I swear, sometimes if my head wasn’t already stuck on the top of my head, I’d forget to bring it with me!  I forgot to pick a winner from last weeks giveaway! My manners are awful. 😀   So the winner of the Do Life Visor goes to: True Random Number GeneratorMin: 0 Max:  25 Result: 24 24.  Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips onMay 18,...

Note to self:  If you don’t go to bed until 12:00 a.m., you will never get up in time to go to the gym the next day.  I hate when I stay up too late on a work night! Note taken. I did have time to do my 30 minute Classical Stretch – this one was called “feet and knees” and I swear at least...

Those of you who follow me on facebook know that I got my ass to the gym yesterday for some strength training.  Bad ass!  But, um, I really don’t know what I am doing.  At all.  I kind of just went from machine to machine until I thought I hit at least every muscle group at least once.  It took me 40 minutes!   I...

Okay, I may have a new favorite flavor of chobani – LEMON!  Holy shizz is that one good – slightly sweet/tart, with lemon zest.  It made for a totally refreshing breakfast parfait with fresh strawberries, pear and granola.  This one comes in at 343 calories, 1.9 fat, 63 carbs, 5.4 fiber and 21 protein. Here is a tip for any diabetics out there, or if...

I had such a great weekend.  I unplugged – I think I was on the computer all of about 15 minutes the whole weekend – love it! Friday night Tony and I sat outside and grilled.  It was so perfect, we love this time of year before the mosquitos and bugs are out.  Our dog loves it too – although our neighbors cottonwood tree is...

I have my inspirational video of Ben who pushed me through my run yesterday.  Four miles is long for me – but I figured if I could run a 3.1 5k, what’s .9 more miles?  Thanks for all your comments and likes on facebook! The time included a 5 minute warm up.  My goal is to up the mileage so that I can run shorter...

I went to the gym before work yesterday!  Those of you who follow me on Facebook already know that .  I did a 5 minute warm up, ran 3.13 miles (in 39:02) and then did a 5 minute cool down.  It was nice to have that all done by 7:30 in the morning!  I ended up having a Fit and Active (Aldi brand) protein bar...

Okay, I know its only been Day One of my Inspirational Diet, but I have to tell you – it worked for me yesterday.  I started the day with my 30 Minute Stretch – I have 14 different episodes recorded! Breakfast was two scrambled eggs that I put into half of a leftover red pepper, on the bottom of the pepper is a couple tablespoons...

When I was hanging out with my Mom yesterday, she said “I read your blog that you are quitting WW.”  She interpreted that to mean that I was giving up losing these 30 pounds I am hanging on to. Quite the opposite, I knew WW wasn’t working for me this time around for whatever reason.  While I suppose I can consider myself a success in...

I am quitting WW.  I started this blog in September of 2008 with the initial thought that if I put my weight out there for the world to see, it would somehow motivate me to lose the weight I gained since being put on insulin. Last week I weighed in at 165.6.  This morning? Yep – still hanging on to the 165!  I have a...
