I woke up late yesterday morning.  My alarm went off at 6 as usual.  I was awake, but turned off the alarm and decided to give myself another couple minutes.  It was perfect, all toasty and snuggling with Tony under our down comforter.  The next thing I knew it was 6:45!  Too late to go to the gym.  A week ago I would have just put...

Having fruit before working out seems to be working out great.  My blood sugar was 90 when I wok up, so on the drive to the gym I had 1/2 a cup of grapes and 1/2 a cup of honeydew melon. All I can say about the workouts is that I now know I clearly have not been pushing myself very hard.  I mean, I watch the...

Day One of my Exercise and Paleo Diet!  It’s been really fascinating to read up on this diet.  Although I wouldn’t call it so much a diet as a lifestyle.  It’s not Atkins, it’s not South Beach. Richard Kreps is the CEO and Owner of The Zero Scale: A scale can be a great tool to make sure you are hitting your health and fitness...

So happy that BSI is back!  I think it just makes you more creative in the kitchen when you have to build a recipe around a particular ingredient. I am happy that pumpkin is approved on the Paleo diet too – I plan on using almond flour to make some pumpkin pancakes – they come together great in my head, so we’ll see later in...

No surprise in this weeks WI – I only worked out 4 times and let’s just say I ate a bit too much this week! So 162.4.  I want to be 150 by January 1, so that’s 12 pounds in 7 weeks.  I am super excited about my new eating plan and workout schedule – I haven’t incorporated strength training into my routine in ages....

Since deciding to try a Paleo diet starting on Monday, it’s as if my stomach and brain are revolting already and are telling me “eat it now while you can because you can’t have it next week!” I had two handfuls of potato chips (6 points) and a slice of apple pie (approximately 8 points).  I obviously could have done without both. Breakfast?  More carbs! ...

Hannah’s car had to make a trip to the repair shop yesterday morning, so I traded my over time Tuesday night and came to work late yesterday.  The day definitely goes faster when you don’t to work until 11:15! 😀 We stopped and picked up bagels on the way home – at Great American Bagel you get 13 bagels for $7.95 on Wednedsay.  Um, check out this...

Yep, I won prize for best/scarriest costume at my office party – I give you . . . Guy Fieri! Pretty much everyone knew who I was – except one person wanted to know if I was Jimmy Buffet!  It was a fun day – hey, any time I can grill at work I am a happy camper! We recently hired another attorney at our...

Even with all my exercise this week, I still had a gain on the scale. I am going to chalk it up to the Japanese food I had yesterday for lunch.  (and maybe I had a bit too much fried food this week?! :D) Tony had a friend in town and we met him here.  It’s literally five minutes from my office. Um, I did...

I am usually a fly by the seat of my pants, water off a ducks back kinda person.  Two of my bosses were going to be out yesterday, and I had my whole day planned, figured out what projects I would complete and get off my desk.  Um, didn’t happen – blackberry’s weren’t working, software wasn’t installed on some computers – it was crazy busy!...
