Recipe and Chit Chat

WEIGH IN DAY!! lol!


Yesterday I did my inches, I really wish I would have done them the way I did with my clients back in the day, so far up from the knee, the thigh, the calf, from the wrist, the elbow etc... I DID however do the waist, the hips and the chest and thus far, just on these, I am down 14 inches.  Based on my clothing... more like 20 inches lol!


I have gone from a 1X-2X (in some things) OR XL if it had baggy legs and elastic waist, or sizes 16 (tight)-18 (which I refused to buy!) to a Medium and a lot of my old clothes that I refused to get rid of.  Large is baggy and all the other sizes are HUGE now lol!  Feels good but, I am NOT there yet.


Last weekend, I was told, no, you should just stay at this weight, not a chance!!! Based on my bone structure and the doctor's chart, I am STILL about 60-65lbs over weight.  And I agree.


I am at a steady weight loss of 2lbs a week, based on eating from ALL the food groups (NO sugar is NOT a food group!) and exercising for one hour, 3 days a week.


If I WANT to lose more per week, I can, I just have to increase the workout time to 2 hours, 4-5 days a week and I would probably drop 4-5 lbs a week... but, do I want to?  Yes and No.


I want to cause I want the weight gone!! lol!! But, do I PHYSICALLY want to?  We will see.


Now on to a recipe!! lol!

Almost Crustless Quiche! ===> Recipe!

We usually make this completely crustless when we are at the cottage, its simple, quick and ready to go in the morning... I usually would portion out servings and then wrap them individually for convenience... and remember NEVER use aluminum foil on these babies!!! it will make your Quiche turn dark, almost black!! ewwww!!!

So here is a new family fave to share with you  :o)

Exercising at Home VS Elsewhere....

I have heard/read where people will say.... "You don't need to join a gym, you can do everything at home!"


Ah, no, that statement is NOT accurate for everyone... oh it might work for some folks but, I so dislike big, broad bushes *if you haven't noticed that by now* lol!

Which Came First... The Egg or the Exercise?

On my morning drive, I saw a fella I know that rides his bike, a considerable distance I might add, to get to work everyday.  And I noticed, he is still VERY MUCH overweight... and that got me to thinking about how many people set themselves up for failure. 


Consider this if you will....
