Yesterday I sneezed 982 times. When I sneeze, I don’t hold back. Those that know me, know this all too well. Holding back hurts! By then end of the day, my head and abs hurt from sneezing. I have not yet decided if the last few days have been full of sneezes and a running nose from allergies or possibly a cold? I left the Yoga classroom four times during the hour to blow my nose on Tuesday night. There is nothing worse than constantly sniffing, unless of course it is having to listen to someone else constantly sniffing. Anyhow, yesterday wasn’t much fun and I took three showers trying to wash the allergy away or clear the cold out of my head. Sneezing aside, it was a good day full of good food and lots of water. I skipped the workout. Here are yesteraday’s eats… Breakfast – 7 SP […]

Yesterday was the second morning in a row that I’ve included some Pumpkin in my breakfast. I made these Pumpkin Pancakes. I am also loving my Pumpkin Spice Flavored Dunkin Donuts coffee. Have you tried it? What is your favorite Pumpkin Treat? Is it low in WW SmartPoints or is it a treat that you are willing to sacrifice a few SmartPoints for?   Yesterday was one of those days that was filled with healthy choices and at the end of the day, I went to bed feeling good on the inside, and out! A Hot Yoga class last night was a great way to end the day. I hope you had a great day as well! Here are yesterday’s eats… Breakfast – 7 SP Pumpkin Pancake’s, Egg White and Veggie Scramble   Lunch – 9 SP Tuna Salad, Plantains and Veggies   Dinner – 11 SP This was really yummy. […]

Yesterday started off with a hilly (and hot!) walk that was just over 6 miles. It was a great way to start the day!  I had the day off yesterday, and I had no desire to get anything checked off of my to do list. I drank lots of water, ate good food and kept within my points for the day. For some reason, I feel kinda pooped lately,  Around 3:00 in the afternoon, I decided to put my feet up for just a few minutes…in my bed. I woke up after 5:00!! I am not a napper. I wake up cranky thinking about all of the things that I could have/or should have been doing. I even woke up cranky from naps as a kid. Not yesterday. I woke up feeling rested. Guess I was needing it. After my nap, I cooked up some yummy grub. I grilled up a Flank Steak that would […]

Saturday, I planned my breakfast and lunch around the fact that I had concert plans for the evening. I knew that I would have a few beers and we had plans to eat dinner out before the concert. I made a conscious effort to eat a breakfast and a lunch that were high in protein and low in points. I did have a plan. Well, I ended up drinking all of my weeklies in beer and then we went to Ihop at midnight because we ate a fairly small dinner. I was now in the red with my weeklies. That was NOT my plan at all! I did have a great time, but I overdid on drinks and let myself get caught up in the fun. I had a blast with these two crazy ladies!   I said that I would track all of my food this week, and although […]

It’s been a few days since I’ve sat down to blog, so I have a little catching up to do. Wednesday was a Food Truck day, and I wanted to eat everything that we serve up in the truck! There is something about that cooler weather setting in that makes me want to eat big servings of hot and delicious food! Cant explain it. Comforting I suppose. The weather was a little cool and dreary on Wednesday, and we were not super busy, and I just wanted to eat. I didn’t overdue, but I thought about eating the entire time I was in that truck!! After work, I walked 4 miles with a friend and that put my eating choices back into perspective for the evening. Thank goodness. Thursday, I worked early morning at a WW meeting, so I grabbed a Larabar and cup of coffee and headed out the door. Right […]

Yesterday was a full day and it felt good to get back to training and working at a few Weight Watcher Meetings. I’ve never been to a Weight Watchers At Work meeting, but I love that they have them to offer and yesterday I started training at one. I love the concept of being able to attend a meeting At Work with co-workers, This particular group was awesome, chatting about walking together at lunch or afterwork and sharing different trails to walk that are close to the office. I even heard chatter about a frisbee game at lunch! I was just busy enough yesterday, that lunch never happened. That doesn’t happen often for me. I always have time for food! I weighed my potatoes and counted my points for breakfast, then had an apple in the car for lunch. I did not take the time to weigh or measure my […]

What I did not get done on Sunday (Basically, I did nothing at all on Sunday), I made up for yesterday! I did make it through breakfast and lunch before I absolutely HAD to go to the grocery store. That cooking and freezing thing can really come in handy! I went to Yoga and plan to continue to make it to more than just one or two classes a week. It was a great Monday! I ate great yesterday and I drank a lot of water, but i still didn’t count points. My brain is not fully back from vacation?? I could not decide what sounded good for dinner, so I filled up my grocery cart with a ton of veggies and plan to eat Roasted Veggies all week long with some Grilled meat. How easy is that? Roasting and Grilling keeps things simple and makes for a quick clean up after […]

I feel like no matter what age your children are, you feel a great sense of pride and joy when you see them makes decisions that show personal growth in who they are and what they want out of life. Tess (my daughter) is a Weight Watcher member and was lucky enough to find a Friday morning meeting in Dallas that she loves just as much as I love my Friday morning meeting here. This is what she posted on the Weight Watcher Connect App just a few days ago. She also posted a shorter version of this on IG, but I like this version. Way to go kiddo!!   I am so proud of her for finding what works for her in her young and busy life. I have watched her eating habits change and I have watched her teach herself how to eat healthy without giving up the social life that is the reality […]

We didn’t do a whole lot yesterday. Honestly, our trip was one of those that you come home from feeling a bit wiped out from. We were both asleep by 10:00 on Saturday night and slept until almost 8:00 am Sunday morning! The rest of the day was mostly spent on the couch watching football and that crazy debate. I missed my pups, so I snuggled with them a lot. I did get out for a long walk with a friend. It was about a 5 mile walk and it was beautiful outside! When I got home, I was ready for the couch again. I never even made it to the grocery store, which must happen today! Since I almost always have some sort of cooked meat in the freezer, I figured out meals for the day. We ate well yesterday, and we ate all of our meals at home. […]

This trip truly could not have gone any better. We met so many incredibly nice and interesting people. We kept our trip relaxed and let each day simply happen. We saw a lot more than we expected to see, and we can’t wait to go back and do some more exploring of New York City. This was the first trip that we had taken with just the two of us since we have been married. We decided that we should try to do that more often! I mentioned in my last post that a friend of mine has a son that lives in New York. He sent me a lot of information that included restaurants, places to people watch and the best mode of transportation based on the area that we were staying in. We took him up on a lot of his suggestions and we were so happy that we […]
