Yesterday was the perfect day to work out in our yard – about 50 degrees, partly sunny at times.  Our dog Ed loves to be outside, but he shakes like a leaf every time Tony gets close with the mower! I think we probably emptied the lawn mower bags a dozen times: Our fire pit is getting big – you probably can’t tell, but this...

I was doing well all week food wise, but the exercise was almost non-existent – I only worked out two days this week, have worked through my lunches and I didn’t get home from work last night until almost 11:45 lat night.  🙁 Although Hannah and I had a date night Thursday night!  We chose a Mexican restaurant and I had grilled chicken fajitas (no...

No food to post today.  Tony has a guest post today.  After reading what he wrote, it dawned on me that I really don’t have as many problems as I think I do – I have a roof over my head, food in the fridge, a loving family and at the end of the day, does it really matter what the number is on the...

Work is getting super busy.  I am pretty much non-stop all day, so my little breaks here and there to check in on you is going to be gone for the next couple weeks.  I’ll try to stop by when I can, but just wanted to let you guys know my blog reading/commenting is going to be fewer and farther between. 🙁 I actually love...

I get a lot of emails for products to try and promote on my blog.  Something when I first started out thought would never happen in a million years.  I take each email seriously, and think if its someting I actually want to try or promote. I get on average about 30 emails regarding the blog each day – sometimes it can be overwhelming to...

It’s rare that I get upset.  Most of the time I am a go with the flow kinda person – much more concerned if you are happy than myself – I’ve always been like that. But yesterday when I stepped on the scale and saw .4 gain I lost it.  On average I had 1400 calories a day the past week – only had THREE...

It was such a nice weekend – temps in the 60’s in November?  I’ll take it!  We had some good eats too.  Saturday morning I made this egg dish – zucchini, turkey kielbasa, 2 eggs scrambled together, then topped with salsa. Saturday night we smoked a turkey breast – I seasoned it with fresh rosemary, lemons, olive oil and salt and pepper – it took...

Happy Sunday everyone!  Hope you all are enjoying your weekend so far.  It’s a rest day exercise wise for me, but I do plan on taking advantage of our 60 degree weather today and take a long walk.  😀  I am definitely starting to feel sore from the strength training, which is a good thing! I did lat pulls at 40 pounds yesterday, lunges (which...

I woke up late yesterday morning.  My alarm went off at 6 as usual.  I was awake, but turned off the alarm and decided to give myself another couple minutes.  It was perfect, all toasty and snuggling with Tony under our down comforter.  The next thing I knew it was 6:45!  Too late to go to the gym.  A week ago I would have just put...

I could not have been happier that Wednesday was a rest day because yesterdays workout was hard.  It was shoulder press, calf raises, knee raises for core and then my cardio of choice. I again ate 1 cup of honeydew melon on the drive to the gym, the sun was just rising by the time I got there.  And snow flurries when I left –...
