I hadn’t done Jillian’s shred in a long time and I am feeling it today!  I ended up sticking with Level 1 instead of Level 3, but I didn’t do the beginner side so that’s a step up! Have you seen the new Arnold Thins?  I found them at our outlet store – they are rectangular and meant to be “sandwich stuffers.”  One side is...

In honor of my 5 year anniversary at work, the firm sent me a bouquet of flowers!  A great way to start a Monday in my book. 😀  I know nothing about flowers, but I think the big one is a star gazing lily – they smell so good! When Tony and I went to Whole Foods they had Chobani for 5 for $5 dollars! ...

Yesterday morning it was overcast, windy and so cool – almost felt like fall, which is my favorite season.  We had the windows open and it felt so nice not to have the air on.  Well, that was short lived!  All of a sudden the sun came out, and with it the heat and humidity.  But since I was cooking throughout the day, we managed...

I started doing things around the house yesterday morning, and before we knew it, it was 10:30.  I hear Tony whisper: “Mama Rini’s” and I bolted to get changed!  I don’t know why, but I almost enjoy eating breakfast out more than dinner.  It’s slower paced (although some a-hole was talking on his cell phone so the whole restaurant could hear how he was divorced,...

First of all, can I just say Amen to a three day weekend!  It was such a gorgeous day yesterday – no humidity, around 80 degrees at the most.  I started my day with a 22 minute AM yoga.  I am really loving it, especially in the morning because it kind of stretches you out to start the day.  I am still not that flexible...

with my breakfast again!  I give you the last installment of zucchini pita pizza!  I actually almost overcooked it – I assembled it at work, but it in our toaster convection oven and then went to check messages and email.  All of a sudden I was like “my pizza!”  I ran to the kitchen and saved it just in time – this crust was extra...

that I am 42 years old.  I am just about to have my 5th anniversary at my office next week – 5 years ago I weighed 140 pounds, and it was two years before I went on insulin.  When I looked back at my food journals, I’ve said before that I worked out at least 90 minutes a day – my old office had a...

I gotta get this post in quick.  I woke up to swim this morning – it looked like all the storms were south of us because it was sunny to the north.  I pulled in the parking lot of the pool and then it hit – torrential downpours and windy!  It is now only raining but I think its only a matter of time before...

I planned to meet up with my friend to swim this morning, but its raining outside.  As soon as I finish this I’ll have to see what is on exercise on demand 😀 On my way to the pool yesterday, I had 2 ounces of my banana bread, took 6 units of insulin, and when I got done swimming for 30 minutes, my blood sugar...

I have a confession to make, in full disclosure, that I did have two glasses of wine last night after declaring I was kicking alcohol to the curb.  It was the last of a bottle, and now my house is wine free 😀  My goal is to go the whole month without alcohol and see how that helps with my weight.  The funny thing is,...
