Lunchie Munchie Time

So, I'm totally refusing to post the blog of our last Sac trip to see !!! since it's really just a ton of pictures of us drunkenly stumbling around the 28th block of Sacramento.  And I'm really not in the mood to rehash the drunk parts of that night. However, I will say that the Indian food we had was A-mazing! It makes me wish we had an Indian food joint around here for me to get Chana Saag at...yummm...

Anyway, onto some more foodie tales. As many of you know I'm on the Weight Watchers plan. So far I've lost 20lbs. Crazy...right? I never thought a diet plan could actually work for me. ANYWAY! Enough about WW.

Today I made a totally DE-LISH BLT minus the B. Since I don't have anyway and wouldn't really dare to buy any since I'd probably eat the entire package in one sitting...I looove bacon. None the less. I made this tasty sando with the following ingredients...

1 wedge of Low Fat, French Onion, Laughing Cow Cheese

2 Tsp of Lite Mayo

3 Slices of Tomato

1 Double Fiber English Muffin

1 Romain Heart

1 tsp of Mustard

1 Pinch of fresh ground Sea Salt and Pepper

If you're on WW this is a 5pt, super filling and delicious dish to put in your face. Also, I toasted my english muffin because I like warm sammies! Also, I have gotten a really good reaction to the French Onion cheese by both my BFF Lili and Hubzors, which neither of them are on WW they just both enjoy that cheese. So, I recommend you grab a wheel of it next time you're at the store. Did I mention we are whores for cheese? Cuz we are...lol.

TASTY!!!!

On a different note, I bought some caramels from Fusion Sweets back in December for our anniversary. They had some Thai Chili caramels that I knew Joel would DIE for, since he is in love with spice. Anyway, the other night while Lili was over we decided to bust them out. And before you get all cranky-pants about them being in our cupboard for 6 months just stop. They were still super chewy and soft and delicious as the day they came in the mail.

Anyway this is a picture of the Vanilla flavored caramel. Lili, Joel and I consumed the other 3 flavors the night before. I saw that there was one 1oz of it left and had to nibble on it...Okay I ate the whole ounce... Anyway, Fusion Sweets offers a variety of flavors. Our personal favorites are French Lavender Honey Vanilla Sea Salt Butter Caramels, Some Like It Hot Thai Habanero Butter Caramels, Chocolate Peppermint Butter Caramels and Sweet and Creamy Vanilla Butter Caramel. And I will be back soon to buy some of the scrumptious looking marshmallow to roast over the fire pit this summer...CAN'T WAIT!!!

Heartsy

So, I sent in my application to Heartsy.me and I would RE-HEALLY appreciate if everyone went over and voted within the next 72 hours HERE!

It would make my week if we could pull this out and get me the 60 votes.

Here's a sneak peak of my next blog...

I wish my photo editing software had a Weight Loss setting...I KNOW the internet has one...I've used it before.

 I'm like 90% sure this had something to do with the tree insulting Joel's shirt...I could be wrong though...

Until next time this will have to tide you over. And PLEASE VOTE!!!

I pooped my pants today...

I wish the title of this blog was a joke...but it's not.

As you may well know from my last blog post I'm on Weight Watchers. And on WW you get a certain amount of points. And in order to lose weight you have to stay within your points. Well, lets just say that I get 32 points and I eat 12 points between breakfast, lunch and a snack and then decide to have a few* glasses of wine with Lili. Wine isn't free of points. In fact it's around a point an oz. Last night I drank 20 points of wine. That means I drank more points than I ate...and if you're curious, Yes, I stayed within my daily point value. However, in being such a good dieter, I ended making myself quite sick. So, there you go.

*See an entire bottle.

Also, I still have a blog that is begging to get written but I don't really feel like it right now.

PEACE!

Weight Watchers...

About 3 weeks ago I decided that I would take the leap and start weight watchers. I've never really dieted, counted calories or frankly given a crap about what I put into my mouth. I'm not saying all I'm doing is hurking down cheeseburgers and fries, but I certainly wasn't thinking about how many tofu chick'n nuggets I was putting down my hatch.

First on the agenda was cleaning out the cabinets and fridge.

Some of the junk I nixed.

 I filled and entire trash bag with crap.

 I'm not going to lie there were a few things that weren't exactly healthy that I couldn't part with. Including my cupcake decorations (which do become parts of soaps and resin jewelry so it's not all bad), crisco and other baking supplies. I don't normally eat a lot of my own baked goods so it's not really a big temptation. Unless the sweets are premade.

I'm sure that there are probably some not so healthy things left but my husband is NOT on a diet, lol. He can lose 10lbs in one day if he wants. And If I don't keep him fed I'll have an entirely new problem that I don't want.

 Sugar and fat free puddings along with whole grain and low cal breads.

 Yes, I did mark point values on boxes so that I was fully aware of them.

More baking supplies.

So far I've lost 13lbs on weight watchers and am VERY pleased. I did have a gym membership but it lapsed today and Paypal screwed up during a transaction yesterday so I have to wait for that to get sorted out before I can re-up my membership.

I also used every last bit of my weekly splurge points this week due to an outing with our couple counterparts (blog in the works I promise). I've never used them all before, so I am a tad bit worried about losing weight this week. We'll see though I try to be honest about everything I eat and it's worked for me so far.

Blow Dryers & Tahoe People

REMINDER: Any and all photos can be clicked for a larger version.

So, Tonight was couples night. And yes! For once I'm actually going to get the post up on the same night! What a concept, right?

Anyway, Joel and I went to Costco the other day and saw that they had 2 $50 gift cards for $80 for the Truckee restaurant Moody's. Now, I didn't go in expecting to dislike this place...HOWEVER, Lili has been here before and...well, She's had better, haha. Gotta love my honest bff.

Now, if you're curious about the blog title, here goes...I decided to blow dry my hair after I got out of the shower, which I never do and absolutely fell in love with the way my hair looked. And second, I realized our couplezies bond is that we are all born and raised Tahoe people...who would've thunk? We're a rarity here.

Act Natural...Joel's all blurry..haha

So, I was super tired tonight, I don't know why but I'm not getting nearly enough rest lately. Still kind of on a bender from last week. I had 4 or 5 (not positive) cups of coffee while at dinner to keep awake, I'm still tired. I actually drank at least twice as much coffee as I did wine...weird huh?

See the coffee?

Anywho, So we probably waited around the bar area of Moody's for a good 5 minutes before the bar tender even looked our way. Which by that point Lili and I had decided to use the ladies room. Joel ordered a bottle of Zin which got picked up by the host (who looked like Steve Jobs, Black turtle neck and all) and then set down on the booth divider and then left to sit for about 10 minutes. Seriously, Wednesday night and we can't get decent service? So, annoying!

We managed to rope our server into taking a picture of us after the bartender had to leave the bar to open our bottle of wine.

OMFG...Can you day psychotic?

Cute!

Blind Girl conversation...Will these ever be funny to anyone but us? We may never know...

You know the bit.

IT took us like 20 minutes to get menus...good thing we scoped the menu online the night before.

Huh? What? 

I dunno...

SHWAWT?

We had some really tasty Hedgehog Mushrooms. No Hedgehogs were involved in the making however Polenta  and a sunny side egg was involved...HOLY YUMMERS!!!! Lili and I were thinking about licking the bowl. 

For serious?

I don't know what they're looking at...

Lili's BIG ASS PORK CHOP! It was super tasty and super huge. WE all had a chunk of it!

 My swordfish with mashed potatos, tempura asparagus and fennel.

I decided shortly into my fish that I didn't actually want fish...WHOOPS.

Joel's Rib Eye with Bearnaise and pom frite.

We traded plates halfway through but I only had one or two bites.

Stevesies Din-din...Vignetto.

So, Back to where we started. Lili and I like to take bathroom pictures...

Huh?

So, we had generally slow service and weren't treated super great. I probably wouldn't eat at Moody's again. Now, if I lived in Truckee I probably wouldn't rule it out as a dinner option. However, since we live at the lake I wouldn't eat here again, even with the implied 10% discount.

Now the runner up to the mushrooms was the dessert.

Lili and I talked the boys into letting us get the s'mores. 

The marshmallows were divine. It seemed like the entire thing was homemade. It was pretty much amazing but a little overwhelming sweetness wise. Also, the boys got a white chocolate peppermint creme brulee. Which the mint was OVERWHELMING as all get out. I tried to take a sip of wine after I took a bite and it tasted like I had just brushed my teeth. Also, it was a bit over egged. It's seemed like the Entree Chef has a bland pallet and the dessert chef over did everything. Not the best thing I've eaten for the price I'm sorry to say. I tried to like it. However I watched Lili making notes of the flaws, which I agreed with. We will NOT be back...Sorry Moody's we'll be taking our business elsewhere.

No for some funny bloopers of our couple counterparts trying to share a s'more, lol.

FIN

My day as a redneck...

So, a few Saturdays ago we had to drop of Joel's truck to get looked at again since he already had it fixed and it was acting funny again so he took in under warranty. We also had to go run some business related errands. We decided to take my assistant Mikey and Lisa decided that she also wanted to go so that she could get some feathers from Cabella's to make earrings with. While at Cabella's we decided that it would be a fun and hilarious idea to go to the "shooting" Range. I'm not a gun person by any means.

Get them thar guns ready!

Lili is so serious.

Mikey's got this! Joel keeps giggling!

Huh?

I think she got it...

I got's you thing that makes the squirelly move!

Lili actually didn't find the feathers she wanted which sucked. We then had to go to the dealership for Joel to drop off his truck and we decided that it would be a good time to take pictures in the car.

Mikey was pouting because Joel was taking FOREVER to take his car in, lol.

Pouting contest?

Finger stash?

Weirdos

Apparently Lili and I like to make the same face.

Lili doing some boob walking...

  I love Mikey's rubber face, HAHA!

Boob-side service

Lili has a boob fetish me thinks

Mikey is adorable-ness

After Joel dropped off his car he forced his way into the driver seat and drove us around on the errands.

When we were done shopping (and wandering around Wal-Mart, playing with barbies, and screwing with giant champagne glass vases) we decided to stop for a few snackies at Johnny Carino's.

Lili was quite warn out from being in Wal-Mart for a little too long. 

Mikey Hungie - Mikey POUT!

Lili perked up a little bit after she found an unattended poop in the ladies room. I'm not kidding...you can leave your comments and questions for her about the poops in the comment section below. She also made Mikey and I look at it with her...frightening. 

Fin.
