Month: September 2012

My morning started off with one dog in my face, the other in my back, and me tangled in the covers. I have had some dreams the last few nights that have been exhausting and in which I think I earned some Activity Points! I jumped out of bed and started my day, which is where the “Perfect Part” comes in. I was anxious to get the deep, long blog off of my mind and out there, so that and a few cups of coffee were the first thing on my Saturday agenda. Then I dressed for the day…….feeling very Fallish (that Fall thing is gonna get old quick, isn’t it?) in my hat and plaid to meet my mom for lunch at the Overland Park City Market. How Do I Look? Yes, I was feeling a bit sassy. Before I left the house, I knew I needed to eat […]

May……2009 (Good Lord! The hair is just as bad as the CHEEKS!) July……2012(Better hair, better cheeks) “love the life you live, live the life you love”

These are the things that have been super heavy on my mind for the last two weeks……….please feel free to either…….. A. Put your feet up, grab a beverage of your choice, and read on. B. Close your browser now. I completely understand. How am I staying motivated?Where Am I in my journey?How is Walking Club Doing?How did I do with the Online Bootcamp?What is my current exercise routine?Do I have a plan for future recipe post?How do I plan to put more thought into EACH meal and snack?Did I “Fall off the Wagon?”?What do I expect to get out of my blog? HOW AM I STAYING MOTIVATED? I said when I joined WW for the fifth or six time (could be more), that this time I would never quit. I knew when I reached my goal weight, I would continue to go to meetings as long as WW exist. […]

More kisses….. “love the life you live, live the life you love”

I had a super busy morning on Tuesday…..Twittering, Facebooking, Blogging, Emailing, and Pinteresting. I may eat entirely from Pinterest this Fall. But then I saw this and melted. You know from reading, I am in love with my dogs, but never have I been so excited about taking pictures of a dog. But you guys, seriously……..Tucker LOVES to have his picture taken! Maybe its the breed? Because I found this dog that looks just like him, and apparently a dog owner that is maybe crazier than I am!!! I am just throwing this out there, but I am pretty sure Tucker will be having a birthday party this summer, and we will be making these cupcakes, Weight Watcher friendly, of course. You know the thought of it makes you smile. Breakfast was simple. Toast with Pumpkin Butter (Thank you, Louisburg Cider Mill)3 PPV LunchThe Leftovers are now gone. 🙁 Roasted […]

I worked a lot on Monday, therefore I have no exciting “Adventures of Julie” stories for the day. I oddly, did not eat much, but what I did eat, was really yummy. I will say the best part of my day was the chilly walk I took in the afternoon, and the cup of coffee I enjoyed on the deck outside afterwards. Have I mentioned, I am ready for Fall??? BreakfastVanilla Almond Luna BarFrench Vanilla from the Kuerig5 PPV LunchLeftover Roasted Veggies…..still great 2 days later.5 PPV Grapes0 PPV DinnerOne Rotisserie Chicken1 1/2 C waterAnd these…………tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, black beans, fat free refried beans, taco seasoning, ranch dressing.

Topped with One Crushed Taco Shell (1 PPV) and WW Mexican Style Cheese (2 […]

Well, it was a wonderful weekend full of family, friends, fun AND lots of food! Just the way I like it! I spent the entire day in the kitchen on Saturday cooking and baking. I had the house to myself (well, minus constantly tripping over the dogs, while they waited for any amount of food to drop) the stereo was cranked up, and the coffee pot was keeping me company. I did have an egg sandwich to start off my day.4 PPV We were going to a friends house for dinner and to hang out around the fire pit. Yay, Fall! Football, fire pits, food and friends! Just what I’ve been waiting for! 🙂 I found a recipe on Pinterest that was screaming Fall, and screaming my name, but I knew if I made them, I had to take them someplace, or I would eat them all! I love anything […]

My day started off as my typical Friday does. Snuggled in bed with the dogs, one cup of coffee, then to my WW meeting. Things went as suspected. I stayed the same….. The way I look at it, I’m just fighting that 8.6 pounds right now, then I can worry about the final ten that will get me to 150. But these eight pounds are really wanting to hang on to me! I don’t know if my body is so used to this being my average weight that it doesn’t want to let go or what, but it is really getting old. Despite the numbers on the scale, I was in a really good mood and had lots on my “to do list”, and I was feeling productive, so I headed home to get started. The weather was gorgeous, and I was ready to open up the windows and let […]

I saw these at the Sunglass Hut. I HAD to try them on! I was going for this…….. But I think I got more….well……this……… After my morning coffee, and a greek yogurt…………4 PPV ………I headed out for a rainy afternoon of shopping and lunch with some friends. I didn’t buy the glasses, but I did get these! After a few dressing rooms, a second latte, and a few raindrops, we finally made it to lunch, my FAVORITE part of shopping! We went to Bravo for something warm and yummy, and possibly a glass of wine. Yes, I have decided one or two drinks (not 6 or 8 beers) is doable. The others ordered a Bloody Mary, but unsure of the points, I went with a red wine, which is what I was thinking anyhow. I didn’t take any pictures of my lunch, but thanks to the World Wide Web (does […]
