We have been running around madly these last two days. I can’t say it is for any particular reason, it’s just busy around here. The tv has been off and it’s been great. I plan to chat with the offspring about making some changes from here on out. For the most part, I have enjoyed cutting it all out, but [...]

TV Free Week – Day Four
Posted in The Opinionated Picky on April 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday was fun…Pickygirl and I planted salad veggies in our patio pots. We have a large vegetable garden each year, but we haven’t prepared that area as yet, so this will do for now. It is cheap, easy, doesn’t take much space, and they are organic. It will be nice to have some lettuces spread out over [...]
TV Free Week – Day Three

Chugging along…….the kids are doing a great job. Whining has been minimal.
Sadly, my Thursday weigh-in news is not as good this week +1.8
I blame these. Too much of a good thing. The kids were not that crazy about them, so I don’t need to buy them again. They have a nasty tendency to call MY [...]
TV Free Week – Day Two

So far, so good.
Yesterday, Pickygirl found a game on PBS Kids called Lunch-o-matic. You get to go through the cafeteria line and pick foods to make a balanced lunch. She was quick to point out that ice cream is a good source of calcium. Sure is, and a fine treat. We began talking about calcium, and she was pleased [...]
TV Free Week – Day One
Posted in food tips and recipes on April 24, 2007 | 2 Comments »
No big lectures about the evils of television from MsPicky – whew! I don’t watch much, but what I do watch, I like, and around these parts we do not mess with Survivor Night. I could go without it, and have. I grew up in a TV-free home, but reminiscing about the “good ol’ days” makes Mr. Picky [...]

Scale: down 1.3 pounds
Weighing in on ….
- Boing Boing – my new favorite weird news site (sorry, Other Crap). I don’t know where these guys find these things, but they find them, and they find a lot of them, because they update their site multiple times in a day, according to my Bloglines [...]
What’s in your wallet?

Why, my Seafood Watch pocket guide, of course!
I cooked some salmon last night that was quick and easy. I placed a 6 oz. salmon filet on a piece of foil, drizzled 1-2 tsp. of Annie’s Organic Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette over the filet, then wrapped it up. I baked 2 foil packets for 20 minutes at 350 deg. I [...]
What does weight loss look like?
Posted in Ms Picky's weight loss on April 13, 2007 | 4 Comments »
I just saw a graph of my weight loss progress from the last six months. Now, if I had a nicely behaved graph that looked like something out of my Algebra One textbook, depicting a neat little slope of weight loss per week, I would find this a very helpful visual tool. I know this is helpful for many, [...]
Weighing in on Thursday
Posted in Pickygirl, Thursday weigh-in on April 12, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I have been recording my weight every Thursday morning, as I have been attending a weekly support group on the same day. My group is changing up a bit and I don’t know yet if I can go weekly, so I am instituting the MsPicky Thursday Weigh-in on the PEA blog. “Weigh-in” means weight for the [...]
MsPicky Goes Shopping

I have a great shopping tip!
I cannot take full responsibility for this tip. My friend, Eric, and his kids were over to play a few months ago, when he mentioned that they had started getting groceries from Amazon.com. Their picky eater would only eat Annie’s Organic mac n’ cheese and they were getting the best [...]
