Zoo Boo Review

At Zoo Boo

In the Car

Tonight Holden, Iris, Jorie, and I went to Zoo Boo. Holden screamed the entire time he was in the car and Iris screamed most of the time she was out of the car. But they consoled each other in their time of need and held one another's hand.

Jello and Ready Whip!

So after the egg diet I went low carbs. I am actually still going low carbs. So I am on day six without sweets or even worse without bread, pasta, or pots. First my mom tells me I need to go p/u a birthday cake on Thursday for my Nana. This I don't mind except I am to be left alone with sweets? Not just any sweets but Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and apricot filling. Carrot cake is one of my weaknesses and then to add in the filling, I don't know if this is even fair to ask me. Then my husband asks me to go to the store and get him three fried pies and a couple of donuts. In all fairness he did clean the kitchen, grill out dinner for me, and do all the laundry today so he kind of deserved it. Plus we have had no sweets in the house and he is dying. Apparently I am the only one that can go buy sweets at the grocery. Then the final straw happened. My sponsor called and she fell of the wagon. She had a cereal bar and followed it down with a big bowl of cereal and MILK!!! In her defense it was Fiber One cereal (10grams of fiber) with skim milk and a Fiber One cereal bar (9 grams of fiber). I have been craving milk though. Everytime I open the fridge it looks at me and "moos", but the pitiful "moo" not that your fat "moo." I wanted to be strong, I really did but I was dying. So I told my husband I would go get his sweets. I figured I would find something I could have at the store. Well then I got to thinking about how last time my sponsor and I did low carbs we made jello shooters with rum (0 carbs), sugar free jello (0 carbs), and chocolate ready whip (less than 1 carb). Don't make fun, this was the best way we could drink, b/c you can only ave so many Michelob Ultra Lights before the carbs start adding up. I'm at the store, I grab my husband's stuff, some sugar free jello, and go to get the ready whip. NO CHOCOLATE READY WHIP !!! What the hell??? I looked all over and it wasn't like I was at Neighborhood Wal-Mart, I was at Schnucks. Schnuck has everything. I am still disappointed in that. Oh, I grabbed the regular ready whip. Came home, pour out the jello and cut it into pieces then topped it with ready whip. I had an orgasm in my mouth. I had never tasted something so good before. My husband waved his donut in my face and I could have cared less. Of course this was all due to the 6 days without sweets but still I didn't know jello and ready whip could ever be so good. Just some more ideas for you low carbers or diabetics.

Egg Diet Part II

By the end of day two I was craving sweets so bad. I needed something if I was going to make it any longer so I called my sponsor (aka my friend egg dieting with me) and she told me about Mock Danish. I bet that's a new one for most of yall too. I don't really know how good it is but I loved it that night. Very simple to make, few ingredients, and only take about two minutes.
1 Egg
1 tbsp Splenda
2 oz Cream Cheese
Soften cream cheese in microwave for about 20 seconds, stir in egg and splenda, microwave for another minute and a half. It was delightful after only eggs.
Anyways, all in all the egg diet worked out well. Grand total 6lbs three days! Not bad at all. Maybe I should just do that once a week but for only two days and eat healthy in between. Or maybe I should get off my fat butt and exercise. Either way, it is a good starter diet or if you need to just loose a few pounds (but who only needs to loose a few?) My next plan.......LOW CARBS - ADKINS STYLE!

The Egg Diet

So as I bitched to my friend the other night about being fat, yet again. (If I exercised as much as I bitched I would be skinny by now, but I won't, hence the eggs.) We went on and on about how hard it is to lose weight. It never use to be like this. If we tried we could always do it. Have we reached that point in our life where we have to exercise and eat right? Guess so. Damn we are only 25 I thought your metabolism didn't start really slowing down till 30. Of course we both blame it on our babies. People are right when they say after baby your body won't ever be the same. I know your thinking, "Isn't your baby 7 months old now." And my answer to you is @*&%$# YOU!!! Hell my friend's baby is 18 months and I still believe her when she says it' the baby fat. (We are in denial together and that's all that matters. Although me more than her b/c at least she has lost some weight.) Okay, back to my egg diet. So we need a quick way to lose weight, ya know a jump start. One that doesn't involve diet pills b/c they are $2.00/pill. (I think street drugs are cheaper than that.) So my friend says, "ya know you can lose five pounds in three days by eating only eggs. As unappealing as eggs sound I could do anything for three days. This diet works, OMG it works!!!!! By day 2 and 1/2 I was down 4lbs and that was weighing in the middle of the day and I had to pee. Can't wait till tomorrow. I will weigh myself first thing in the morning after I pee but before I drink or eat anything. Now I know you are thinking, "nothing but eggs?" Well, mostly. For example, today I had three scrambled eggs with cheese and salsa for breakfast with coffee with Splenda to sweeten. For lunch I had egg salad, and for dinner spinach and feta quiche without the crust. I will update you all Sunday with total number of pounds lost. But I highly recommend this for a jump start into losing weight.

Road Rules

Let me take a minute to vent about something so simple that just really pisses me off. As I am sure that no one cares but who knows, maybe there are a few out there that agree with me and want to run over bikers or maybe I'm just freaking nuts and need to be medicated. There are just a few things (okay that's a lie, there are alot, but most I don't honk and cuss at) that really irritate me besides people who can't work the self check out. (That's a whole new blog.) One of those few things are people who ride bicycles on the street when there is a perfectly good sidewalk next to them. #1....HELLOOOOO!!!!! we live in Memphis and as we all know people can not drive in Memphis and probably 1/4 of them have no insurance. So with that in mind doesn't that make these bicyclist kind of suicidal anyways? I hate that I have to slow down, turn my wheel slightly, or make any kind of adjustments to my driving because there is some (or numerous) idiots riding their bikes ten feet away from the sidewalk. What's that about? What's wrong with the sidewalk? And do you know that there were about four mid age males riding their bikes down the street the other day parrell to me. I came up on a red stop sign and just as changed to green I accelerated and almost ran into the four males because they thought they had right away I suppose and cut in front of my cars in the middle of a busy street. Of course, I honked and cursed them (with the window up although I'm sure those words can be lip read.) Then the males all flipped me of together. This was a joint flipping off which I don't think I have encountered. Then nerve. They were driving on the street in a bike, NOT A CAR, and tried to pass me and I'm in the wrong?

Healthy Snacks

So here are a few snacks for those of you dieting. (Isn't that everyone? I mean we are always dieting, right?) There are many more to come also. I will post as I try. First on the list are some Special K Orange Bliss bars. Have you ever had a chocolate orange? You fatties know what I'm talking about. You can get them year round and always find them at Walgreens. Well that is exactly what these taste like. I could have eaten the whole box but then I guess that doesn't make it a healthy snack huh? These babies have 90 calories and 2g fat. Two weight watcher points. Second on the list (Can you tell I started a diet Sunday, yes only Sunday, and have yet to have anything sweet besides grapes and 10g of fiber cereal? I was craving them today though) the wonderful people who brought you skinny cows have now come out with Skinny Dips. They come in two kinds of variety packs. I got the one with the mint chocolate in it. (I had just passed the mint chocolate drumsticks, which if you have never had one and like mint chocolate chip all I can say is orgasm in a cone!!!!!) These little dudes are either mint ice cream or vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate with 80 calories, 3g fat, and 2g fiber. Total weight watcher point: 1!! Highly recommend bot and remember like I said earlier if you eat the whole box, well, not as healthy.

Holden's fisrt Vehicle

So Iris gave Holden her Jeep! Very nice of her. So far we goes backwards more than forward but he'll get the hang of it. I think he knocked back a few too many bottles that day. Maybe he shouldn't have been driving.

Magic Potatoes

So I was in Wally World the other day and came across the ultimate lazy/busy person potatoes. i was hesitate thinking they wouldn't taste nearly as good just a baked potato in the microwave doesn't taste as good as one in the oven but for $2.50 I was going to try and see. It's a bag of 8 potatoes (red or yellow) washed and ready to go. All you have to do is put them in the microwave for 8 minutes. Take em out, add butter (of course), some sour cream, a bit of milk, garlic salt, and pepper. Total cook time 10 minutes!!! I give them a way big thumbs up!!!! These tings rock.

My baby is 5 months

Guess who is 5 months old today? Of course, the most handsome man in my house. Holden!!!He already had his celebration treat (a few sips of a chocolate milkshake) last night. This morning, however, he celebrated with turkey and rice.

Fish Boy

Here is starting out just like his dad. He's too young to eat fish but he can still dream of them and sleep next to them at night.

Jump-A-Roo

Well, not only is the person that invented the doggy door a genius but so is the person who invented the jump-a-roo. This thing is fantastic. Any of you who have kids know what I'm talking about. I can sometimes get a whole hour to cook and clean while my baby is entertaining himself. I put some cartoons on and he jumps and jumps. Not to mention it's so damn entertaining for me to watch him!

Doggy Door!!!!!

Whoever invented the doggy door is a freakin genius or had alot of annoying dogs either way I love them! Finally after nine months of being in my new house I can call it a home because it is now equipped with a DOGGY DOOR!!! That's right I never have to get up up to let me dog in or out. Yeah she could run out, play in the mud and tramps it through the house but who cares I'll have mostly tile through the house soon and I can mop it right up, or if I'm really lazy I can leave and the next day it will still mop right up. No stains!!
