Yesterday morning I had a desperate craving for a McDonald’s sausage biscuit.  I kept telling myself “it’s only $1, you can swing by the drive thru on the way to work.”  I was putting my stuff together for my Souper Friday lunch at work (for any new readers I bring soup on Friday’s for the office), got dressed and ready to go. And then I...

I thought it was appropriate to take a picture of my icy cold breakfast in an icy background!  It was a tad bit overcast yesterday morning! I added a tad more coffee to this batch too, hence the darker color. My lower back was sore yesterday morning.  I was on the fence about working out at all, but then I told myself, just go, and...

I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of this almond mocha green monster.  I thought I would miss chewing my breakfast, but this is so delicious and filling I could literally drink one of these every day.  And I like the fact that it takes me my 30 minute drive to work to drink it. And I don’t even mind that it’s cold outside to...

Tony would like to delight your Tuesday morning with a guest post.  Take it away Tony! While watching the Packers go down in flames over the weekend (They were humiliated 31 to 45), I remembered back to the days when I lived among them. The company I worked for wanted to open an office in Wisconsin. I was newly married (first wife) and we looked...

My brother and I always talk about the “Switch.”  It’s the moment you go from not caring, eating whatever you want, to actually planning healthy meals and moving.  Neither one of us can ever figure out how the switch turns on and off.  But it’s turned on and off for both of us most of our adult lives. But it got me thinking.  Why does...

For being a full work week, it actually went by pretty quickly!  I’ll take it.  I got several emails asking if my pillowcase method for organizing my workout clothes worked.  The answer is yes and no.  My idea was to pack five pillowcases of workout clothes, put the dirty clothes back in the pillowcase and then put a ponytail holder to secure the top of...

When the kids were younger, we loved to play games.  Monopoly, Pictionary, Scrabble.  Well, scrabble didn’t go so well because I always dominated and no one wanted to play with me anymore. Enter in game apps on your phone.  Tony and I are both big word search fans, so when he downloaded an app for word search, I did too!  And guess what?  I dominated...

I was so proud of myself Sunday night.  My blog was already written for it to be published Monday morning, my gym bag was packed, my lunch bag was in the fridge – I was all set! I am putting my stuff in the car, and it feels as if I am missing something, but I dismiss it and head to work.  I did a...

I am sure like most people with DVR’s you tape nearly everything you watch because there are too many commercials.  I found it ironic last night though that we watched a show of the best t.v. commercials from 2012.  This one was our favorite. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6CcxJQq1x8&w=448&h=252&hd=1] Actually my favorite commercials to watch are during Superbowl.  I can sit through that football game!  We now are in...

I am trying really hard to get over the all or nothing mentality.  For YEARS I felt that I had to do everything 100% right, and if I failed at one thing, I’d throw in the towel for days, weeks, even months. What is that?  It got me thinking.  Most people have obviously 3 meals a day.  That’s 1,095 meals a year.  Why do we...
