2015 I decided to reduce my sugar intake. I finally reduced my sugar habit by the end of 2015. It was so difficult to kick sugar. I still work hard at it every day.
Jan 2016 I'm still on a low sugar diet & plan to be for the rest of my life.
I now buy many products like yogurt unsweetened and add my own natural sweetener.
I've been working on my weight & when 2015 ended I had lost almost 40 lbs.
Now to keep going & improve my health daily.

My version of Hash brown cups
The recipe I started with came from this blog.
http://littlebirdiebaby.blogspot.com/2011/10/tutorial-tuesday-linky-party-trio-of.html
Bird's Nest Breakfast Cups:
If you know me at all you know Colin & I; have life threatening allergies.
I tweak almost all recipes for many reasons but our allergies is the biggest reason.
Notes for others. I'm making 2 versions at the same time. 3 will be for us and 3 Colin our son. I made Colin's 3 with more potato, turkey bacon or polish sausage & rice cheese; he doesn't like to eat eggs.
My Version is below
Hash Brown Cups (GF, SF, DF, & Pork Free)
Potato mix
10 c shredded organic hash brown potatoes thawed (no soybean oil=SF)
4 t salt (sea salt ground fine)
1 t white pepper ground fine (organic)
1 T onion powder (organic)
1 t garlic powder (organic)
1 T carrot powder (organic)
1 T diced onion (organic) In my potato mix not Colin's
2 T EVOO extra virgin olive oil (organic)
1/3 c shredded rice cheddar cheese (SF, DF) I use Rice Vegan Cheddar flavor
1/3 c shredded cheddar cheese (SF, GF) for us
Egg mix
4 eggs organic free range & grain fed
1 T diced carrots (organic)
1 T diced red bell pepper (organic)
1 T diced celery (organic)
1 t dill weed (organic)
Meat
Bacon bits or 8-10 pieces of cooked Soy Free, Pork Free bacon, crumbled
or Polish Sausage- Gluten Free, Soy Free, & Pork Free
muffin tin (I use a jumbo muffin pan; makes 6 for us)
shortcake baking tin for Colin 6 for him no egg mix
In 2 large bowls. Take hash browns and mix in the salt, pepper, oil and 1/3 cup shredded cheese.
Divide amongst the cups in your muffin tin, making sure to grease tin beforehand.
Bake hash browns at 425 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until toasty.
Once they're finished, take them out and lower the temp of the oven to 350 degrees.
Add egg mix into each of the cups. Top with bacon and a sprinkle of extra cheese
Bake at 350 degrees for 13-16 minutes (or until the eggs are as firm as you like them).
Flip onto cooling rack to remove from shortcake pan.

Journaling below for my book of me. If you are one of my few follower please ignore the bad use of grammar. I'm just trying to get it down quickly.
I'm a huge pinterest fan. A place for a mind racing with ideas person to have so many of the ideas in one place but categorized as I see fit. The first time someone that knew me well & told me about it; I thought ummm I better not even take a look. I could see me overdoing it. The 2nd time she mentioned it; I took a look. It took less than a minute for me to beg her for an invite. Then I had to link it to my Facebook page. Umm no. Total strangers seeing my full name & photo of my family (my facebook photo) made me nervous. So I emailed pinterest & didn't ever receive a response. The next day I signed up then promptly unchecked it posting to my facebook page.
It's been a growing love affair every since the first day I signed up. Now I see total strangers boards & think we get along famously. LOL
There are days that I have to be disciplined &set the time or not log on.
So now I will write about the reason I logged on to Pinterest this morning was to pull up a recipe I want to try for breakfast. It's on my Easy/Fast on the Go Food ideas board.

Not Where I'd Like To Be...But Not Where I Used To Be
This sums up my weight loss journey. I've had some health issues & the medicine has caused me
to gain weight. My health is much better but the pounds not falling off. It's so much harder to lose
weight than it used to be. I'm trying to get healthier & stay that way. LOL It's like shoveling snow & its still snowing.
So my motto today is
Not Where I'd Like To Be...But Not Where I Used To Be

A+ for us
We travel 8 hours to a special children's dermatologist for Colin. We visited her this week while he was on Spring Break. He was doing so well we didn't have to see her in Dec. 2011.
G drove most of the way; although he was feeling bad. He napped in the car while we visited the Dr & did a couple of fun activities. I did not get to visit one of my favorite scrapbook stores. It was raining & G didn't feel well. I told him I had some great coupons & he would have to pay the difference on the next visit. He just smiled. :)
The Dr said he is doing really well. She said we get an A+. He has 1 small eczema spot (about the size of a quarter) on the bend of right leg. I told her the eczema, asthma & allergies all flair when he is sick. She said that makes sense because the bodies immune system ... is related.
I know that allergies, eczema & asthma are all related. I have too many years of personal experience. That is the reason I'm willing to travel as far and as often as needed to help him get better. I spare no expense when it comes to helping our allergies get better. We have huge air purifiers in each bedroom & family room. I cook organic almost every item we eat. I make his mac n cheese with rice cheese. I make him ice cream out of coconut milk. So many people look at me like I'm crazy, if I stay up to midnight baking cupcakes so he can have a dessert at the school party. They have no idea what it's like to live with life threatening allergies. I've worn long pants when it was 100 degrees because of horrible eczema on my legs.
I'm really getting off track but it really burns me when people say. I can't put little Sue on a gluten free diet; it's too hard. Seriously!! What I hear is it's too much of an inconvenience for me. I hear I don't care that my child's health would improve; I can't be bothered. Get over yourself people. Sometimes life is challenging & hard.
As a child, I remember my allergy doctor telling my mom to remove the carpet from my bedroom. She refused. I suffered issues from my allergies all of my life. Currently, mom will call me if they are going to cook fish, so I don't come visit.
When Colin's' eczema started the worsen, I (all by myself) took the carpet out of his bedroom, bedroom hallway & put down wood floors. Next, I did the family room. It's a very large room & I got help. G & my parents helped with that room. I did our master bedroom & my craft room alone.
I will remove the carpet in the dining room this year. I haven't decided what to do with the library; it's rarely used. I will remove the carpet in it too, just as soon as I decide what I want to there instead. I'm really leaning toward stained concrete.

things Colin says
Last night we were talking & he told me not to use reverse psychology. I asked if he knew what it meant. He said yes & explained it to me perfectly. I said I wish you would have done that well on you spelling word definitions this past school year. He said mom ... I think I embarrassed him.
During the school year he would do well on learning how to spell the words but he could not always write out the definitions to the words.
This morning he hands me a Gatorade 2 label to put in his scrapbook. He said it had Black History on it. There are 2 photos of Serena Williams on the label.
I'm debating if I'm going to the Gem Faire. I call it Bead Fair last year I went with my Sister S & it was fun. Of course I have used a single bead I bought last year yet.
This year S is unavailable & I'm not sure I want to go by myself. I don't mind shopping alone, she is more aware of a good deal on beads & gems. She makes jewelry all the time. I'm not as experienced.
I think I will go; even if I just look, it's great exercise. It's a ton of walking.

I love Oprah
I'm so sad that it's just a few shows left. To meet or attend the Oprah show was on my bucket list. :( It does encourage me to get busy on that bucket list. I'm not getting any younger. :)
I still have the dream left that I can one day meet her or be interviewed by her. She always says to dream big. Oh, I have very big dreams & I believe in miracles!
The show could ease up with the counting down numbers. Also do they have to play So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night song from the Sound of Music children. Yesterday they showed the clips of the Mary Tyler Moore show last min., Mash last min, The Cosby Show & ...
They are making me too sad.
I'll have an extra 40 min a day that I now watch the Oprah show. I usually DVR it & fast forward through the commercials. I guess now I can do something productive around my home or scrapbook. We shall see.
I wonder the guest of the final show. One comedian joked Jesus & John Travolta will fly the plane. I think it's cool Mr. President Obama asked to be on one of the last shows. If you want to see it it's Oprah's Farewell Countdown: Video 18. I'm watching them all in a row. Now I'm watching Video 19 Royal Wedding. Uh didn't really watch this show. I was so over the whole Royal Wedding the day the show aired. I think the media just milked that cow too much. Ok bored myself enough. Back to the videos. My husband calls Oprah my Shero. LOL Isn't the word really heroine (female hero). I'm already watching the OWN network & can't wait to see Oprah fly in her next endeavor. Love you Oprah!

3rd Snow day
We are snowed in for the 3rd day. Day 1 was fun, Day 2 kind of cool. Day 3 -Get me out of this house. There is snow up to our windows. If I got out the drive way I don't think I would make it very far on this street. My boss texted me to ask the closest main streets. I texted him back & didn't hear back from him. Honestly they is no way I could get to the closest main streets unless I had a ski outfit & skis. It's too freaking cold to walk beside the fact I would need some of those deep sea fishing boots.
Colin school sent plenty of homework they knew school would be out the rest of the week. He has played on his games, computer games & watched TV. We are all ready to get out of the house. It's too cold to build a snowman.
Colin just asked me what type of games did I play on the computer when I was a little girl.
LOL I was out of college before I owned my first computer & it was thousands of dollars.
G is still sleeping.

Weekend
I spent all day Friday at the CK Convention. I had a great time. Saturday G, Colin & I went to the BBall game. We had a great time. It was a lot of walking for G.
I've been on a cleaning spree. I've cleaned baseboards, ceiling fans, mopped, & etc. I love when my house is super clean. I just hate doing the work. :)
This morning Colin woke up sick. I hope he's better soon. I'd hate for him to miss school the 2nd week. We will do what's best for him & the children at school.

Heart goes out
My heart goes out to my co-workers that lost their jobs today. Too many good hard-working people gone & they did nothing wrong. Our company profits have been down & they've been making cuts for the last few years.
I personally haven't had a raise or increase for 2 yrs. Today I'm grateful I still have a job. Honestly every day I'm grateful I have a job.
One guy that is gone sat 2 desk away from me. I'm having trouble sleeping because I think of him & others I know. I know they have small children or which guys wife is still in school. I know it's going to be really tough for some people. I also understand that companies are in the business to make profits. If the profits keep declining decisions will be made that will affect some people negatively. I was in management for 10 yrs so I know it was hard for the people that had to make the decision or give the bad news. That is the part of management that I did not like. I'm sure know one likes it. My heart goes out to us all. It affects us all. Our company is a large employer in our town. This week 2 other company announced job cuts. It's tough times.
I know we will make it but it is still hard.

cool morning
I can tell fall is around corner. It was very cool this morning like fall.
I have to come up with a back up plan for my hair. I hate going into the cold & it's still wet.

YOGA BALL
I sit on a yoga ball at work most of the time. It helps to strengthen my abdominal muscles. The stronger they are the less my lower back hurt. Today I aired up my ball too much so my thighs are hitting the bottom of my desk & my feet are dangling. LOL I put a tool box for my feet to rest on & am having fun rolling around at my desk. I may get brave & try to let a little air out but not until I have a little more fun. I love bouncing to music on it. :)

Dancing machine
I never thought about the fact that Colin had never seen some of Michael Jackson videos. He's loves & of course is learning new dance moves. He's a little dancing machine.
I think it's sad when anyone leaves this earth. I remember seeing Farah's Noxzema commerical & her on Charlies Angels.
I remember seeing Michael Jackson in concert for the first time when I was approx. 9 yrs old. The Commodore's opened for the Jackson 5. I sure wish I had the ticket stub. I do still have Thriller & Off the Wall vinyl albums. It's in a box along with some other favorite vinyl albums like Steve Wonder's Song in the key of life. My sister Staci asked if I would sell the MJ albums for a million $ I said no. I now say if I get a million dollar offer for them, I will consider it. :)

Another Fabulous Year
Hubby changed the plans on me & we are having dinner w/ the family.
I wanted just us 2 to have lunch together. Don't get me wrong. Dinner w/ the family is fabulous, I was just looking forward to lunch w/ G only.
I'm going along w/ the program but told him next time he changes my birthday plans let me know sooner. Especially since I didn't have a real
breakfast & it's lunch time. I'm a planner & hubby is a spin on the dimer. My birthday is the one day in my mind that it's all about me. Now I'm hungry & cranky so I'm going to find some food.
I'm another year older & I think better. I'm finally getting a handle on
one of my issues, too much eating & too little exercise. All of my food allergies has helped. It's so much I shouldn't & can't eat. I've lost a few
more pounds. I'm 3 lbs away from my 2009 goal weight! Woo hoo!
I'll set a new goal as soon as I reach it. Maybe 5 or 10 more lbs. I don't want to go too fast because I want this excess weight to NEVER return.
I need to think of a really cool prize for myself for reaching the goal early.
The spa it is, especially since I was supposed to go to the spa as a celebration of my birthday.

Home Alone
I'm home alone & happy to have a minute to myself. I was to crop tonight but my allergies are bother me. It's good I stayed home because lightening struck the LSS & they cancelled tonight's crop. The store is not close to me so I wouldn't have been happy to drive far & not able to crop.
The guys went to my uncle's birthday party at Red Lobster. My severe seafood allergy doesn't allow me to go into Red Lobster. It takes about
5 min in a place like that & my chest starts to tighten & I have trouble
breathing.

WHERE WAS THE EASTER BUNNY
I asked Colin if he thanked the Easter Bunny this morning. He got up after noon. He said Where was the Easter Bunny when you saw him. I said I didn't see him but he left a little note. Glad he didn't ask to see the note. I told him the note said he wouldn't get a basket next time if his toys were left in the floor like they were last night. I also told him we need to talk to the Easter bunny about more healthy treats. Colin yelled No way, hmmm I interpret that to mean please don't. I said the bunny brought something other than candy in the past. When you were little, he would bring gold fish crackers & pretzels with a tiny bit of candy.
The truth is Easter bunny mom went scrapbooking yesterday. I bought some candy weeks ago & didn't buy much else. Last night EBM (Easter bunny mom) was tired. I was going to get up early but we had a horrible storm last night. I house alarm went off 4 or 5 times. Every time I had just fallen asleep. So I'm tired & dragging this morning.
Colin has seen the bag w/ the chocolate bunny & other candy. I told him I added some things to his basket. He actually had gotten into the small Hersey bars. He asked if he could have them & I sd yes. Of course I wasn't paying attention & vaguely remembered the conversation.
I made a basket for my nieces & a bag for my parents. A little something for G.
G is not feeling well today. He hasn't been well for over a week.
We are having dinner at my parents in less than 1 hour. I'm making pasta salad. My BIL loves it & I can no longer eat it. This being allergic to wheat & soy sucks. My being allergic to fish & seafood doesn't bother me because I've know all of my life. I love bread, pasta & Chinese food. I have to read every label carefully. I'm gradually getting rid of wheat products in my pantry.
I have all kinds of pasta. I guess I'll make manacotti for the co-workers on the next food day.

My being allergic to fish & seafood doesn't bother me because I've know all of my life. I love bread, pasta & Chinese food. I have to read every label carefully. I'm gradually getting rid of wheat products in my pantry.
I have all kinds of pasta. I guess I'll make manacotti for the co-workers on the next food day.

Feeling good
I feel so much better. Eating better & exercise is the key for me. I'm so proud of myself. I climbed 6 flights of stairs this morning. I wasn't breathing as hard as I was a month ago climbing 3 flights. Yeah I'm getting into shape.
K, mom & I are meeting at mom's house Sunday evenings to weigh. I wasn't going to weigh because my new jeans were a little snug. I was certain I had gained weight & who needs that downer. I decided to weigh & was delighted I had lost almost 4 pounds. I'm sure it will be back next week but I will not be discouraged today.
May goal is to climb 5 more flights this afternoon.
G is a little down because he's gaining weight. With the feet issues he can't be as mobile as he would like. I want to say quit buying pop & ice cream. I quit buying it years ago so he goes to the grocery store & buys his pop, ice cream & cookies. He's an adult & know he should eat better. I've emailed & shared countless literature on the benefit of certain foods for fighting cancer. Years ago when he was more fit & I was not; he didn't harass me so I will not harass him. Please pray for his feet, some days he gets very frustrated. I understand & wish it was more I could do to help him.

Fitness 09
I'm working hard to keep walking 4 flights of stairs twice a day. My joints hurt really bad Wednesday but I kept walking. I know their are people that can't walk so I don't want to complain. It's supposed to be 70 degrees today but tonight close to freezing. Never a dull moment.
Colin attended his first break dance class. He did great. He was a little lost in the beginning but by the end of class he had nailed the moves. They all get in a large circle & free style dance, at the end of class. Colin had a ball. He did his best moves, he was so cute. Most of the class is really advance. He cheered when several of them did head spins. He can head spin too; but I hate to see him do it. It scares me & I don't want him to get hurt.
G is still having the same feet issues. Yesterday he was in pain watching the big game.

Work in progress
My sister, mom & I started a healthy plan. We all want to lose weight & be healthier.
We weighed, measured & signed a contract with ourselves. This morning I came into work & a co-worker brought in donuts from an awesome bakery. So far today I've resisted. I hope they are all eaten soon. :) I did climb 4 flights of stairs. I plan to do 4 more in the afternoon.
G sd Colin was not so excited to return to school today. He is excited about gymnastics.
He did a backhand spring last week & I wasn't there because I was still at work.
I hope I get to see him do a back handspring today.
G's hands are much better. He still drops things from time to time but not as often. His feet still give him trouble. The Dr had upped the medication dosage but he's still having issues. He didn't sleep so well last night so he's napping today, since little precious is back in school. I hope he doesn't nap too long because he won't be able to sleep tonight.

ankles
It's so good to see my ankles. I've had issues with them swelling for months. They would start swelling at noon. At it's worst, by 6 pm it would be painful for me to walk or stand more than 10 min. This made it challenging to cook & clean around the home.
I feel so much better. It's good to be able to touch & feel the bones in my feet.
I've been so excited I've walked 6 flights of stairs for 2 days straight for exercise.
I got a lot of cleaning done this past weekend. It's amazing how cleaning & removing a little clutter makes the rooms appear bigger & brighter. I got a tiny bit done in my craft room.
This weekend the craft room will be my focus.
