I was messing around with the Granola Bar recipe from the Gourmet Nutrition cookbook this week, hoping to come up with something that would use the ingredients I had on hand and serve as a substitute for the tasty but not so healthy Nature Valley Sweet and Salty chewy granola bars my husband likes, and […]
Free copy of The Sneaky Chef for United Health membersJust stopping by before my workout to let you all know about a promotion that I just received via postcard yesterday from my health insurance company, United Health Care.
If you are a UHC member, you can get a free copy of Missy Chase Lapine’s cookbook, The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in […]
No workout this AM because I wanted to give my body a full 24 hours to recover and rehydrate from donating blood yesterday. I should be fit to go by tonight for my postponed 2K3 upper body workout. DOMS from this weekend’s upper body work has completely gone away, and I think I will attempt […]
Amyella’s Low-Cal Pumpkin Oatmeal MuffinsHere’s the recipe for the pumpkin oatmeal muffins I am enjoying this week. The ingredients have been modified by the brilliant Miss Amyella to allow you to have TWO dense, moist, delicious muffins as one carb serving.
Genius!

Microwave Apple and Pear CrispApples are one of the cheapest fruits available, but I get sick of eating them in their natural state pretty quickly. This recipe from the Weight Watcher’s Simply the Best cookbook is YUMMY. I usually break it down into 6-8 servings instead of four. Perfectly suitable as a carb portion, and the “normals” in your […]
10/18/07 Log: You can call me Ms. Spartan, thank you.139.4 lbs this morning pre-workout. 138 is just around the corner as long as I stick with my workouts and meals. It’s good to be consistently under 140 again after 6 weeks fluctuating between 141-144. (I have a whole calendar month of weigh-ins to prove it, too!) It’s taken a while, but I am definitely […]
