Baby it's Cold Outside

Brrrrr....I woke up to -20* here in NW Colorado. This actually is not that unusual on an average we get at least 2-3 weeks of super cold weather every year around this time.  Way to cold to go outside, I think it's a good day to stay inside and work on something.

Have a Great Day!

Food Management Monday's



I've been following the Menu Plan Monday's over at http://www.orgjunkie.com/  for quite sometime and it has been very helpful with cutting the stress at supper time, however I decide about this time last year to cut back on my food in take and started going to the gym every other day.  I did pretty good until..... Here Come The Excuse!  I got a cold that never went away, believe me I had a cough for more than 5 weeks. I'd get better then I'd be sick again.  Sooo......that idea kind of flew out the window.  This year I decided to go with food management first and cut back on the carbs a little and add more vegetable and fruit to our meals and then I'll start going to the gym or start walking.
 This week my family will have

Monday- oven fried skinless chicken , tossed green salad, low fat dressing, green beans
Tuesday- grilled elkburgers(nearly no fat), baked beans, green tossed salad and canned peaches light syrup   for dessert
Wednesday- chicken gumbo over brown rice
Thursday - trimmed pork chops grilled, leek, carrots, snow peas, broccoli stir fry, and brown rice
Friday- goulash and family recipe using elk burger or lean ground beef, tossed salad, pears for dessert
Saturday- taco salad, eliminate the taco shell
Sunday- crock-pot roast beef (skim off fat), tossed green salad, steamed broccoli/cauliflower, jello for desert

Have a Great Day!

Happy Thanksgiving

I decided to cook a Ham for Dinner today at the request of DD2.  So we had Spiral Ham, Mashed potatoes and gray and pumkin pie.
This is the 1st time I have made a pumkin pie by scatch and suprisingly it turned out okay. I just followed the recipe from a can of Libby's Pumkin Pie filling so easy.

Have a Great Day!

I'm still not ready

Oh the Joys of Fall, Snow is in the forcast again!
So I decided today was the day!  My neighbor's cottonwwod trees are pretty much done dropping leaves
So I raked my patio, the driveway and the path to the dumpster,



but ran out of bags.  So I just made a pile and hope the wind does'nt blow -Yeah Right- until I can get to True Value to get some more leaf bags.

Hope you had a Great Day!

“A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned”

 

 

I count pennies and proud of it!  I find them in the washer, dryer,on the floor, in the couch it’s amazing how fast those little pennies add up. Actually, it’s the only currency that I’m able to save.

When my daughter ask for extra money. I point to my my penny jar,she rolls her eyes and says never mine.

What is it about pennies that teenager don’t think there spendable currency?

Have a Great Day!

I'm Not Authorized!!!!

I just got a reality check today and it hurt my feelings! I was trying to verify that my DD2 had medical coverage.

As you know my DD2 turned 18 last month it was the happiest day.
However-----

Today, I  found the time to set on the phone to wait to talk to a person about health coverage for her through her state provider, after some time I finally was able to talk to a human and I was told I was not authorized to be given any information concerning my daughter now that she has turned 18.

I was told by the rep that my daughter would have to call back to get the information I was looking for.

Funny thing is when DD2 called back and found out she needed to call another office to get the information I needed.  Go Figure--The hoops we jump through to get what???
Hope you all have a Great Day!

Am I obsessing again !

                                                                                    

I've been beating my self up lately about how I'm taking care of my body.

• over eating
• not exercising
• not getting the rest I need

I must get a grip and get back in the saddle!

Have a Great Day!
