What a fun day! I started it out with coffee in bed, but what I should’ve started it out with was a walk. I walked in the late afternoon and it was H O T!! Coffee in bed always starts my day out happy, so I guess a hot walk in the afternoon is the price I pay for morning happiness. We worked a food truck lunch yesterday with five other trucks and we were crazy busy! I think we had 30-40 people in line the entire time and served almost 200 people in about a two and a half hour window. We always have fun working, but we were so busy I don’t’ think we ever did get in any chit chat. All work right after I took this picture!    When I came home from work I had a UPS delivery that included a pretty gold envelope. When […]

After I finished working my WW Meeting on Tuesday, there was a food truck in the parking lot of the building that I was in. I heard that they had good Taco’s, and since I work on a food truck, I decided to check it out, you know. Compare. It was weird being on the outside of the order window!   These were in small corn tortilla’s. I ordered one steak and two chicken. Not bad. Point friendly. Should have only ordered two though.   For dinner, the only meat I had on hand was ground beef. On Sunday at the baby shower there was a Taco Bar. I was in charge of Lettuce, Tomato, Cheese, Sour Cream, Chips, Salsa and Guac. There were going to be about 30 people at the shower. I have no idea how much food to buy for 30 people, so I was sure to […]

Like what’s with the Full Moon kinda week? There is  no  full moon. In the last few days we have discovered that we really did have bats in the attic. While cleaning up the bat crap, the shopvac broke, so Mike had to go buy a new one. The crew that was supposed to show up to do mudjacking last week finally showed up today but then the driveway cracked and broke while they were mudjacking it up. I came home from working today and pulled into the garage, then remembered immediately that we aren’t supposed to drive on the driveway for 48 hours, so I backed out real quick. Mike doesn’t know this and I think that’s best. I’ve dropped two large containers of blueberries that rolled all over the kitchen floor. I’m not gonna lie. I ate some. The kitchen sink drain has been leaking for the past two […]

It’s been a full weekend and a happy weekend. Sidenote: I did not track at all this weekend. I didn’t eat terrible, I just didn’t take the time that I needed to take to track. I tried to be mindful. I did eat some things that I likely would not have had had I known how many points I was eating. I feel good about getting in more steps this week and drinking lots of water. Okay….the weekend. Friday morning started off with a few girlfriends over to discuss our bathroom remodel and share ideas. I may have made them breakfast….. Sweet Potato Hash with Bacon, topped with Eggs and Berries on the side.   After making a few bathroom decisions, then pondering a few ideas, Mike and I were left to making some decisions on our own. I know that in a remodel it is important to consider the resale […]

I’m so excited to be a part of such a great company that has helped so many people reach their goals, change their bodies, change their mindset and change their lifestyle. I joined WW for the last time in 2009 and I have worked hard to not allow myself to go back to where I was in 2009. Weight Watchers has given me so many tools and taught me so much about food and nutrition and how to keep myself on the journey of living a healthy life. I started blogging about my Weight Watcher life (and life in general) just over six years ago. I started sharing meal ideas and activity goals (and stupid stuff I do) on an Instagram account over four years ago. The consistency in my blogging and posting has been huge in pulling me back in when I start to drift. I achieved a huge personal […]

I liked that 9 1/2 hours of sleep thing on Tuesday night. Only 5 1/2 last night, and I’m an 8 hour girl!! I need my beauty rest. For real! I knew this was going to be a full week and that it would be tough to fit everything in, and I was right! We were swamped at the food truck yesterday and we had a lot of fun. The regular customers that we have on Wednesdays are always so much fun and so appreciative! It was our busiest day yet for a Wednesday lunch, and I think I’ve said that every week for the last four weeks or more! We just keep getting busier and busier! The rest of my day was filled with Weight Watchery stuff. I have some exciting things to share tomorrow! After a full day in the food truck on my feet, a walk with Tucker […]

Yesterday was one of those days that I thought would never end. I still had so many things to get done last night at 9:00. I finally turned off the lights and walked away from it all. I like going to bed with all things done, the kitchen counter tops empty, the blankets folded and put away in the living room. You know, things are done. I feel restless if I go to bed with things unfinished. I’ve gone to bed before with things “undone” and had to get up and do them so I could go to sleep. I know. I’m weird. I know. I know. I worked my meeting yesterday, where I have some of the best WW members out there. Last week we talked about numbers and how they describe us, but they do NOT define us. When the members walked in to weigh yesterday, I had […]

I like to switch things up once in a while, so yesterday I picked a WW meeting to go to that I’ve never been to, then found a park to walk in that I’ve never walked in, and I finished listening to my book on tape, which I’ve never done before. The WW meeting was great and I love the Leader, Liz. The park had more moms and kids under the age of 5 than anything I’ve ever seen. I like the way that my book ended. Have you ever listened to a book on tape? I’m not sure how I feel about it. This particular book is a memoir and was narrated by the the author.   The voice that she spoke with through the entire book was very monotone. The memoir is about her upbringing as a child in a polygamist family and her story was very sad.  I found […]

It’s going to be a full week and starting my Sunday off with a hot yoga class was the perfect way to get the week going! I meal prepped yesterday, worked at getting in a lot of water and made mental notes about the rest of the week and the best times to get my steps in. Today starts my first ever StepBet! I follow Amy at myjourney2goal on Instagram and she is doing a Step Bet that starts today and last for 6 weeks. From Amy….. “Here is how it works: -You must have an Apple Watch or Fitbit to participate. -Pay $40 -StepBet calculates your step goals based on your recent activity. You have 4 active days, 2 stretch days & 1 “free” day. -The first week is a “warm-up” week so you don’t have to make your goals that week, though I highly encourage it! -Everyone who […]

When I skip a few days of blogging it either means that the days are just too busy to fit in a blog, or I’m eating and drinking crap and I need to figure out why so I can blog about it. lol Well, both of these things happen to be true here. I have been busy and I’ve also been busy eating and drinking. After working my early morning meeting on Thursday, I ran a couple of errands, then met some girlfriends for a birthday lunch for a friend where we sipped on wine.   My salad was delicious! The dressing on the side really wasn’t even needed with all of the deliciousness already in this bowl.   After lunch a few of us went to a patio for a cold beer (okay, we had two cold beers.) I went for a long walk when I got home, then […]
