Autumn Sangria
Ingredients
2 bottles cheap red wine (Merlot, cabernet, shiraz)
1 bottle ginger ale (diet)
1 cup sugar (Splenda)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp ground clove
2 to 3 apples
4 to 5 cinnamon sticks
Directions
In a medium pot, combine red wine, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Let simmer for ten minutes, stirring occasionally until sugar is dissolved.
Pour immediately into a sealed pitcher or other container. Chop apples and add them along with the cinnamon sticks to the mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
For a more carbonated punch or mimosa, add the ginger ale to the wine after it's cooled ... then it will keep the fizz

Pumpkin Cake
If you like pumpkin pie, you'll love this cake's subtle spice flavors and velvety cream cheese frosting. The slightly sweet and mild pecans add a pleasant crunch to the smooth frosting. Pumpkin-pie spice is a combination of warm spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and mace. Use it to enliven applesauce, vanilla ice cream, or tea.
Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 1 slice)
Ingredients
Cake:
Cooking spray
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar (I used Splenda)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar (Brown sugar Splenda)
1/4 cup canola oil (applesauce)
1/2 cup egg substitute (applesauce)
2 large eggs (egg beaters)
1 (15-ounce) can unsweetened pumpkin
2 cups all-purpose flour (about 9 ounces) (100% whole wheat)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons pumpkin-pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
Frosting:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 (8-ounce) package 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
3 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons fresh orange juice
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted (walnuts)
Orange slices (optional)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
To prepare cake, coat 2 (8-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray. Dust pans evenly with 2 tablespoons flour.
Combine 1 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed 2 minutes or until well blended. Add egg substitute and eggs; beat until well blended. Add pumpkin, beating until blended.
Lightly spoon 2 cups flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, and next 3 ingredients (through salt) in a medium bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture, beating just until blended. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes on a wire rack. Remove cake from pans; cool completely on wire rack.
To prepare frosting, beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until blended (do not overbeat). Add juice, stirring until blended.
Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Spread 1 cup frosting over layer, and top with remaining cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top of cake. Sprinkle with pecans, and garnish with orange slices, if desired.

85 lbs gone...
but I really don't see a difference in the mirror. I know that there have been physical changes, I can 'see' them in the way my clothes fit and in the tape measurements of my body. I can also see it in my face in certain photos. But when I look in the mirror... I'm still a nearly 400 lb Hubba Bubba Chubba. I think it's going to take a while for my self image to catch up with the scale.

My pants are starting to look ridiculous
But, I suppose that's a good thing! They are saggy in the butt, loose in the waist and over all just too big. I went to The Avenue just to try on some jeans, I was curious if I could fit into a smaller size yet. I took 26's and 24's into the fitting room. I started with the 24's praying I could squish into them... SUPRISE!!!! They fit comfortably, no jumping up and down or sucking my gut to get them on. So, I grabbed 22's... could I possibly pull this off? I expected to lay down or grab a friend to yank the zipper up, lol. But again, I got them on. They were def snug, maybe just a smidge too snug, but if I am going to keep losing, I might as well get the smaller pair. Right? That's 5 pant sizes since May. I was wearing a 32 and now I can fit in a 22! I am so excited, now if I could just afford to buy a pair. Oh well, maybe by then I'll fit into a size 20....

Just sayin...
Do you have a friend who uses this term ALL THE TIME? Are you an offender yourself? I looked the phrase up on Urban Dictionary "A phrase tacked on to the end of any bigoted, biased, hurtful, wrong or simply stupid remark. The speaker tacks on the phrase with the intent absolving themselves of any guilt or argument over the statement."
I never really noticed the popularity of this phrase until somebody used it on me. I can't give a direct quote because I am still quazi friends with the person. (Quazi? I think I just made that up) Well, anyway they said something pretty hurtful and followed it up with "Just Saying". From that day forward, I have have been uber aware of its useage. I hear it in daily conversations and see it often on Facebook. I use it myself now, mostly to see if it provokes people or as an inside joke between the DH and I.
Is there a phrase that irks you? Tell me about it you big dork, Just sayin....

A new program...
Hey all, it's me, I'm back and I have news to share! I am going to be working with Dr Roizen on my weightloss. Do you know who that is? If not, are you living under a rock? Google him! Anyway, he has offered to coach me via email. I have to send him my daily food journal and how many steps I take each day. I also need to change my diet pretty significantly. Some of the things I can't eat include trans and saturated fats, so no 4 legged animals and their fats. No added sugars, syrups. Only 100% whole grains. This should be interesting. I also need to work on reaching 10,000 steps a day. I have to report total steps daily too. Wish me luck!
