Month: April 2015

I left my house at 9:00 am yesterday morning and got home just before 7:00 pm last night. That being said, I did NOT drink all of my water for fear of not being able to find a bathroom in time, and I did not get a workout in. I’m not making excuses, but facts is facts! Wait…what do you mean get up earlier? Yeah, yeah…I know. Lot’s going on this Easter weekend. I’m taking my Little Sis, Samone, to the West Bottoms today in Kansas City for a day of browsing through some fun shops and hitting up a few Food Truck’s for lunch! There’s going to be 20 or so to chose from! Mike and I are going out to eat with my dad and stepmom for dinner tonight, so I’ll need to chose wisely today to stay within my 26 points! That can be tough when eating […]

I started my blog in May 2011 (I can’t believe it has been almost 4 years!) as a way for me to journal about my weight loss journey, my battle with the food demons and hopefully learn a little something about myself along the way. I’ve learned so much about me! In this journey, I’ve also learned a few things about blogs and how they work. I didn’t know anything about the technical side of a blog, (okay, I still really don’t), but I was determined to figure out enough about blogging to be able to sit down and write about my day, my food choices, whether I made it out the door to exercise or not and my relationship with food. I admit, that most of the things that I have figured out about “how to blog” have been complete trial and error, or a happy accident. Some techie […]

I woke up feeling great Wednesday morning so I’m thinking that the cortisone shot is kicking in. I slept pretty good (of course the Advil PM helps) I felt less discomfort when I first got out of bed, and pulling on my shirt and getting dressed felt better. I have a large sheet of PT to do at home that takes about 30 minutes and I got that done with little pain too! I was excited to get to go to Jazzercise yesterday after working at the Food Truck. Well, apparently I wasn’t as excited as I thought that I was…….I was into some serious File Deleting on my computer when I got home from working at the Food Truck when I realized the time had slipped away from me and I completely forgot about Jazzercise! I went for a walk. It was gorgeous outside again yesterday, so I had […]

My oldest dog, Mishka, despises car rides and always has. Tucker, my younger pup loves car rides, but has terrible anxiety when it comes to dog crates, so between the two of them and their fears, taking them to the groomer in the car, and having them hang out all day in a crate, is traumatic to say the least. I found a mobile groomer that I love and it’s been an answer to both of their fears. Erin is great with the dogs and they always smell like they’ve just left the spa when she’s done with them. While I was in Dallas this weekend, Tucker spent the weekend at Doggie Day care where there are no crates and the dogs are free to come and go inside and outside as they please. Mishka prefers to stay at home while I arrange for friends to stop by and say […]
