After staying up late and sleeping in three days in a row, when the alarm went off, I was like “hells no!”  So I slept 45 more minutes and ditched my trip to the gym. 😀  Instead I read blogs, drank coffee and tried to warm up on our first true cool fall day.  I’ll get my sleep pattern back on track soon – but...

Can you believe it’s Labor Day already??  Today feels like fall and I could not be happier.  Right now it’s 56 degrees and sunny.  As much as I love summer, fall is really my favorite season.  Comfort food, pumpkins, crunchy leaves on the ground – I love it! What I don’t love is that the holidays seems to be a time where I don’t really...

I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for three years!   So much has happened these past three years.  This is what Hannah looked like at three! You’ve read the story of how Hannah came into the world You’ve read about how I met and married my amazing husband You supported us when Tony was in the hospital You cheered us when he came home from the...

For some reason this week went by pretty slow, even though I took yesterday off!  Thanks for all your well wishes for my Momma – we appreciate it! My alarm went of at 5:30 and we were out of the house by six.  Knowing my Mom couldn’t have anything to eat or drink, I opted not to make coffee at home.  So we get to...

This is going to be a super quick post because my Mom has to be at the hospital by 6:30 a.m. this morning.  While it’s outpatient, she’s still going to be under anesthesia – my only worry is that typically my Mom wants to eat within five minutes of waking up – Tony has seen this first hand. When my Mom spends the night at my...

I can’t believe we are in the last week of 101 days of summer challenge!  While I am not complete happy with how I handled the challenge, I have no one to blame but myself.  I only have 20 pounds to go to get to my goal of 140 – and I am determined to get there by Christmas.  I may start a challenge from...

When I went to bed last night, Tony asked me how I thought my WI would go today and I said “I’ll be happy if I didn’t gain more than 3 pounds.” Guess what? I am a loser!  I did have a couple great 5k’s this week – both 35 minutes.  I have a plan this week, and my workout plans – I am going...

I live for weather like we had yesterday.  When I woke up it was about 65 degrees, sunny.  I had a nice breeze blowing in while I was putting my food together for the day.  Although I slept in yesterday – didn’t get out of bed until 7:30!  But still managed to blog, put my food together, shower and was in the car by 8:10...

Wow, thanks for all your wonderful comments to my post yesterday!  It was just the spark I needed to get me out of my funk, slow down, figure out what I want and make a plan to get there. And to answer Shelley’s question about my blood sugar numbers, for whatever reason, there are peaks and valleys – I seem to do the same thing...

Ever since I said the words to myself “I am on vacation!” and ate everything I wanted to, seems like I can’t stop!  I keep looking for things to eat even when I am not hungry. I am so glad I go to bed before Tony, because back in my super heavy (211 pound) days, after Hannah went to bed it was as if my...
