Pressure Cooker Chili

I have talked to several people about pressure cooking food. I am always amazed that so many think the pressure cooker is taboo when it comes to making a delicious meal. 


I do understand their fear about the cooker exploding or blowing up in their face. I had the same thoughts and for years, I refused to use one also. But today, the pressure cookers have so many safety

Lose It! Week 5 Results!

We have been on LOSE IT for 5 weeks now.




I really thought this would be the week that I would meet my goal of 125.

WRONG!!

It was a tough week to stay on track. 

I had 2 dinners out with Don. 

We had Meagans rehersal dinner.


We had the wedding reception and on Sunday

We rode the motorcycle to Dekkers and sat on the patio, listened to music and ate some of the best food ever.

Honestly, I am shocked that I didn't gain back more than I did.  I did make myself exercise as much as possible, and thats what saved me. 

Thank goodness for my trusty treadmill!


I started the week on Monday  at 127.5





Tuesday weigh in -128

Wednesday weigh in-128.5

Thursday weigh in-128.5

Friday weigh in-129

Saturday weigh in-129.5

Sunday weigh in-129

Monday weigh in- 129




I GAINED a pound and a half this past week. OOPS!!!

But still under 130, so I am happy!

Getting back on track this week. Thats why I love this program. It keeps me informed of what I am eating, exercises, calories burned, calories needed to burn to stay on track, and how to get right back on track. I joined a couple more challenges this week to keep me there. So we will see at the end of the week how it goes.

Don is doing great. He started this program at 226.5 and is down to 217. He is really happy about it.

On to week 6.

Lose It! Week 4 Results!

This fourth week on Lose It has been a little harder. I really wanted to eat a lot of stuff that I knew I shouldn't. I guess these last few pounds aren't going to be that easy.



Lose a pound, gain a pound. But at the end of it I am still down. So that makes me very happy.

The problem, I think , is when you start losing weight, - Lose It-  automatically knocks more and more calories out of your daily

This Weeks To do List 9-21-14

Last week I did manage to get most everything finished. I only got in 3 miles instead of 6 and only 2 of hours of Tae-bo.  I was going to bathe the boys but they really didn't need it so I put that off. Other than that, I pretty much finished everything else.

This week I plan on

This Week's To Do List 9-14-14

I did manage to get most everything on my last list finished.


 The only thing I didn't get finished was 2 of my 6 miles. My knee got to hurting pretty bad and was swollen so I didn't dare finish the final 2 miles. I did go get some knee packs to use on it.

Getting Back On Track!

Hi everyone. I am so far behind on my blogs. Why? Life! Lots of ups and downs but hoping to get at least partially caught up soon.  

One thing I miss doing is blogging my to do list. I find that when I put things on the blog, call it what you want, but I feel like I need to be accountable for the things I say I will do. Almost always get it all done even if I don't feel like it. Especially with my exercising. I was doing great for so long, but I also realize, it was during the things that I would post what I would be doing, that I did my best. I haven't done that for sometime and just can't seem to get back on track. 

So, I am going to start posting my chores and exercises again. Holidays are coming up and I don't want to go into them with hating the way my clothes feel when going to the Christmas parties, friends get togethers and company coming. So its time to get back on track. 




Between today and Sunday, I will walk no less than 6 miles. I am part of the 100 miles to a Merry Christmas.  For every mile you walk, you donate $1.00 to a charity for Christmas. I have always walked a lot of miles a week so this is easy for me to do. I put a movie in, jump on my trusty treadmill and two hours later, I have 6 miles under my belt. :) 



I will also get in at least 1- hour of Tae-bo.


Also before Sunday I will get upstairs all vacuumed, dusted and cleaned up. 



I will also get all laundry finished by Sunday



Grocery Shop



Go to Post Office  

and mail a couple packages I have been putting off doing



That should keep me busy, plus anything Don might have planned for this weekend. 

Well, I feel better already.

My Friday is shot because we have to take Cody for his final checkup to Lufkin. Over 3 hours down there and over 3 hours back. But he's sure worth it. 






Wish me luck!

Best Garage Sale Ever!!!

We were celebrating Don and Jacey's birthday yesterday.

 I needed to run to Heb to pick up a couple last minutes things. On the way there, I saw a garage sale sign.



 I drove right on by it, as I just very seldom ever stop at one, and I was in a hurry. Plus, I just figure the really good stuff is gone by 10 am. But something just said to go back. So I
