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...

I have today off for a doctors appointment, so its nearly 9 a.m. and I am just getting out of bed and poured my first cup of coffee.  We’ve been up since 7, but we just laid under the toasty covers watching t.v.  Perfect way to start the day if you ask me! I am sure Randi thinks something has happened to me since I...

It’s not easy to keep trying to make good choices every day.  My old habits always seem to be waiting at the wings ready to jump to the forefront the second I am not paying attention.  Yesterday when my alarm went off at 6:15?  I wanted to get back in my comfy bed.  Like a lot.  But before I could even step one foot closer...

First, thank you to everyone who was following me on Instagram and Facebook yesterday and all the wonderful comments and likes – totally felt like a Rockstar – thank you! So I really had no expectations for yesterday at all.  I’d had a few conversations with AJ the photographer.  Totally awesome guy by the way.  I knew he bought me a few pieces to wear...

Tony made me another deluxe breakfast on Saturday – while it didn’t make it out of the pan as nicely as he wanted, looks can be deceiving – this was delicious!  Spicy eggs with cheese and sliced canned potatoes – the spice level was again perfect. I on the other hand surprised Tony by bringing home his favorite donut.  The Bavarian Cream Chocolate donut.  I...

I only had legs for strength training yesterday – it was a rest cardio day.  So I slept in until 7:00!  I still had an hour before I had to leave for work – it was nice having a leisurely morning before work. I had a Green Monster for breakfast.  It’s the last of the Good Belly that I bought at Whole Foods – I’ll...

Ah, the sun.  We have black curtains in our bedroom.  It’s literally so dark in our room that it could be noon with the blazing sun and we would never know it.  We love it that way. So when my alarm goes off and I feel my way to it to turn it off without my glasses on (um, I am blind as a bat!)...

The last couple of days have been so gloomy.  While it was raining on the drive to work, I was at least happy that it was 56 degrees!   But my 35 minute drive to the gym turned into 45 minutes because of the rain. I could hear the rain when I got up to turn off my alarm, and I was so close to just...

About the only good thing about day light savings is that it’s light out when I leave for the gym.  And although the clock says 7:42, it’s actually 6:42 – I haven’t gotten the manual out to change the clock yet. I had my customary English muffin with peanut butter for my pre workout fuel.  The arm strength workout that was on tap for yesterday? ...

Another weekend is in the books – and even with the extra hour we got, it still went by way too fast. We had a fairly lazy Saturday morning, which I loved.  I was planning on getting together with Hannah for lunch – she was running late, so instead of picking me up, we met at the restaurant and I ran a bunch of errands...
