The catch-up continues! Here goes! WEEK TWO The Food Week two brought on a lot of changes, all of which were definitely for the better.   I was no longer stuck to thin liquids and I suddenly had a whole new variety of food opened up to me.  I was able to eat pudding, protein shakes (I also was able to …

Also… why did you just come along when I won’t be needing you for very long? I admit it, tonight I ate at McDonald’s.  I know I just moaned the other day about my weight but I did say that it might not be today that I sort my shit out. One thing I have to say, when you don’t …

In order to start with my fertility treatments I had to lose over 80 lbs.  Here in the Netherlands they won’t give you hormone treatments unless you are beneath a certain BMI, due to the risk of hypertension and other complications.  I did really well for about 1.5 years, but I had no idea how difficult it was going to …

For a while now my friend Barbara has been trying to lure me into her favorite Chinese restaurant to try Dim Sum.  She had already introduced me to the world of sushi, and when she heard I had never tried Dim Sum either, she was a woman on a mission. Today we finally got together for lunch so I could …

Oh this is going to be a long list.  There are a lot of things and people I could most definitely live without!! I could live without the rainy, dreary winter weather here in the Netherlands. Sammi and Ronnie from Jersey Shore. I will admit to watching it when I’ve run out of other shows, and I cannot stand these …

This afternoon I made my second attempt at making Low Carb Cauliflower Pizza. The first time it didn’t turn out too bad but I mistakenly used two eggs instead of one so the bottom was a little… eggy.  This time I tried a different approach.  I made some mistakes but now I think I know where I went wrong. First …

Day 4 – Now that the holidays are over I’m back to my usual diet, and I’m so glad. I love all that forbidden food but it really makes me feel like crap.  I have to admit I did overdo it a bit, and ended up gaining about two kilos. Not bad in the grand scheme of things, especially since …

This is my husband. Do you see the smile on his face?  Well, I can’t take credit for that one.  Jenny made a leg of lamb and he went into total Neanderthal mode.  He picked that piece of meat up and gnawed on it like his life depended on it. It gave me hope that this might mean that one …

No I don’t mean me, you dick. Ok maybe I do, sorta.  Still, it wasn’t nice of you to just assume it was about me.  Just sayin’. This is The Fat Lady: No, seriously, the fish is actually called The Fat Lady!  Check the link if you don’t believe me. Anyway, you know what a fish means!  That’s right, I …

It’s true… look!! BEANS! Actual … beans!!  I don’t believe it!  I grew a real and honest to goodness vegetable!  I am the queen of gardening! Seriously, if you could have seen the little dance I did around the balcony when I saw these babies.  It went a little something like…  I have beans, baby beans, Go Tammy…shake yer booty, …

Well, it’s time for another installment of The Veggie Files.  It’s been almost a month now and things are going great!  The plants are growing very quickly and with the exception of my lettuce, the plants are getting big and strong. You can see in this photo that my bean plants (left) have grown big and bushy and my cucumber …
