Last Ballgame of the Season

Good evening!  I hope you all had a great hump day.  Mine was a little out of the ordinary, which made for a nice change. I started with a breakfast of organic WW flax waffles topped with 0% plain Greek yogurt and fresh fruit. I was a busy bee all morning because I had to [...]

Saturday AKA Garth Brooks Day

Okay…where were we.  Oh, yeah, I was about to face plant into my food after a VERY long day. On Saturday morning, after 8 hours of sleep we got ready and headed downstairs for breakfast.  We all started off with Mimosas. What happens in Vegas… After a day of airport food I decided to start [...]

Viva Las Vegas!!

Good morning!! Well, we finally made it to Las Vegas!!  Before we get to that point, though, let’s rewind a little. When it came time to eat at the airport for the THIRD time yesterday, some of my healthy habits went out the window. But, boy was it yummy!!  I had a regular, salted pretzel. [...]

Butter Fingers

No, that’s not what I ate today (although they are delicious).  This refers to the fact that I dropped a pint of raspberries on the floor this morning, and then very soon after dropped half of my breakfast (WW bagel thin with DCD-PB) on the ground while getting into the car. Later in the evening, [...]

Almond French Toast

Before we get to the good stuff, I’m going to describe for you how I went from this at mid-afternoon… to this at midnight… I met friends at Chili’s for some drinks before the movie.  Considering we were going to see Sex and the City 2, I felt a cocktail was necessary so I ordered [...]

2.5 miles

Hello, hello, helloooo…!   Another great morning!  It MUST be true what they say about endorphins and exercise because I’ve been feeling GOOD these past couple of mornings after running.  Unfortunately, it’s supposed to rain/snow tomorrow so I’ll probably be stuck inside on the treadmill, which doesn’t feel nearly as good. This morning I concentrated [...]

Cleaning Up My Act

Good afternoon!!  I hope you had a wonderful weekeend!  Josh and I kept quite busy.  Yesterday I woke up and rushed off to teach Sunday School and attend church.  Josh met me at the service and afterwards we headed back home.  We spent a little while looking for a car on Craigslist and then gave [...]

Sushi Night

Good evening!!  I’m just about ready for bed, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to tell you about sushi night. But, first…to recap the day. I had a Fresca this afternoon.  I hadn’t had one in forever and didn’t know it had artificial sweeteners in it.  Bleh!  I only drank about half. I [...]

Back to the grind

Good evening!!  I hope you’re recovering from all the festivities quite well.  We got back home around 2:30 and then had to clean out the rental car before returning it.  When we got home the husband convinced me to snuggle with him rather than go to the gym.  It didn’t take much convincing considered I [...]

Almost there

Only one more day of work and then we’re off to Charleston on Wednesday!!  Can’t wait. Before I recap today let me go back a couple of days.  On Saturday we went a friend’s daughter’s birthday.  She turned 1 year old!!  They had quite the spread out. I had 1.5 pieces of chicken, some vegetables, [...]
