Okay the geeky office girl in me likes GraphJam.com because it combines things like sayings, quips, music and movies with graphs and you get some pretty funny results (as shown below).

1 English Muffin
5 G Butter
112 G egg white
2 slices Jones Farm Dairy Canadian Bacon
Get small skillet nice and hot. Spray with a little cooking spray and then pour in egg whites. Salt and Pepper to taste. While that’s cooking, toast the english muffin. When you flip the egg whites (try to keep them in one piece if you can), add the Canadian bacon to the pan so it can warm up.
When muffin comes out of the toaster, split the butter between the two halves, put 1 slice of Canadian bacon on each half. fold up the egg whites and put on one half of the muffin. Flip other half on top.

NOTES: Depending on your calorie levels, you could use a whole egg. What I like about my version of the is that I get a lot higher protein ratio, I get less fat overall and it still satisfies the craving. Not to mention I get two pieces of Canadian bacon, because you know it’s really about the Canadian bacon. This also makes a quick dinner too.

I’ve been working on my dieting repetoire and some of the things I come up with are just pretty darned tasty. The latest creation is an Egg Muffin (think like McDonald’s Egg McMuffin) that has less fat, more protein and TWO slices of Canadian Bacon.
Check out my Recipe Site to see what’s cooking in my kitchen!
This dieting thing is paying off too. As of this morning, I’m down 71 lbs from where I started this weight loss journey 4 years ago and I’m down 31.2 inches overall. This is the least I’ve weighed in at least 20 years. Go ME!!!

I’ve completed my first month of working with Leigh again. All I can say is she totally rocks and knows her stuff when it comes to fat loss. I’ve lost 13.6 pounds and 17.75 inches. I’m freaking stoked at this point.
Things I’ve learned in the last month:
- There are healthier alternatives to most of the foods we like – see my Clean Eats Site
- Busting your ass in the gym is not necessarily the best option for losing weight. You have to eat for your level of activity and if you’re throwing around a lot of weights due to strength training, you’re going to have to eat more which will slow down your fat loss process. I remember how frustrated I’d get last spring when I was definitely shrinking, but the scale wasn’t moving. Now I’ve got both scale movement and shrinking going on.
- Stretching/Mobility exercises and foam rolling
are essential to the overall program. You need to do these things to keep your body in good working order.
- If there isn’t a healthy alternative, I can work the foods I crave into my daily plan but I have to stay within my calorie count.

I got this from my friend Krista. It rocks.
1 pkg broccoli slaw
1/2 purple onion diced
1/4 cup Cilantro chopped
1/2 cup Newman’s Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing
Beef Steak grilled how you like it.
In bowl mix Broccoli Slaw, onion and Cilantro in bowl. Add Dressing and stir to coat (if you want more dressing you can add it). Put in the fridge for an hour.
While salad is chilling, you can grill the steak. I used a piece of tenderloin that was seasoned garlic powder and pepper and grilled rare.
