Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's

Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party.  It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her.  Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th.  I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time.  One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table.  I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time.   People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...

2/13/12- Food Journal

Well I was on my own for the day.  This is always the Mr's time of year for random just after the new year projects at work so he worked out this morning and is eating dinner at work.  His looked so good I decided to make it for myself.  Let's dig in shall we?

For breakfast I had a bowl of Special K Blueberry cereal and scrambled eggs (2 whites, 1 egg) with caramelized onions and parmesan cheese.  It held me a good long time!


For lunch I had my tuna fish lettuce wraps (2 tbsp Miracle Whip Light & scallions) with raw veggies and 1/2 tbsp of dip.  A golden delicious apple with apple dip, fruit salad (grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe and pineapple) and a Trader Joe's apple cereal bar.  Iced tea to drink, of course.  I told you, lunch is pretty standard.  :-)


Dinner was leftover beef roast tacos with enchilada sauce and a serving of sharp cheese with a side of brussels sprout and onions.  Iced tea in the background.


I'd show you my snack but that's coming tomorrow so I can't show you!  Tune in tomorrow for a decadent little treat that fits into well planned calories.

  3. Looks delicious! It's so interesting seeing what real people eat during their weight loss. And I love the fact that you eat real meals, and not e.g. Protein bars. I also like your photograps, thank you! :)

  4. Oh, I wondered how the Brussels sprouts experiment turned out. Guess you liked them, since they are still on the menu. I agree with the others, your meals look so appetizing!
