Chili Cheese Eggs
Share YUM. I must start this post off by telling you how totally in love I am with green chiles, you know the kind, especially if you are from Colorado or New Mexico. These are special green chiles and come from New Mexico and Southern Colorado. They come in varieties like Pueblo, Dynamite, Hatch, Pueblo Mosco – those are the best ones.

Breaking the Weight Loss Plateau – Change it Up
I am at 38 pounds lost which means, I broke the plateau! What did it take? A change up in my exercise routine, just like everyone told me! I started with swimming and water aerobics.

Resistance bands, medicine balls, cross cable machines, rowing, tug of war ropes, and so much more.Here is a video taken in the Red Zone: Post by Club USA. I…

My Weight Loss Journey – Plateauing
Created by MyFitnessPal – Free Weight Loss Tools I have lost 33 pounds in the last 5 1/2 months. It feels great but I still have a ways to go. The problem: the last 6 weeks I am only losing .5 pounds a week! I guess this is what they call plateauing. I knew it would be coming sometime, everyone warns you. I am taking it in stride. My jeans are so baggy so I know that the weight is not always the best indicator. People have mostly said that when you hit a plateau, kick up your workouts and change them up too. So that is what I am…
My Weight Loss Journey – Slowly but Surely
My new theme: Slow and Steady wins the race. Since I started this journey, I have hit a wall of sorts. I have been losing a 1/2 pound per week for 4 weeks now. Frustrating to me but ultimately I know that losing it slowly will result in it staying off. I also need to consider that I have been strength training and building muscle. MOST importantly, however, is discipline. I have thought about it and ultimately it was a few factors that have led to the slow down in weight loss recently. 1.

Who would it be? Who’s name kept coming up over and over again? Oklahoma Joe’s of course! Hands down the #1 place…
