I was so proud of myself Sunday night.  My blog was already written for it to be published Monday morning, my gym bag was packed, my lunch bag was in the fridge – I was all set! I am putting my stuff in the car, and it feels as if I am missing something, but I dismiss it and head to work.  I did a...

Guess what time I woke up both Saturday AND Sunday?  8:00 a.m.!!  This is unheard of for me.  Weekends it’s not unusual for me to get up and around any earlier than 10:30! But, I liked it.  The house was quiet.  Tony was sleeping.  The dog woke up with me and after going outside for a while, slept at my feet while I did some...

I am sure like most people with DVR’s you tape nearly everything you watch because there are too many commercials.  I found it ironic last night though that we watched a show of the best t.v. commercials from 2012.  This one was our favorite.

I am trying really hard to get over the all or nothing mentality.  For YEARS I felt that I had to do everything 100% right, and if I failed at one thing, I’d throw in the towel for days, weeks, even months. What is that?  It got me thinking.  Most people have obviously 3 meals a day.  That’s 1,095 meals a year.  Why do we...

As much as I wish I could sit and cheer with Tony on football Sunday, I have a really hard time watching a lot of football.  I can watch a Bears game probably from beginning to end, but that’s about it. But I love football documentaries.  Showtime does a series in the summer time that highlights the inner workings of a football team, from picking...

I’ve always said that my organization skills leave me once I leave my office.  At home, I never put anything back in the same place twice – it drives Tony nuts and me too – in fact I think Tony gets a kick out of something when I can’t find something because he’s like “welcome to my world!” One thing that I am awful about...

Gah.  Here we are again.  The first day of the new year.  365 days staring you in the face where you swear that by day 365 you’ll be a newer, stronger, better you. I’ve done that the last four years. 2009 Is Mine! 2010 Is When. . . I’ll get fit 2011 is When I’ll learn my lesson . . . I was 168.8 then...
