Life

I felt good going into WI yesterday.  The only day I didn’t track was on 4th of July.  But here’s the thing.  I made the food.  I wasn’t at a BBQ where I pigged out on potato salad, and had one of everything from the dessert table.  We had ribs (I had 4 “bones”) an orzo salad, corn on the cob and mini angel food...

Even though I don’t do a full grocery shop the week of a holiday, I can always count on a simple parfait for breakfast.  This one comes in at 5 points – 3 points for the cup of plain Chobani, the fruit is free, and the granola is 2 points.  I’ve been trying for over a year to come up with a low point granola...

It was weird being at work on Monday.  Six minutes before my train got to my station, there was only two other people on the platform.  It was only my one boss and me and our whole side of the floor.  But, my boss worked over the weekend, so I had a huge pile of stuff to get through my inbox.  I was about to...

I am taking a blog break today.  I laid in bed with dogs until 7:30, just made a 2 point breakfast with some coffee before heading out on a walk and a last minute trip to Walmart for a couple things – there probably won’t be anyone there since its a holiday, right?! My Mom is coming over today – we are having ribs –...

I had a great week.  I stayed pretty much on track, other than last Saturday night when we went to our neighbors and I had THREE glass of the delicious sangria my neighbor made.  Three days last week I had 18k steps or more.  I finished through Day 3 of Insanity, drank a lot of water, and only saw a dip in the scale of...

I wish I could bottle the days when I am in total control for the days when I need it later.  For some reason, this last week I’ve been focused, and nothing is tempting me.  Take for instance our catered work breakfast yesterday.  It was catered by Corner Bakery and they had cinnamon rolls the size of my head, their cinnamon crisps, bagels with fluffy...

Thank you so much for all your kind words on yesterday’s post – from long time readers who reached out to me, sending me text messages DM on Facebook, leaving comments here, you have no idea how much I appreciate your support! This was the temperature while I was waiting for the train yesterday morning.  #perfect Since I planned food for my neighbors get together on...

I was sitting on the train last week going to work.  I’d already finished writing my blog, I published it, put my laptop away, and switched on my new YouTube music app.  I will choose music over t.v. every day.  I realized I never turned on the t.v. once this whole weekend!  The great thing about the youtube app, is that it will custom build...

The days I think I am going to be busy at work, don’t turn out that way.  The days I think are not going to be too busy, are the days that are, and yesterday was one of them.  I hit the ground running, but luckily I have a stash of Premier Protein in the mini fridge near my desk, so I had this 2...

Monday night I was sitting on the couch with Rummy.  It was really windy, when all of a sudden I heard this loud THUMP!  My neighbors tree fell into my driveway.  Luckily it missed the house, the cars and there was no damage other than having a giant tree in my driveway! Since we live in the sticks, there are no street lights and didn’t...
