The Polar Express

We took Mason to the Polar Express tonight and it was AWEDOME!! Mason had so much fun! I got a great picture with Mason, Santa, and Mrs. Claus. I plan to use it for our Christmas cards this year. I asked Mason what was his favorite part and he said, "Eating the cookies!" Go figure!! If you have never been I would highly recommend it. We sat in the Silver Maple car...oh and go at night so you can see the lights!!!

Whoo-Hoo!!

Make that 15 pounds and counting! I would like to share a yummy receipe that I got from my good friend Michele Shepherd. I'm not sure how many points it would be (if you are doing Weight Watchers) but I'm sure it wouldn't be many! Enjoy....

Taco Soup:

1 lb lean hamburger meat or deer meat
1 packet of ranch seasoning
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 can of whole kernal corn
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of rotel tomatoes
1 can of kidney beans
1 can of black beans
1 can of water

Brown meat and drain. The black beans and the kidney beans will need to be drained as well. Combine all ingredients in a pot and heat. I let mine cook on medium heat for about 30 minutes or so. Serve over Tortilla Chips or Fritos and top with cheese ( I used Fat Free cheese). It is so yummy and very quick! Perfect for these cold nights!! If you try this let me know what you think!

What's New With Me?

Well, once again it has been a while! I'm not the only one though...lots of my friends have let their blogs get outdated! I hope to do a better job. Maybe that will be my New Year's resolution? Or not....

Anyway, not too much has changed since the last post. I'm way behind on pictures so maybe I'll get some up soon....does anyone even look at or read my blog? Just wondering....

I've decided to make some changes in my life. I have started doing the Weight Watchers Program. To date I've lost 13 pounds and hope to get a bit more off! My co-workers saw the difference and 4 of them have joined me on this journey! We are each other's little pep team...we try to keep each other motivated! It's nice to have others to support you! Thanksgiving really sent me into a tail spin though! For any of you that might want some ideas for healthy receipes just visit www.skinnytaste.com. Gina's got some great stuff on there and it has really helped me out.

By the way...if anyone happens to read this post a comment so that I know I'm not just talking to myself!!
