Since I have been getting up so early before work for over a year now, I almost always wake up right before I hear the CD turn on my alarm to wake up.  And yes, there are days I want to just shut it off and crawl back into bed, especially when its cold out, but I just grab my glasses and I am out...

Since I had to be to work early yesterday, I was happy to see that my strength workout could be adapted at home, well, except for the calf press – turns out I don’t have one of those at home!  I adapted that by doing calf presses while standing on my hand held weights.  I used 10 pound dumbbells. barbell squats: 30 reps leg press:...

I woke up late.  That never happens to me!  Post will be up around lunch time.  I have news!

Since it was “technically” the weekend, Tony made me another amazeball breakfast.  Spicy eggs over a crunchy blue corn tortilla with hash browns made from half a baked potato mixed with a bit of cheese.  This ended up being my breakfast and lunch since we planned on having our Turkey day dinner around 3:00.

Yesterday it was so cold.  We keep our bedroom door shut and have a small space heater that keeps our room so toasty.  So it’s a false sense of coziness when you open our bedroom door and step out into the hallway.  I looked up on my phone and saw this: Yep, that reads “feels like – 6!”  Gah.  I really, really wanted to just...

Gotta love a short work week!  Even with one of my bosses out of the office, it’s been busy, so this week is flying by.  I think we should pass a law that says that we could get paid for working five days in a week, but only actually having to work three.   I think of all the stuff I could do with a four...

I was all set to go to the gym yesterday morning.  Food was packed, my gym bag packed.  Tony was up watching the news so I snuggled with him for a few minutes before getting my ass out of the door in 22 degree weather, with a wind chill, it felt like 10.  I grab my coffee and . . . I can’t find my...

Some days I wonder if I would leave my head at home if it wasn’t attached to my body!  I was a whirlwind of activity before heading out to the gym.  I didn’t pack my back the night before and I was putting my work clothes in my bag – my worst fear is that after a work out I start to get dressed and...

Tony doesn’t like to eat breakfast.  Like hardly ever.  On the weekends its usually closer to noon before he eats, and there is a fine window of when breakfast is no longer appropriate.  You will never find Tony eating breakfast for dinner unless he’s had a stroke, can’t speak and I’ve dressed us in matching jackets. Muffins though?  Those are an anytime snack.  I had...

Last week when I surprised my Mom at church, after the service they were selling tickets for their annual Chili Supper.  I heard my Mom and another woman talking about how they were going to be short staffed in the kitchen this year.  I thought – bummer I have to work on Friday! But then I remembered I had originally taken Friday off for my...
