I had a hard time getting going yesterday morning. Monday is my “get sh*t done” morning and I was having a hard time making that happen. I was happy in my bed with my old school coffee pot, which actually does not keep my coffee warm at all, but it’s cute, so I keep the dang thing. After lots of coffee, I finally came around. Compared to our busy weekend, yesterday was really boring, so I’ll just leave you with what I ate. Breakfast – 7 SP Sweet Potato (100 g) with Peppers and Onions topped with Two Eggs Over Easy.   Snacks – 9 SP Handful of Cheerios, Raw Cashews, One Graham Cracker Lunch? – 2 SP Premier Protein added to 2 shots of Espresso in a Venti Cup with Ice while running errands. I just needed more caffeine. I follow a few ladies on Instagram that order this […]

It was a little girl weekend filled with giggles and hugs and snuggles. We had our 3 year old grand daughter and our 7 year old grand daughter with us for the weekend and I just can’t love these girls enough. These two cousins love each other to pieces and it is always so much fun to have them around. I feel like I need a diagram or a family tree each time I post about the grandkids, but I’ll just tell the story of the weekend, and likely you will figure out who belongs to who, or not. Or perhaps it doesn’t even matter.  I picked up these two cuties on Friday night. We had dinner, then some messy cup cakes for dessert. This picture was taken right before they both decided to bend over their plates and take bites of cup cakes without using their hands. Kids these days. You […]

I spent the entire morning in bed on Friday and I loved it! I slept super crappy the night before and I knew I had some ZZZZ’s to catch up on, so I did. Once awake, I made a yummy cup of Frothy Coffee and crawled right back into bed to enjoy it. I was on the computer all morning, but it was nice to stay in my pj’s for as long as possible. I ended up doing some housework in my pj’s too. I finally decided it was lunch time at around 1:30 and made myself a nice big plate of French Toast. It was rainy and blah out, Mike was working away from home today, and I was enjoying pj’s and bed head for as long as I could. I left in the pouring rain at about 4:30 to go pick up the two oldest grand daughters (not sisters, […]

This week in the Weight Watcher meeting room we are talking about Stress. I ended up filling in as a sub for two meetings this week and each meeting was completely different, which is just one of the things that I love about being able to be in different meetings throughout the week. These are the questions I asked that led to some great conversations.  What gives you stress? How does your body feel when you are stressed? What do you do when you are stressed? Do you turn to food when you feel stressed? What are some things that you can do when you feel stressed so that you do not turn to food (or punch someone in the face)? I heard some great feed back from members in all three meetings on how they deal with stress. Many members already have a plan in action for when they […]

Seriously, this food truck gig not only rocks because we just have fun while we’re working, we also have the tunes a playing (A customer asked me yesterday if I could turn the juke box down. He was old.) and the winds were crazy yesterday so we literally rocked in that truck all dang day! And……it was our busiest Wednesday I think maybe ever! We sold out of everything. Good day at the truck! Before heading out to the food truck, I made these Egg Cups for breakfast. I guess before making a recipe, you should check to make sure that you have all of the ingredients.   Okay, I didn’t actually have a recipe. Egg Cups are easy. Put your favorite filling ingredients into a muffin pan sprayed with Olive Oil, then top with an egg and bake. I lined each muffin tin with 1/2 slice of center cut bacon. The […]

My friend Ashil sent me a text yesterday….   I’ve never done that before!           Eight pounds later!   I got in a walk after dinner last night. My goal is 12,000 5 days a week, but I’ll take this.    Out the door to work the food truck. Have a great day! Breakfast – 1 SP 1/2 Bottle of this Premier Protein added to Iced Coffee   Lunch – 5 SP Mixed Greens, Rotisserie Chicken (3 oz), Red Onion, Cucumbers, Bell Peppers, Avocado (35g), Trader Joe’s Roasted Plantains (10) and Salsa   After I snapped my picture, I chopped it all up so the Avocado and Salsa would mix together for a tasty dressing.   Snack – 10 SP Since lunch was low in points, I had a nice serving of Raw Walnuts (20g) and Cashews (30g) mixed with Blueberries. If you are eating mostly […]

I’ve got some new readers, so business first. Thanks so much for stopping by the blog. I’m really glad that you’re here! I tend to ramble on and on and make lots of spelling and grammar errors, so I apologize in advance. I was so going to post everyday in May, but family came first this weekend. Instead of posting a blog on Saturday morning, we were taking turns holding this guy!   Mom (our daughter Kate) went to the hospital at 12:45 am Saturday morning and Sawyer was here at 2:15 am! Quick and easy for mom. I knew when the phone rang in the wee hours of the morning, we had a baby on the way or he was already here. I could hear him crying when I answered the phone. This is grand baby number six. He is just adorable. Meet Sawyer Graye. 6 lbs even.    Here […]

Do you ever have just the littlest thing happen that you just can’t shake? You want to shake it, but you just can’t let it go? For the love of everything that is anything, you just can’t get it out of your head?? Well, that happened yesterday and I let it jack with my whole day. Urg. Not one of my better qualities. Being in my head can be so draining sometimes. I had been looking forward to yesterday all week. I had a full day of WW Work planned. My usual meeting on Thursday morning as a receptionist, then I had the opportunity to sub as a Leader at two At Work meetings. After that, off to some WW training for the afternoon. I was really looking forward to my full day of WW work. Well, my morning kind of fell apart right before I walked out the door […]

I woke up Wednesday morning at 9:15! I was sleeping hard too. I had gotten up at around 6:30 to let the dogs out, then climbed back into bed. I had a slight headache that never did leave me yesterday. I packed my lunch and headed out to the food truck. Busy busy day at the food truck. One of our busiest days for certain but not the busiest. Towards the end of the work day a storm (explains my headache??) rolled in and we closed the doors just a few minutes early. Just in time too. The wind picked up and the rain came down hard just as we closed up the truck. It was good and loud in there while we cleaned up yesterday! After work, I grabbed a few things from Costco, then came home and filled up the bathtub. I was in there for over and hour […]

(Edited. I forgot one of the great parts of my day! My Steps!)   Yesterday was my six year anniversary of the blog! What? Seriously…where does the time go? I’ve lost all track of time over the last several years. The days just seem to fly by. I had no idea where this blog would take me when I started it just a short six years ago. I so love this little part of my day and I thank you for sharing it with me. Your comments make me happy and constantly remind of what a good decision I made six years ago. Thank You!! I love love love my At Work group of Weight Watcher members. Yesterday I asked the group “What do you need from your Weight Watcher meeting today?” The answers varied from “motivation” to “accountability” to “food ideas” and each answer lead to some great conversation. I […]
