Losing It

This post has long been overdue.

I struggle with my weight. Yep! I said it, it is out there.

I am an emotionnal eater and looking back so was my grandma and even my Dad.

Did the Weight Watchers thingy 3 or 4 times and even if it gets better with time...I still have nightmares about green pepper cooked with PAM....eww!

I don't like going to meetings and I feel I never got the support I was looking for. The animator was awful; a skinny guy with 70's 3 piece suits whose worst food sin was vegetable soup....Really?

Did the protein shaky shake thing, lost 30 pounds and the weight started pilling back on as soon as I got off...Rats!

I bottomed out last year at Easter in Lake Placid, I had gained most of the weight back on and was freaking out about gaining more.

So Dr. Oz to the rescue! Not one of the un-tested food supplement he peddles everyday...Actually it was one of his guest who talked about this.

It is called Lose It! Available as an App or as a web site  RIGHT HERE  . It is easy to use FREE and believe it or not just inputing all the food I consume daily makes me lose weight!

Crazy!

Here's a pic of today's lunch

Delicious turkey salad with tons of veggies.

 

My secret ingredient? a touch of dill mustard mised with mayo. YUM!

 

Off to bet I go.

 

Be well friends :)

Friday the 13th

I don't know where that tradition (or superstition) came from but for about the last 10 years I have been having at least 1 pancake or crepe on every friday th 13th.

Legend has it that if you eat a pancake on friday the 13th you will have enough money throughout the year to pay the bills.

So what's not to love about that?

The bills get paid and you get to enjoy a delicious piece of carb heaven....with butter and maple syrup not table syrup or pole syrup(telephone pole syrup!). Boy do I love pancakes!

Not a lot of pancakes have crossed my hungry lips since I have been following the writings of Master Weight Watchers, but after a loss of 13 pounds it is well worth it and I will truly savour this splurge.

I have been encouraging all my friends to follow this delicious tradition but since most of your work friends just vanish when you loose your job (It's not just my job to call you people), I decided to write a post about it and spread the word!

So have yourself a couple of pancakes or crepes suzettes or flapjacks as long as it is round it will do the trick!!!
