Happy Halloween! I love trick or treaters! I remember what it was like to be young and trick or treating with my mom, so I just love being able to be on the "other side" of the door. I even turned down TWO grown-up Halloween party invitations to stay home.... I've got my bowl of [...]

Yay! I'm ALMOST done with work for the day! I did four hours of overtime this morning and wrapped up a document for print. I was super sleepy from waking up at 6:00 AM to go vote, but now the baby is PDFed and ready to go. Around 9:30, I had the obligatory Z-Bar. [...]
YAY! I voted! I woke up verrrrrry early this AM, showered, and ate a quick bowl of oatmeal before leaving for the polling place at 6:45 AM. I just had basic oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins. Word on the streets is that people have been waiting to vote in Florida for up to [...]
Poor planning resulted in me skipping yoga class. I had my pre-yoga mini dinner and ran errands after work... but I finished errands at 7:00, an hour before class. It was either sit in the parking lot and wait for class to begin (no sneakers so I couldn't go on the treadmill) or go home. [...]
Don't you wish your abs looked like this: Maggie needs to do more sit-ups. Seriously. Sorry, I'm in a weird mood. Maybe work is slowly making me go crazy? Who knows! I am looking forward to unwinding at yoga tonight... hip-hip-hoooray! Around 9:30, I had the usual.... a Z-Bar. I caught Future Husband [...]
Good morning.... I'm sleepy. I stayed up late to see the Phillies win and pick up my brother-in-law from the airport. After yoga class is over tonight, I am going to go directly to bed. :) Thanks again for reading my Motivation, Part II post. It's so nice to know my blog touches you, [...]
I briefly touched on my motivation for healthy eating and exercise in last night's post, and several of you asked that I expand on my philosophy a little tonight. To summarize what I said last night, one of my turning points was when I realized I should work out for my health, not to [...]
Good afternoon! As you may expect, I had a Z-Bar for my mid-morning snack. I made James pose with it to make the picture slightly more interesting: Doesn't he look cute/scared? And for lunch, I had a platter lunch.... which is always more fun because it takes longer to eat. Instead of eating [...]
Good morning! I've got to make this snappy, as I'm running late, late, late! First off, I'm glad everyone found my quick thoughts on Motivation to be interesting! I will definitely expand on this topic tonight, and I'll respond to your comments when I get a chance. Secondly, don't forget about the Athleta [...]
One of the turning points for me was when I realized I should work out for my health, not to look hot. When I only cared about being skinny, I ended up sabotaging myself. I was too focused on short-term benefits, and when they didn't instantly materialized, I would binge. Very counterproductive. Now, I [...]
Good afternoon! How are you? I'm good... work is work. I have a lot to do this week, so I'm totally buckling down and focusing. A Fine Balance I did take a brief break to look at the news (gotta stay up to date on the election!) and I saw this article on [...]
Sometimes I wish I could hook myself up to a coffee IV and just have the caffeine drip, drip, drip into my veins all day long. Obviously, I am tired! :) I'm really looking forward to going to the gym after work because I know it will boost my energy level. I always think [...]
Good evening. Lookie at me, not at the gym! I felt so overwhelmed with wedding, work, and holistic website stuff that I just wanted to stay home and drink vino. Future Husband completely agreed with me. I did a taste test between the two reds we have open at home to decide which I [...]
