Life

It’s so weird to have such nice weather in February, that it’s hard to figure out how to dress, what coat to wear.  It was still around 40 degrees when I left the house, but by the time I got downtown it was already 52 degrees.  The weird thing is seeing what other people were wearing downtown.   As I was waiting at a stop light,...

My sister and I declared 2017 the year of Weight Watchers.  Not that we haven’t done that before, but what we told each other is that good or bad, we’d go to the WW meeting every week and weigh in no matter what.  No matter that I was out of weeklies five days before WI.  No matter that my sister had a 60 point Valentine’s...

I loved reading everyone’s comments left on yesterday’s post about processed foods.  And I agree with Marcia, there is a season to rely on processed foods, and I for one am not going to eliminate them completely.  However, the Weight Watcher Media team sent this to the WW Ambassadors: Introducing: #FreshFoodsFeb! You all know that healthier foods can still be fun & delicious! So, we’re challenging...

I had the best of all weekends, lazy + organized + worked at my happy place – the Chopping Block! Friday started out great because I got to have lunch with my sister and her son who was helping at her work.  My nephew is vegan and gluten free, so our lunch options were a bit limited, but then I remembered that when my friend...

I had such a crazy day yesterday.  All was well to start.  I caught the early train so I could weigh in before work.  I was checking out Instagram on the train, listening to my music.  I have to say, taking the train is completely enjoyable to me, even if it is an hour commute one way.  But all of a sudden I realized we...

Morning! I am writing this post from my iPhone on the train ride to work this morning. I caught the 10:30 train ride home last night after work, but it doesn’t get my home until 11:40 – it makes every single stop at that time of night and I am the second to last stop. Last week I came home from work and Hannah told...

I was on the fence of whether or not to weigh in before work or at lunch.  Believe me, I am not one of those people who won’t eat or drink a drop of anything before a WI.  I once worked at an office that had a WW at work and it was at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon and people standing in line with...

I don’t get sick very often.  On Monday when I was cooking away the day I was getting colder and colder, even though it was 68 degrees in the house (I turned UP the heat from 64, which is what I normally keep it at.)  By 9:00 that night I was shivering under the covers, had a slight fever and a dry cough.  Damn.  Hannah...

I love the Starbucks protein box - but hate spending the $$! Here is my version of the museli bread they have - so good!

I brought another parfait for breakfast yesterday.  I still need to make some homemade granola (made some last night!) but decided to veer into CVS from the train station to see if I could pick up a bag of granola to keep in my work desk.  I was on the Weight Watchers app and really had my heart set on picking up Honeycomb cereal –...
