Until I read Errign’s blog the other day, I never even thought about running a 5k on a treadmill before!  (And speaking of Errign – she has another giveaway – go check it out!).  I usually do my typical 5 minute warm up and then my 5 minute intervals of jogging and then sprinting the last 30 seconds, increasing the sprint on each 5 minute...

It was such a gross day out today.  Cold, rainy.  Neither Ed our I wanted to walk this morning!  I decided on spicy oats for breakfast!  This time I added 1 ounce of 50% reduced fat cheese into the oats – so creamy!  Before I cook the yolk to death, I always think of Brandi and Sophia who LOVE runny eggs – ew! I actually...

I am sure you are wondering what the title of the post could possibly mean!  Somehow, not one, but two people Googled: “Fish With Big Lips” and somehow found my blog!  The funny thing is that I probably have 5 fish posts in 14 months of this blog! :D  I got up in time to take the dog for a walk.  You know the drill,...

I loved reading all your comments about your inner athlete and that you got a kick going back down memory lane with me!  I bring you week three of really getting serious with losing this weight – while I have maintained my weight somewhat this past year, I need to maintain it at about 25 pounds less! 😀 I LOST TWO POUNDS THIS WEEK! So...

Yesterday I ran for 9.0 mph for 30 seconds, and actually I felt I could go for even longer!  However, at 163 pounds (um, and age 41!) I couldn’t make it to 10 mph. Growing up I was a four season athlete.  Fall was Field Hockey (my friend Ashley will appreciate this!), Winter was indoor track, Spring was outdoor track then summer was softball.  Turns...

When Tony and I sat down at the diner, on the table was a card saying that they were now serving multi-grain pancakes AND they had the nutritional information!!  170 calories for 3 pancakes and they had sugar free syrup!  But did I get that??  That would be no!  Mind you, I ate half of this, and I actually estimated the calories to be about...

Whew, we made it!  So glad it’s the weekend! This morning I was all by myself, so it was coffee for one!  I love using the French press – you can get the coffee just the way you like it.  I am in the middle on coffee – not too weak, not too strong.  I think Hannah and Tony think I usually make the coffee...

Wow, thanks for all your nice comments on my pictures yesterday!  :D  Today was not a spooky morning at all – sunshine all the way! And now you can see how pretty the river is! Before taking Ed on our walk to the river, I put together a quick frittata.  My secret ingredient?  Canned potatoes!  Aldi carries there for like .79 cents a can.  I...

We got our first frost of the season last night.  When I got up I could barely see much from our driveway! It’s funny because our dog likes to sleep in.  He has never been a dog that is begging to be let out.  Maybe since he’s older?  He was sleeping at the foot of our bed.  I said “do you want a treat?”  No...

First I have to wish my parents-in-law a Happy Anniversary!  I got home too late to call them – married 53 years ago today!  Happy Anniversary Bonnie and Carl! 😀 It’s going to be a quick post – I had to work late tonight, and it’s Biggest Loser!  When I saw these pumpkin pancakes, I knew they would be on the breakfast menu this week! ...
