Last Saturday, I finally tried the Fit for Life Oatmeal Pancakes recipe sent to me by a reader and friend. The recipe appears on this blog.

I was somewhat put off by the cottage cheese the recipe called for. But all ingredients are blended so I tried it.

Made myself one big pancake and enjoyed it immensely with some sugar-free syrup.

Good way to get in some oatmeal. Try them. I think you’ll like them.

Been away from blog for a while. It’s not that I didn’t have anything to say, but I’ve had some technological problems.

While I’ve become fairly adept at finding fitness, this blogging stuff sometimes frustrates me.

My total weight loss at this point is 34 pounds. And I have finally gone and purchased a new pair of jeans. Too many friends and co-workers were bugging me about my baggy pants!

I almost gave up without a purchase, thanks to Lane Bryant’s new sizing system. Good grief. I had to have the help of a clerk AND the manager to help me figure it out. They were kind and helpful, and I am grateful. It’s nice to have a pair of jeans that don’t feel they are going to fall off and humiliate me.

Have been trying to get in some swimming in the Wellness Center pool in the evenings.

And, for the record, I’m still trying to develop a taste for oatmeal. I’m not giving up.
