It has been a wintery spring here in the Bay Area. March was one of the rainiest months I’ve seen in years. So far April has been cold, but at least we’ve had lots of sunshine. But did I say its been really cold?! We’ve also had lots of junk food! (Or at least I [...]

March so far

This is the view down the hill from my backyard. This picture was taken the morning after the bay area was supposed to get snow. Those white roofs are just because there is frost, no snow. Boo!! Time flies. What have I been up to lately? Of course the usual things – work, school, gym… [...]
Cookin’ Soup!
Posted in General on February 19, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Check out that snow! Its not every day we get snow in Contra Costa County. Maybe its the cold weather, but for some reason, I’ve been on a soup-cookin’ tear lately. I found a couple recipes I LOVE and have been playing around with them. One of my new fave’s is Fall Pinto Bean and [...]

A couple weeks ago I had an appointment in the city, so while I was there I stopped by the Mariposa Gluten Free Bakery Kiosk at the SF Ferry Building for some gluten free baked goods. Mariposa has AWESOME gluten free stuff, including a wide variety of vegan, soy free and dairy free items. I [...]

Last week I won The Gluten Free Homemaker’s Kinnikinnick Doughnut Giveaway. The doughnuts arrived today. I felt a little bit like a celebrity. When the box arrived, I was so excited!! When I found 5 (yes FIVE) boxes inside I was literally clapping and jumping for joy! By the time I realized the doughnuts had [...]

This year I was at home, snuggled up on the sofa when I rang in the new year. I was sick, and had been in the hospital the night before (all is well now). So, we kept it simple. We went to Tahoe Joe’s for prime rib and then watched Grown Ups. We also had [...]
The No Gain Pledge – Result
Posted in Food Journal, General, Holiday Eating, tagged holiday, holidays, low stress weight loss, no gain holidays, no gain pledge on January 2, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Last month I took a pledge to get through the holidays without gaining weight. I don’t usually do the “challenge” thing since I am commitment-phobic. But the pledge was invented by world famous Sarah at LowStressWeightLoss.com and it seemed like an achievable, worthy goal so I signed up immediately. So, how did I do? I [...]
Merry Christmas!

Yes, that is what I said! Merry Christmas! You know its my style to be fashionably late, so just say “Thanks! Merry Christmas to you too!” We’ll see if I get the New Year up before Valentine’s day. For me, Christmas started when my mom came for a quick, surprise visit. We met at my [...]
The No Gain Holiday Pledge

How am I doing? I have fluctuated A LOT over about 4-5 pounds, but I haven’t posted a net gain from the day I made the pledge on November 22. We’ll see how I do over the next 2 weeks.

I had the most amazing Thanksgiving meal, all gluten & dairy free!! I realize its almost Christmas, but I’ve been busy and haven’t had a chance to post the Thanksgiving update. I went to my sister’s house where the views were beautiful and the food was lovely and (mostly) allergy free. It was a great [...]
