Weight Management Monday 2.08.10

by A Thrifty Geek on 02/08/2010

I am begining to think that Super Bowl Sunday is as big of an eating holiday as Thanksgiving.  Snacking all day long.  But I am so thankful that I was able to find some great recipes that were “football” food but still on my diet.  As you know I am doing the low carb diet and it has been hard since basketball season for our family is in full swing, but I think every little effort helps. 

I found this recipe that I wanted to share with you. It is a South Beach Phase 1 recipe and is great.

Buffalo Chicken Bites.  YUM  click here to get the recipe.

As  far as an update on my weight, I am doing well.  No great loss but no gain and my clothes are fitting loose inwhich I am very happy.

Try this dish. You will love it.

Did you see the Super Bowl last night?  Denny’s is giving away a FREE Grand Slam Breakfast Feb 9 from 6 AM – 2 PM . They did this a while back and the response was HUGE. I am excited to see they are doing it again. My daughter and her friends went from college and the line was so long that the manager was giving out rainchecks for them to come back another day. I would take a raincheck.   I went to the website to find the nearest location and while I was there I signed up for the Rewards program.  When you do this you register for a chance to win a Grand Slam Breakfast for year and also you get a FREE burger and fries to the first 500,000 that sign up.  Whoo HOO!! Free food. Click here to sign up for the rewards program.

6 more weeks of Winter!

by A Thrifty Geek on 02/03/2010

Ok, I am a little late in saying it but I just heard it.  I must of slept through Groundhog Day.   But this is what my great nephew Owen thinks about it.

Spring can not come soon enough!

(his mommy says he was actually happy, she just could not catch the smile on the camera.)
