Laugh or Cry?

Laugh or Cry?
There was another pedestrian incident on my train line this morning.  I decided to drive to work, but got no where fast because the roads around where the accident happened were closed, so traffic was backed up.  I heard the train lines were moving again, went to the train station two after my usual stop, got on the platform and . . .no phone.  I...

My Phone Was Stolen

I had such a busy day at work yesterday.  Had a filing for one attorney, a bunch of revisions of another attorney, and a secretary near me was out, so I had her attorney as well.  I was still planning on meeting my sister for lunch for our walk, but as it got closer to leave, too many deadlines and I had to bow out....

Better Together

Better Together
You guys know after all the YEARS I’ve been on Weight Watchers that I’ve always loved the program.  Um, it’s just that I never followed it exactly.  I always tried to “cheat” the system, to somehow eat the same way I did that got me overweight, but somehow sprinkle those cheat meals throughout the week, just work out more and somehow the scale would move....

Weekly Weigh In . . . July 31?!

I can’t seem to wrap my brain around it being already the last day of July.  Not only has the summer, but this whole year gone by so fast!  Remember when you were a kid and a summer’s day seemed to last a week long.  Somehow the older you get, the fast time goes! I went to my Weight Watchers meeting on Saturday to WI. ...

Stroke of Enlightenment

Stroke of Enlightenment
I love all the people I’ve gotten to know on social media.  Whether it’s here from the blog, Facebook, Instagram.  You have to check out my friend Jane’s YouTube Channel.  She’s down nearly 40 pounds I think, but she’s got a bubbly personality and she makes me laugh, and she’ll drop the f bomb sometimes, so that’s always a plus in my book You may...

Family Reunion!

Family Reunion!
Last Saturday, the day of our family reunion, there was a possibility of rain.  But thanks to the storm the day before, it was a bit cooler (mid-80’s) and no rain!   Kudos to my Aunt Martha for hosting the event again this year and having a house big enough for me to stay in.  Here is my Aunt and her boyfriend Will: Longtime readers...

I forgot my FitBit

I forgot my FitBit
I wore my Fitbit while doing my Insanity before we left for the airport.  Once our flight was delayed, I thought “I’ll just walk the airport and get more steps!”  I knew I already had close to 4,000 steps before I even left the house, and after walking for 30 minutes, reached down and realized I forgot to put my Fitbit back on after my...

First Day of Vacation. . .in Schiller Park, Illinois?

First Day of Vacation. . .in Schiller Park, Illinois?
Hey guys! It’s back to reality as I am on the train headed to work.  Our plane was delayed coming home last night, so we didn’t get home until after 10:00 p.m. and I haven’t even downloaded my pictures yet.   Last Wednesday our car was picking us up to go to the airport at 9:00 a.m., so guess who got up and did 60...

Dinner With Ashley

Dinner With Ashley
Knowing I was having dinner out and still doing operation clean out the fridge, this 5 point breakfast kept me full for quite a while – go protein ?? I hit the ground running at work.  I started working for this firm November 3, and I’ve only had two days off since then, not including holidays, so I am more than ready to go on...

A Lovely Weekend

A Lovely Weekend
 Hannah didn’t work until 11:00 on Saturday morning so we both had a lazy morning just hanging out under the gazebo outside.  We are leaving on vacation on Wednesday, so it’s operation clean out the fridge!  I made these pepper eggs with avocado – special thanks to Hannah for making my avocado slices look pretty. After she left I put my productivity pants on –...
