It was my bosses birthday yesterday morning, and I was crossing off my checklist to make sure I didn’t miss anything, I walked out without my camera. 🙁  But it was a nice spread – I bought bagels with WW cream cheese, had granola, vanilla Greek yogurt, fresh strawberries, grapes and bananas, and made these blueberry scones.  Thanks to my co-worker Cassie for sending me...

Wow -thanks for all your comments yesterday clearing up the confusion I had over the Athena/weight classifications on races – I had no idea!  You guys are so smart. 😀 Guess who got up and went to the gym yesterday?  Yep, my 101 Day Challengers know that I wanted to swim twice this week and run a 5k outside.  I was happy when I walked...

I came back from my WI on Saturday discouraged at my only .6 loss – its the third week in a row that I’ve had below 1 pound losses.   Tony picked my spirits back up (thanks honey!) and as I was bike riding yesterday at lunch, I realized my muffin top wasn’t getting in the way as much on my rides. 😀 You ladies will...

We had such a great weekend.  Saturday instead of our normal grocery store day, we decided to have lunch and see Hangover II.  My cell phone wasn’t working right – I couldn’t reply to any emails for a while and it was driving me nuts – just so happens the U.S. Cell store was near a bunch of restaurants to choose from. Believe it or not,...

I have to say that knowing all of you were starting off your week on the right foot motivated me all week long.  Let’s all keep up the great work! Here is an updated after week two.  Christina of Dinner at Christina’s.  She started out her challenge by moving from Illinois to North Carolina.  In her words: Last Wednesday and Thursday we loaded the 16′...

Wednesday as I was driving home from work, I passed a bank and it said 101 degrees.  It was humid, the air was thick and it was definitely hot enough to turn on the central air.  Storms came through and the temperature dropped like a bucket.  As I was driving to work Thursday morning, the temperature was 51 degrees and it didn’t get much warmer...

I have been completely forgetful of my bagel Wednesday, but was glad to be reminded when I saw Lori’s birthday post.  Now she’s the same age as me – go 43! 😀 Breakfast was a spinach egg white cheddar jalapeno bagel.  Happiness.  On a plate.  10 Points Plus. All the balls in the air that were left yesterday at work, finally landed and I got...

I had a work appointment at 9:00 that was 1/2 a mile from my gym – score!  I ended up running 29:00 minutes for 2.5 miles, then cooled down for 6 minutes.  Then did 5 minutes of abs on the ball, stretched and did 20 minutes of upper body strength training.  A nice 60 minute workout. 😀  I even had time to dry my hair...

What a great weekend we had!  While hot, we were able to survive without turning on the central air – even though most of the weekend I walked around the house with boob sweaty shirts. 😀  How’s that for a Monday morning visual! The last couple days of work were so hectic.  By Friday night I was ready to just relax.  Tony and I sat...

I had such a busy day yesterday, but whenever I had a comment that said “go weigh in, face the music, be responsible, etc. etc.” it made my decision clear to just go in and weigh, and if I gained, that would give me the necessary motivation to stay on track this week. Well guess what?  I am a loser! It’s only .6, but I’ll...
