bon soiree brunch

A little party at work

A Tex-mex treat

All LowCarb!

 
Spring fever is rampant here!

A classy classic

 
Guess who won a treat?
Me - 2nd most hours worked...
And look at all the time I took off this year!

 
Picked the RayBan wrap-around style sunglasses
because I am old.
And need polarized side-UV protection.

Monster w/protein
Creatine, water. Coffee w/hot chocolate
Brunch ala above 
Coffee w hot/chocolate for dinner (not too hungry.)
4,000 steps and 
Washed the truck by hand. Cleaned it out, organized my supplies.
Getting ready for the trip! I've got a date with a Pelican.
The one who started it all one year ago!

If anyone doesn't know the story, I started a LowCarb diet one year ago.
While on vacation in the Grand Canyon, I got stuck behind a major snow storm.
After several days of no electricity, not a lot of food, and lots of hiking, 
I came home 15 pounds lighter!

March 2009
205 + pounds
Just a guess - I never weighed myself!

  4. *drool* I love jalepeno peppers. A friend of mine showed me how to mix in the juice with nacho cheese once. If I have cheese with jalpenos, I do this now.

    It is a wonderful feeling winning prizes! Congratulations!

    You have done such a fabulous job on your journey!

  11. Ok, you have me salivating, now!! And, while I am extremely disappointed that you did not go with the Audrey Hepburn/Carol Channing model of sunglasses, these look very cool...even on an old "coot" like you. (I should be so "old")

    "You look Mah-vah-lus, Dahling!"

  14. Love the new shades! Good on you!

    No bifocals? Vision improved? My fingers are crossed. I don't have bifocals, although they were prescribed. I had it filled and couldn't see to read. Now I just take my glasses off to read. You've given me much hope, Wok star!
