For accountability's sake, last night I snacked on a slice of WW toast with pumpkin butter.  In bed.  Crumbs everywhere! :)   GOOD MORNING.  It's Monday, but I have a short work week and am therefore very happy.  We are driving to Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday night and spending the weekend there.  It's technically [...]

My lazy Sunday ended up being not so lazy, after all!   Our major project: We are slowly decorating our bedroom, and the one piece of furniture that was missing was the triple dresser.  And trust me--we could use the extra storage space!   We ended up buying this Ugly Blue Monster at the local [...]

Wow.... I feel SO LAZY this morning!  All I've done of note is eat. :)   Breakfast: WW pancakes, melon, strawberry, and real maple syrup for dippin'. MMM!   And a few hours later.... leftover Cheesy Chicken Casserole.  I think this was better today than it was when I baked it! I have to say... [...]

Good evening! I literally had beer and pizza for brunch AND dinner!  YAY!   Hus and I started the afternoon off by doing the Shred together.  The Husband also thinks Level 2 is much, much harder than Level 1.  Jillian Michaels is insane.  And later, we watched a documentary called The Spirit of the Marathon. [...]

Afternoon!  Watching Meghann run her first triathlon was so much fun!  She did really well, too. I basically was the uber-spectator... chasing her as she transitioned and taking a million photos!  It was interesting to be on the other side of the race!   Meghann's family, Derek, and Melissa also came to watch.  Together, we [...]

Good morning! Well, last night the Husband and I decided on getting ICE CREAM! MMM.  I haven't been to Coldstone Creamy since the summertime! I got a small coffee with Twix and Graham Cracker. As if that wasn't enough sugar in my life, this morning I heated up a homemade frozen waffle. Breakfast included: a [...]

I hope you are having a nice night!  We are trying to decide what to do tonight.... go out, stay in? Ice cream? Beer? :)   This afternoon I snacked on....   Shredded wheat and raisins in skim. And apricots. Times two.   And for dinner..... a new casserole!   Cheesy Chicken Casserole Ingredients:   [...]

Afternoon! TGIF it's Friday - YAY!   I ran a bunch of errands this morning, including getting a new cell phone.  My old cell broke so I went in and got the cheapest one I could find.... Woot woot! I heart rebates.   Then, I made myself and my friend Harry sammies before I drove [...]

I LOVE having Fridays off from work -- Thank GOD for alternate work weeks (every company should do this).  Having Friday off lets me be free to sweat away the morning.  I love it!   I woke up early and fueled with a yummy breakfast: Hodgson's InstaBake pancakes, a sliced banana, maple syrup for dipping, [...]

According to www.Random.Org, the lucky winner is.....   Casey said... I seem to have cut out the same thing as everyone else - I rarely eat/drink products with HFCS anymore (if I can help it) and instead of a million servings of diet sodas and snapples a day, I opt for water or tea.  I've [...]

Afternoon!  Don't forget to enter the OIKOS Yogurt Giveaway!  Because.... seriously -- who doesn't love free stuff?   My day is going well.  I feel MUCH less stressed than I did yesterday.  I'm trying to take my time at work and truly focus.  Feeling more in control of my work always helps.   My mid-afternoon [...]

Morning!  Thanks for all your kind and thoughtful advice regarding anxiety.  The blog world is so wonderful -- and strange.  I feel like I connect with and understand the other bloggers and readers who comment frequently.  I hope we all meet in real life one day!   I was reading Oprah's "Big Book of Happiness," [...]

I've had the strangest, most terrible case of anxiety for the last two days.  Normally, I cope pretty well through venting to friends or exercising, but today I just felt like I couldn't get a grip on my emotions! I know the reasons why I'm anxious -- it's all stuff in my life that is [...]
