I enjoyed my Labor Day morning in my P.J.’s, catching up on blogging and laundry and sipping coffee. Did you know that Labor Day has been celebrated since the 1800’s?? Neither did I! When I finally changed out of my P.J.’s, it was 1:00 p.m. and I hopped on the treadmill. While deciding if I wanted to listen to Pandora for an hour, or watch TV, I discovered Julie and Julia was just beginning! I LOVE this movie! I love the stories, I love the cooking, I love the blogging, I love the title, I love it all!

I need to get back to adding in yogurt and fruit, or oatmeal to my morning menu. GrapefruitOne Scrambled Egg with Three Scrambled Egg […]

Today’s WW Meeting Topic was all about Routine and Healthy Habits. Sometimes the meetings can really make me reflect on the changes I have made, the need I have for a Routine (which I have talked a lot about lately), the healthy habits I have adapted, and the unhealthy habits I have eliminated. Healthy Habits I have adapted that have helped me eliminate some of the Unhealthy Habits I had. 1. Journal and Photograph my food. I take most of my pictures with my Ipad, so they are nothing fancy, but the photos force me to put a little more planning into my meals so they appear attractive and tasteful, and I have more variety. 2. Blogging. Sometimes I am honest to a fault. Knowing that I will tell it all has made me stop a few times when I wanted to over eat. Wanting an interesting blog to read […]
