After a morning Hot Yoga Class and a trip to the grocery store, I spent the rest of the day at home completing a long list of chores and fighting the snacking bug. As I write this, I remember that I didn’t get in all of my water, and I should have been drinking water instead of sticking my hand in the cereal box! I am NOT doing a great job of only eating 10 of my Extra 49 Weekly Points. I have not eaten all 49, and I will earn a lot of activity points by the end of the week, but I really would like to get through one week of only eating 10 of those points and exercising a lot and see what the scale does. Dang it! Here are yesterday’s eats…… Breakfast – 4 PPV 8 oz Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt with Vanilla Stevia Drops and […]

Yesterday I woke up to take care of doggie responsibilities, then I got back in bed and went to sleep and didn’t wake up until just before noon! I don’t remember the last time that I slept that long, but it felt good! While I was sleeping the morning away, Mike was mowing, and to discover that, made me really happy. Then we both did nothing but watch movies and baseball, and that made me really happy too! Late afternoon, I decided I was done being a vegetable, so I cleaned house and cooked some dinner. After dinner, more nothing. It was a really good and restful Sunday. Here are yesterday’s eats…..   Late Late Breakfast – 15 PPV Scrambled Eggs with Turkey Sausage, Pancakes and Sweet Potato Hash Browns. I used my Veggetti to make Sweet Potato Spirals and cooked them with red onions in Olive Oil in the skillet. Tasty!!   […]

I had a great time at The Bubble Run on Saturday morning! I really had no idea what to expect. I was signed up with a few friends that I know really well, and a few other ladies that I had never met. The race was at 9:00 am and there were approximately 10,000 participants. I was being picked up at 6:30 am, and I had no idea why we were going so early, and I didn’t ask. I found out later, that with so many participants, parking was one reason for going so early, and apparently, so was tailgating! Yep, right before the run, we all met at my favorite little neighborhood restaurant parking lot, Sunset Grill.   There were Bloody Mary’s and Mimosa’s!! These girls were prepared for a fun day at the Bubble Run!   I passed on a drink, and I hadn’t really decided yet if […]

I had a great time Friday night at my 30 Year Class Reunion. I was hoping to see a few faces that I hadn’t seen in a long time, and I was pleasantly surprised to see even more people than I was expecting to be there! We had a great turn out and a great time! I went to Junior High with everyone in this picture and actually grade school with two of these girls.   Here is a group picture of all of the people that were there that I went to Junior High with. The photographer in our class did a great job of getting smaller groups together for photo’s! I have NO idea what I was so tickled about in this picture, but I’m telling you, I had a really good time Friday night.    These are all the people at the reunion that I went to […]

Yesterday wrapped up the end of a really great Weight Watcher week! Short term goals and writing down my goals definitely proved to work for me this week.  Last Friday, I worked in the yard, and that was the first activity that I had done in about 10 days since not feeling so great. Saturday I got in a 2.5 mile walk. Sunday, no activity. Monday, I walked 6 miles. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, I went to Jazzercise. This morning, I am going to Yoga, which means that I am going to a Weight Watcher meeting later today than usual. Tomorrow, I am doing a 5K at the Kansas Speedway with a group of neighbors! I’m feeling really good about the activity that I got in this week, and my weekend activity plans. I ate good this week, I got in lots of water, and I even passed on a beer offer two different […]

I slept like absolute crap last night. I woke up at 1:00 am to pee from all of the water that I drank at dinner, then I literally just lay in bed awake. The last time that I looked at the clock, it was 3:45 am. I counted sheep. I practiced deep breathing. I made to do list. I covered up. I uncovered. I went from side to side and then to my back. Finally, sometime after 4:00 am, I went back to sleep, only to wake back up at 6:00 am. So….I got up. I had a busy morning anyhow, so I’m just now getting a post up. Here are yesterday’s eats….. Lots of snacking yesterday. Breakfast – 4 PPV Pear with 1 tsp Almond Butter and 1 tsp Chia Seeds, Egg Whites with 1/8 Avocado and Salsa   Lunch – 8 PPV Pork Taco on Corn Tortilla   Snack […]

Yesterday I worked at The Food Truck, then I went to Jazzercise, then I showered, made dinner and was on the couch with the hubs and the dogs in my PJ’s watching the Royals game before 7;30. I love those kind of days.  It was also one of those really yummy food days that I just need to repeat often. I ate several small things yesterday. Days like yesterday sometimes make me think……..Why is it so hard for me on some days to not overeat? Some days, eating only 26 points can be so easy. I know it’s because I ate a combination of the right foods, and I need to remind myself of that. At the end of the day, I had to make something to eat after dinner, just to get my 26 points in! Here’s hoping today goes just as smoothly as yesterday did. 🙂 I made it to my […]

I had points left after dinner last night, and wanted something sweet. I decided to give the Banana Ice Cream a try. There are recipes all over Pinterest that say to just blend frozen banana’s. I’ve tried it before, and decided that it was…..okay. I love my banana’s and Almond Butter, so I decided to give it another go, but add a few tasty toppings. Ingredients 2 Frozen Banana’s 3-4 Tablespoons of Almond Milk 5-10 drops of Vanilla Stevia 1 T. of Almond Butter (I love my Trader Joe’s Almond Butter) 1 T. of Granola (I used Gluten Free Vanilla Granola) Directions Blend frozen banana’s, almond milk and stevia drops in blender until it has the creamy consistency of ice cream. Top with Almond Butter and Granola. This was DELICIOUS!!   Yesterday was an all around healthy living day. I actually didn’t eat all of my points, but that was […]

Friday afternoon I was feeling 100% like myself, and I was actually craving some physical activity! YAY! After dropping off my daughter at a friends house for her Bachelorette Party Float Trip, I mowed and worked outside in the yard for about an hour and a half and it felt great to sweat! Friday night, Mike and I went out to dinner and listened to a little live music while also watching the Royals game on the TV in the background. Perfect little date night. Saturday, I took a drive down to the Ozark’s in Southern Missouri to spend the night. Tess was on her float trip in that area, and needed to leave at the crack of dawn on Sunday to get to the airport. I told her that it would be a great opportunity for me to take a little trip by myself, and I could be her […]

Picked up my kiddo at the airport yesterday afternoon, and spent a nice evening getting caught up. Living in Texas now, she say’s Y’all….all the time….and it cracks me up. I just dropped her off at a friends house to head out on a Bachelorette Party Float Trip for the weekend. It was great to get to see her for the evening and this morning, and now that I’m feeling much better, I’ve got some things to catch up on around the house. A Happy and Healthy Weekend to you All! Here are yesterday’s eats…. Breakfast – 2 PPV 5.5 oz Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt, Vanilla Stevia Drops, Cinnamon and Berries   Snack – 5 PPV Trail Mix   Lunch – 7 PPV Leftover Papa Murphy’s Delight Pizza   Snack – 1 PPV Banana with 1 tsp Almond Butter   Appetizer – 3 PPV Zucchini Bites…Some with Pizza Sauce and Mozz, […]
