. Yes, first it was Barbecue and this week it’s FISH! Salmon, no less. It’s true. This from the girl who was nearly disowned from her lobster-lovin’ New England family. I still don’t like lobster, and my husband has tried to no… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the beach
South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
This week you’re in for a true Texas treat: Barbecue! I know, I know, BBQ sauce is high in sugar and carbs, and most BBQ meat is fatty not lean. True, but where there’s a will there’s a way. And this is a great recipe, especially grilled. Rather than serving it with fried okra or… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
We’re getting closer! It’s down to 1 lb…and then I’m back at rock bottom. Hopefully THIS will be the week I can get off this plateau and get back on the losing streak! Until then, I present another tasty menu. This is so super easy…I threw it together on a whim one Saturday evening. My… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
The holding pattern continues. This week begins on a good note, only 2 lbs. up from my low. But my no-loss is your gain! I present to you a new family favorite, which was prepared by Matt a couple of weeks ago, and then again when my mom spent the night on Saturday! It isn’t… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
Well, the good news-bad news continues. The bad news is I’m still not officially back down to my lowest weight from mid-October. The good news is that I’ve maintained a 24-lb. weight loss for 4 months…through the holidays and some very stressful times that are ordinarily triggers for me to overeat, eat the wrong things,… Continue reading South Beach Update: Cookin’ on the Beach
Threads of Gratitude: New Jeans Edition
Today, I am grateful for new jeans. You see, these aren’t just any new jeans. These were way-down-on-sale jeans. Like $10, originally $50. These were also size 12 jeans. That’s right. Size 12. As in two-sizes-smaller jeans, I-haven’t-worn-size-12-in-14-years jeans, I-was-barely-squeezing-into-size-16-jeans-in-August-but-couldn’t-bear-to-admit-I-was-a-size-18 jeans. To me, these jeans are more than just confirmation that yes, indeed, I HAVE… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: New Jeans Edition
South Beach Update: Just Hangin’ On the Beach
I’m happy to report that the scale and I have reached a truce. We are now back on speaking terms. Our relationship is volatile and there are likely to be many more tense moments, but for now things are good. Not as good as I had hoped, but defninitely better than they were. And while… Continue reading South Beach Update: Just Hangin’ On the Beach
