I have the day off from work today, because I am meeting up with one of my long time blog buddies, Ally from Sweet and Savory Eats!   She emailed me and said she’d be in the Chicago area and had some down time before her blog event with Aldi Foods, and wondered if I’d be able to meet up with her.  We’ve always talked about...

I am happy to announce that my final WI with Dietbet has been verified, now just have to wait and see how many people met their goal to see how much of the pot I won.  I weighed in before work and Hannah wasn’t up yet to take my full body picture yet for me to submit with my final WI.  When I got home...

I know a few of you were concerned if I could keep up with 20,000 miles (thanks for proofing my blog Momma!) steps a day, day after day.  Well the answer to that is.  No.  I am in the final three days of my DietBet, final WI is on April 20, but I have declared Fridays to be my rest day.  A day to rejuvenate, drink...

Lately I’ve noticed that I have an “orb” in some of my pictures on some of my walks.   I am sure it’s just a reflection of the sun, or some explanation on how it gets in the photo, but I like to think it’s Tony following me on my walks.  Sappy, I know, but I like it.  One of Tony’s favorite shows was Ghost Adventures.  ...

I had to laugh when I started on my walk yesterday morning and my phone pinged and I had a Timehop – and wouldn’t you know a week ago yesterday morning I was walking by the river!  I must have walked earlier yesterday morning vs. last year.  You’ll notice that the dilapidated dock is nearly all gone this year.  Left was yesterday, the right was...

I woke up yesterday morning to the sound of rain drops outside my bedroom window.  I love having my window open pretty much all the time in the spring and summer.  I have a down comforter on my bed and it’s super chilly in the room, but I am toasty poasty.  I gave into the fact that it’s raining and I probably wouldn’t be able...

Saturday I woke up and I felt . . .smaller.  I know it sounds weird, but I just decided to jump on my Zero scale and see where I was at – I normally WI on Sunday’s but figured a day wouldn’t make that much of a difference. I started out at 175.4 – I am only 7.9 pounds away from the 150s!  And if...

You may know by now that I puffy heart Chobani.  Like a lot.  It has just the right amount of tang, and I always buy the plain when I make a parfait so that the fruit and the granola balance with the yogurt and it’s not overly sweet.  But, I have to say, I am frugal when it comes to the grocery store, and my...

I have to make this a super quick post – it’s really stormy this morning,  and I probably shouldn’t even have the computer on – gah! It was a bit chilly and overcast yesterday, but a nice quick 20 minute walk before work woke me up. I made another batch of my overnight cottage cheese pancakes, except this time subbed in a whole chopped apple...

I wasn’t sure how long my MRI results were going to last yesterday morning, so I snuck in a quick 20 minute walk before work.  My knee hurt a little bit the first few minutes, but then it was fine.  Um, note my pajama pants (coffee stains and all – ha!).  It was pretty windy and about 34 degrees when I left. With my leftover...
