Pressure Cooker Siciliana Meatballs

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
