Accountability

ACK!  Its been almost an entire month since I last blogged. As far as cooking goes, I've not done a lot of it in that month. And if I have, its been recipes that are not new and are already posted here. Its been crazy.  And thanks to that craziness, I allowed FIVE (5) POUNDS to sneak back on! WTH??  I've gotten lazy. I'm not being so strict with my snacks and eating at night. I can guarantee that is the issue. I'm going to try to start tweaking my daily routine today to go back to the way it was!

Losing weight is the EASY part, people. I swear. Maintaining it is what is a killer. And as you know, I hate to exercise. There is no time for it in my life right now. An excuse, I know. But I hate it. So, to maintain, its going to have to be 100% diet and being attentive to what I'm eating and how much. I have to be accountable to myself.

And wouldn't you know it....its almost fall...which means baked goods & comfort food....pumpkin muffins, apple spiced bread, chicken pot pie, chili, pastas...  I will still allow myself to make my favorites, but not everyday and I have to remember that going back for seconds will result in going back to the store for a bigger size pants!

On the menu for this weekend is something grilled (hubby's choice) and Sunday night is Philly Chicken  Cheesesteak. I love this sandwich!  Here is the recipe and here is the picture and it is NOT my pic- its from the WW website:

Its simple and pretty darn tasty. I'll probably serve with raw vegies and a fruit salad.  Its going to be HOT here in KY this weekend, so anything that doesn't require turning on the oven is a winner in my book!
