One of the things about being on South Beach for so long is that I’ve noticed a definite shift in my tastes. Things that I would never have eaten before (like salmon, for instance), I am eating regularly and enjoying. And although I’m not nearly as daring as some, I have branched out of my… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Easy Eye-openers

Cookin’ on the Beach: Easy Eye-Openers
Well, we’re back to breakfast again. I’ve had time this summer to actually cook breakfast and have discovered some real winners. It’s amazing all the things you can do to dress up eggs! What I love about this recipe is it gives me the feeling of enjoying a breakfast burrito without the tortilla. OLE’ OMELET… Continue reading Cookin’ on the Beach: Easy Eye-Openers
South Beach Update: Time to Restart
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: 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
South Beach Update: The Line in the Sand
I’m sorry for not posting an update earlier today. You see, the scale and I are currently not on speaking terms. It all started last week. I realized I’d been unfaithful to the diet…and the scale, in the true spirit of Christian love, attempted to restore me gently. I admit I was chastised and humbled,… Continue reading South Beach Update: The Line in the Sand
New Years Resolutions: 2009
The calendar proclaims that it’s already Day 2 of 2009 and here I sit, with not a single New Year’s Resolution penned. I guess it’s time to remedy that. As I’ve said before, I don’t like making resolutions. It’s too easy to fail at a resolution: you break it, and you’ve failed. So since I… Continue reading New Years Resolutions: 2009
South Beach Update: A Tidal Wave of Sweets
I know, my update is a day late and a dollar short, but at least I’m updating. The last few weeks have been a struggle, and more than once, I’ve felt like I was drowning in holiday sweets and treats and fast-food drive-thrus. But by the grace of God, I am still maintaining my weight… Continue reading South Beach Update: A Tidal Wave of Sweets
South Beach Update – Givin’ Thanks on the Beach
Yeah, right. No way did I serve South Beach “Surprise” Mashed Potatoes at my Thanksgiving, or grilled sweet potatoes, or whole-wheat rolls or any of those oh-so-healthy and carb-light dishes. No, sirree. I made the real thing. Real mashed potatoes, ooey-gooey-marshmallowy sweet potatoes with real sugar and real butter, pumpkin pie with real whipped cream,… Continue reading South Beach Update – Givin’ Thanks on the Beach
