Life

I’ve been on pins and needles all weekend worrying about my parents-in-law.  I know that if Tony were here he would have tried to get them to evacuate, but I know my father-in-law wouldn’t have listened to him.  He’s set in his ways, they have been through hurricane “type” weather before, their house was built to withstand a Category 4 storm, they had food and...

I didn’t stick to my meal plan at all this week.  While I could have easily made steel cut oats at home, I picked up a small container at Pret (4) and added bananas, blueberries, strawberries and 2 tablespoons of granola (2).  Even though this is a high carb breakfast, it is most definitely insulin worthy. My days have been off since we were off...

It was pretty funny standing on the train platform yesterday morning.  With temps in the low 50’s, there were some women who were clinging to summer wearing sleeveless dresses and sandals.  Right next to them were women with Ugg boots, full scarf around their neck and fingerless gloves.   Yesterday was such a busy day.  I never even made it to the gym last night...

And just like that, I blinked and my blog turned 9 years old today.  I am sure I’ve said it in the last anniversaries of this blog that if someone would have asked me if I would still be blogging NINE YEARS after I started, I don’t think that I would have believed them.  My first post was September 4, 2008.  This was my first...

I love summer fruit.  Even though I have to take more insulin for it, it’t totally worth it.  I mean, I would take more insulin for a Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfait (33 points by the way, not that I know that first hand, I looked it up for a friend!) – I think the blueberries on my banana buttermilk pancakes is a better choice....

I had my whole work day planned with my boss being out yesterday.  Until another secretary was sick yesterday.  I was asked to make some revisions to a document, and just like that, this attorney thought I was his all day.  It was fine, it made the day go by fast, but now my boss is coming back tomorrow, so I hope I get everything...

I forgot to bring my travel mug home from work the night before last, and I am out of my disposable ones, so I stopped by the coffee shop across the street from the train station and got a cup of coffee.  I can’t not have a cup of coffee on my hour train ride.  Turns out I also thought buying a poppy seed muffin...

I had such a busy work day yesterday.  I never know when one of my bosses is going to be in the office and he had a ton of stuff for me.  I love being busy because it makes the day go by fast, but I was too busy to Instagram my meals during the day yesterday – ha! This is a Chobani bowl –...

I was so ready to go to Weight Watchers on Saturday morning that I was up at 7:00 a.m. for my 8:30 meeting!  You know how some weeks you feel like you’ve gained weight, but have to go anyway and face the music.  Um, that wasn’t me this last Saturday.  I killed it last week.  Except for my 45 point day the previous Saturday when...

I got to the train station yesterday morning and as I pulled in the parking lot, I thought “hmmmm…something is weird here!”  There were only a handful of cars and for a second I thought “is it Saturday?!” Nope, sadly a 49 year old woman took her life in front of a freight train on my line at 2:45 in the morning.  Because it was...
