It's Monday

I am still learning how to do this.  I would like to put other peoples blog on the right side of my blog, since I follow several and they are so helpful.  But I don't know how to add to my site.  Some of your blogs are wonderful but intimidating because you have figured it all out.   So I have asked my smart daughter to help me. She is a consultant for Stella and Dot Jewelry and has an Open House tonight, so she will help me after, her life settles a little.   As I think I said earlier, since I am have turned 60, I want to keep myself current and relevant and so learning how to do this is important to me.

Yesterday our beer can chicken was a success.  I wish I liked chicken more.  It is not a go to food for me.  I find it 'diet-like' and bland.  Unless I can hide it in sauce or mayonnaise, I would chose beef over chicken anytime.  But this was good and I will use the white meat today in a salad or something.  I made cole slaw and grated broccoli in it, using a home made dressing which was great.  I also made Purple Rosy's (http://purplerosy.blogspot.com/) cream cheese muffins which were good but not quite sweet enough.  I didn't have the xylitol so used Truvia.  I have ordered Nature's Hollow jam from Amazon as I can't find it in my area.  That will make them a little sweeter.  But they are a great addition to my meal choices to grab and go.

I had more than 2 glasses of wine last night, unfortunately, a bottle of wine split between two people is more than 2 glasses, so will back off the wine. I know that has slowed my weight loss in the past.  My husband and I love the evenings outside with a good bottle of wine, the water fountain running, the dogs sniffing around and just fun talking.  So I will switch to Zero Sobe Lifewater to make the habit transition easier.

Today I will bravely post this blog on the Facebook Belly Fat Page so more people will see it.  That means I'm committed to the life style change and blogging.  It also means I can thank those who do blog and inspire me.
