When I woke up this morning I felt thinner – I know it’s weird, but you know there are some days you feel heavier than others.  I had great expectations today, even with my 2 pound loss last week, I was expecting at least a pound loss. I biked/walked/jogged 31 miles last week, did good on counting points, had some wine, but I used my activity...

I think you guys know I like pizza.  A lot.  When I was foraging through my fridge to come up with breakfast yesterday morning, I realized I still had some artisan bread leftover from my rosemary bread I made over the weekend. Don’t really need to twist my arm too much to fix pizza – and there is really nothing “breakfasty” about this – not...

I was up at 5:30 yesterday morning.  Yep, a certain Tony someone wanted to hog the bed and I ended up just getting up.  I thought maybe I would try to go back to sleep, but I stayed up and waited until it was light enough to take a walk. It was gorgeous – probably about 50 degrees, sunny.  I ended up walking just over...

After staying up late and sleeping in three days in a row, when the alarm went off, I was like “hells no!”  So I slept 45 more minutes and ditched my trip to the gym. 😀  Instead I read blogs, drank coffee and tried to warm up on our first true cool fall day.  I’ll get my sleep pattern back on track soon – but...

Not sure if it was missing my Dad over the 13th anniversary of his death over the weekend, or the dip in temperatures, but I had the urge to make my Dad’s Chicken Brunswick Stew. My parents are both from Virginia, and there was a canned version of brunswick stew that my Dad loved – it came in a yellow can, and once they moved...

Can you believe it’s Labor Day already??  Today feels like fall and I could not be happier.  Right now it’s 56 degrees and sunny.  As much as I love summer, fall is really my favorite season.  Comfort food, pumpkins, crunchy leaves on the ground – I love it! What I don’t love is that the holidays seems to be a time where I don’t really...

I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for three years!   So much has happened these past three years.  This is what Hannah looked like at three! You’ve read the story of how Hannah came into the world You’ve read about how I met and married my amazing husband You supported us when Tony was in the hospital You cheered us when he came home from the...

For some reason this week went by pretty slow, even though I took yesterday off!  Thanks for all your well wishes for my Momma – we appreciate it! My alarm went of at 5:30 and we were out of the house by six.  Knowing my Mom couldn’t have anything to eat or drink, I opted not to make coffee at home.  So we get to...

This is going to be a super quick post because my Mom has to be at the hospital by 6:30 a.m. this morning.  While it’s outpatient, she’s still going to be under anesthesia – my only worry is that typically my Mom wants to eat within five minutes of waking up – Tony has seen this first hand. When my Mom spends the night at my...
