until 10:30 this morning!  God I love sleeping in!  We are headed back up to Lake Geneva early this afternoon to meet up with my MIL’s family at the tale end of their reunion.  They have had a wonderful week! 😀 Breakfast was zucchini bread.  But an egg zucchini bread!  1/2 cup egg beaters mixed with 1/2 cup shredded zucchini put on toasted rye bread...

I love seeing every milestone on my blog!  It’s like the little engine that could! Who would have thought that way back in September of 2008 I would be getting comments and so many visitors.  When I look back on older posts, I realized that pretty much only my family was reading and commenting for the first few months! It took me six months to...

I had high hopes of riding my bike outside yesterday morning.  I had my Road I.D., my glucose tabs, my cell phone.  Only one problem – the tires were really flat!  It had been almost six weeks since I asked Tony to put air in the tires and apparently they don’t last that long! So I went the Exercise TV On Demand and found two...

I was so glad I decided to take yesterday off from work.  We slept in until around 8:30.  Made some coffee, blogged, read blogs, relaxed.   I had the laziest breakfast ever – a 100 calorie bagel with a schmear of butter, a cheese stick and a juicy nectarine: I started the laundry, cleaned the kitchen and then we had to drop off one of our...

I had the pleasure of meeting my Mother-in-Laws family yesterday.  Even though Tony and I have been married almost 10 years, it was the first time meeting 80% of the people who were at the reunion yesterday!  My MIL is the matriarch of the family, having six younger brothers! I am very lucky, because I love my mother-in-law.  The first time I met her, Tony...

Lot’s to do to get ready for my MIL’s family reunion.  Come back tomorrow for the best baked bean recipe, a recipe for tequila lime cilantro chicken wings and more!  I’ll also recap the 101 Days of Summer Challenge tomorrow too.  Thank goodness I took tomorrow off from work 😀 Oh, and I may have had the best pizza combo last night – not sure...

It’s been a while since I made a breakfast pizza.  I got to work early so I could have it fresh out of the oven – can I just say again how lucky I am to have a full kitchen at my office??!! Only one problem.  I didn’t bring any cheese!  I improvised – there was reduced fat cream cheese in our work fridge left...

Since I didn’t go to the pool yesterday morning I had so much time I put together a parmesan zucchini casserole for my lunch yesterday.  While it was baking I did a 15 minute AM yoga.  I was then putting my stuff together and realized I never made my breakfast!  So in true un-Bizlike fashion, I had this: The verdict?  It actually wasn’t too bad! ...

I got up at six this morning, thinking it looked a bit dark outside, but stumbled to the bathroom to wash my face and put in my contacts to meet my friend at the pool.  But its pouring down raining!  I am hoping she didn’t go to the pool this morning, I don’t know if we talked about a plan if it was raining! 🙁...

Got out of bed and went swimming this morning??!! Part of our summer membership at the park district by our office includes lap swim from 6 to 8 a.m.  I was meeting my friend this morning at 6:30, so when the alarm went off at 6, I knew I had to get going – what a great motivator knowing she was waiting for me! Neither...
