I set my alarm for 6:15 yesterday morning so I could get my workout in.  I turned off the alarm, rolled over and the next thing I knew it was 7:30!  Considering I usually leave for work at 8, that didn’t give me much time to publish my blog, fix breakfast, put lunch together and shower and dress. But since I am low maintenance, I...

Since my store had sweet potatoes on sale for .25 cents a pound (a sign next to the sweet potatoes said “.25 cents a pound up to 30 pounds.”  I can’t imagine buying 30 pounds of sweet potatoes! I went on Tastespotting and saw a recipe for sweet potato challah.  I am trying to think, but I don’t think I’ve ever made challah from scratch...

Yesterday was the perfect day to work out in our yard – about 50 degrees, partly sunny at times.  Our dog Ed loves to be outside, but he shakes like a leaf every time Tony gets close with the mower! I think we probably emptied the lawn mower bags a dozen times: Our fire pit is getting big – you probably can’t tell, but this...

I was doing well all week food wise, but the exercise was almost non-existent – I only worked out two days this week, have worked through my lunches and I didn’t get home from work last night until almost 11:45 lat night.  🙁 Although Hannah and I had a date night Thursday night!  We chose a Mexican restaurant and I had grilled chicken fajitas (no...

No food to post today.  Tony has a guest post today.  After reading what he wrote, it dawned on me that I really don’t have as many problems as I think I do – I have a roof over my head, food in the fridge, a loving family and at the end of the day, does it really matter what the number is on the...

Work is getting super busy.  I am pretty much non-stop all day, so my little breaks here and there to check in on you is going to be gone for the next couple weeks.  I’ll try to stop by when I can, but just wanted to let you guys know my blog reading/commenting is going to be fewer and farther between. 🙁 I actually love...

I get a lot of emails for products to try and promote on my blog.  Something when I first started out thought would never happen in a million years.  I take each email seriously, and think if its someting I actually want to try or promote. I get on average about 30 emails regarding the blog each day – sometimes it can be overwhelming to...

It’s rare that I get upset.  Most of the time I am a go with the flow kinda person – much more concerned if you are happy than myself – I’ve always been like that. But yesterday when I stepped on the scale and saw .4 gain I lost it.  On average I had 1400 calories a day the past week – only had THREE...

It was such a nice weekend – temps in the 60’s in November?  I’ll take it!  We had some good eats too.  Saturday morning I made this egg dish – zucchini, turkey kielbasa, 2 eggs scrambled together, then topped with salsa. Saturday night we smoked a turkey breast – I seasoned it with fresh rosemary, lemons, olive oil and salt and pepper – it took...

Happy Sunday everyone!  Hope you all are enjoying your weekend so far.  It’s a rest day exercise wise for me, but I do plan on taking advantage of our 60 degree weather today and take a long walk.  😀  I am definitely starting to feel sore from the strength training, which is a good thing! I did lat pulls at 40 pounds yesterday, lunges (which...
