Whoever came up with the idea of baking eggs in ham is a genius.  It’s simple, easy, and can literally bake while you take your morning shower.  Better yet you could make a dozen of these at once and have breakfast made all week.  They are cook right out of the oven, and also taste good at room temp.  I only made two before work. ...

The photos from the Spartan Race were posted online yesterday.  I will admit when I first saw them all I saw was how fat I was, how big my belly was, how if I were even ten pounds lighter it would have made the whole race a lot easier.  But then I told myself to shut the fuck up.  I DID A SPARTAN RACE.  I...

I am thrilled to have 22 of you join me in rocking this 101 Days of Summer Challenge.  I love all your goals and I think together, we can achieve them.  I had two thoughts on communicating with each other – I can do a blind copy email to the group and anyone can respond to “all” or I could create a new private Facebook...

I downloaded a preview of Roni and Carla’s book #WYCWYC (or Wick Wick) to my Kindle app before it was available for sale.  I put it in my “basket” but until last week, I had forgotten I hadn’t actually purchased it! I am only 1/4 of the way through it, but so far, I love it.  I “met” Roni somewhere around 2008 when I found...

Look at me with a Mishmash Friday like Shelley and Fran!  While I have been writing about my Spartan Race life has been going on behind the scenes.  I did want to show a few pics I took while in Milwaukee.  I had every intention Sunday morning to walk around the lake front, but the weather was iffy – it was lightly sprinkling the whole...

After the kids and I walked around Milwaukee after lunch, it was time to head back to the hotel and just rest.  I had about an hour and a half before I had to get ready before blog reader Kris came to pick me up.  The first hour, not gonna lie, was spent just laying in bed.  The last half hour I took a shower...

I woke up the morning of race day and I wasn’t nervous at all. I decided not to rock the boat on my food, so stuck with stuff I normally eat – I ended up getting a turkey sausage, egg white English muffin from the Starbucks in the lobby of my hotel, and grabbed a banana too.  The only thing I was nervous about was...

Eeeek!  I am so excited for this weekend I can’t even tell you.  I am excited not only for the race, but to meet up with some long time blog readers and friends.  I am hanging out with Jessica tonight, Kris tomorrow and Mel and Jory for brunch/lunch on Sunday. I was getting a bit nervous a couple days ago because I couldn’t find anything...

I had every intention of walking for 30 minutes before work, but that was before Red, Jacob’s dog, needed to go to the bathroom.  Usually in the morning it’s a quick out to pee and then he runs right back in and goes back to sleep.  Yesterday he seemed to be having some “issues” so he took about 10 minutes.  I thought about just ditching...

It was chilly yesterday morning, but since I wore my long sleeve shirt and sweatpants and socks to bed, all I had to do was throw my hair back in a ponytail (just fits!) put on my glasses and threw on a jacket and I was out the door.  For the record, I don’t think it’s required to put a bra on for walking around...
