I hope everyone had a great weekend! I got in lots of activity and enjoyed the weekend with family and friends. Saturday morning…7:00 am, walked the dogs for 1 mile, followed with Hot Yoga at 8:00 am. I mowed and trimmed the lawn and trimmed a few bushes by 10:30. I used my App while mowing and determined I actually walk just over 1 mile while mowing, so I’m including that in my Walking Challenge. I walked another 3 miles after mowing. bringing my total for the day to 5 miles. It felt great to get all of that activity in before noon. It was a great day earning lots of activity points.   Sunday morning at 7:00 am, was a walk/run with Tucker and Mike. The three of us made a really good team getting in lots of spurts of running along the way. I am loving having these two […]

After a short conversation with the Apple Tech Support guy and a not so short session by myself deleting over 5000 pictures of eggs, sweet potatoes and avocado’s, my computer is back up and running. I’m feeling like it’s a temporary fix due to a few other issues I seem to be having. There is also a variety of messages that keep popping up. For now, I get to tell you what I ate yesterday and how far I walked. Lucky you, huh? Before I talk food and walks, my new neighbors, the foxes, are still around. I called Animal Control AND Kansas Wildlife Rescue, and both of them told me that there is nothing that can be done, and that the three foxes are likely a mother and two pups, and will probably be gone in a week or two. They did recommend supervising my dogs while they are […]

Due to limited time, due to computer issues, due to me not knowing much about computers, due to my lack of patience in learning, I’m keeping this post short. 🙂 I registered for 5K number three for the year. My goal is to do 6. Yay me. Whoo Whoo!   I’m getting my miles in AND….I went to Jazzercise on Thursday night. I had a great day on Wednesday, but my food plan did not go as planned. This cutie, Nina, is leaving the food truck to go to Norway for a year, maybe longer, and this was her last day working with us, so we had a little Sangria fun after work.   Here are Wednesday’s eats….. Pre-Breakfast – 1 PPV Frothy Coffee   Breakfast – 4 PPV  2 oz Cooked and Smashed Sweet Potato, one egg, fruit   Lunch – 3 PPV Fruit and 8 oz Greek Nonfat […]

Headed to the Apple Store today.  Hope to post later today. 🙁

Immediately after I posted my blog yesterday morning, my new neighbors came out to play. I sat in my window with my dogs and watched them play for quite a while. Tucker is super confused as to why he can’t just go out in the backyard and play with them. I tried to explain to him that the three of the foxes together might decide that Tucker would make a good dinner, but he just didn’t seem to understand.   He did decide to just watch and be content. They would appear, then disappear all morning.   I’m a little hesitant to just let the dogs out in the backyard to do their business, so I’ve been putting them on a leash and taking them to the front yard, or taking them for short walks. Yesterday when I came home from working the food truck, Tucker had pooped in the living […]

Before I talk about the 7 miles that I walked yesterday, or the yummy dinner that I made last night, let me tell you about our new neighbors. In the last few weeks, several foxes have decided to make our nice little suburban neighborhood their home as well. I’ve seen some of them over the last several months crossing the street outside of the subdivision after dark, but I hadn’t seen any of them just hanging out in our backyard or in the street in front of our house in the daylight or anything…..until this past week. There is a concrete storm drain at the back corner of my next door neighbors yard where the corners of our yards meet. Wednesday afternoon, three foxes came in and out of the storm drain off and on throughout the day. They have remained there since, even going so far as to sun bathe […]

Our wedding anniversary is Mother’s Day weekend, and we never end up celebrating that weekend. We like to pick a weekend in June, and make a Staycation out of it. That’s exactly what we did this weekend. We started out in the West Plaza neighborhood walking from block to block at the second annual Porchfest. I loved it. There were over 100 bands playing from noon-5:00 on porches throughout the neighborhood. Everyone was walking around pulling coolers or wagons full of beer….or maybe wagons full of kids, either way…lots of wagons, and dogs, lots of dogs. We had a great time and we can’t wait to go back next year with our own cooler on wheels, any maybe even our dogs! After Porchfest, we checked into our room on the County Club Plaza, a great area to spend the night if you decided to visit Kansas City. I packed us an appetizer of fruit and cheese, […]

I’ll do an update of the weekend in my next post, but here are Friday’s eats! Breakfast – 5 PPV 4 Egg Whites, toast with 1/4 smashed avocado and berries. Black Coffee.   Snack – 0 PPV Un-Pictured Two Apples. While sitting in a class of about 50 people, and only the speaker speaking, my stomach was growling like crazy, and I just looked at the guy beside and said….”Sorry about that.” Lunch – 5 PPV Lunch was at 4:30, and it was the only protein I could find in my house. Carrots Sticks and a can of Tuna mixed with light mayo and pickle relish, all stuffed in some lettuce leaves. I ate the entire large can of tuna!   Un-pictured Beers – 14 PPV I went to visit a friend for a Friday afternoon beer. It turned into a late night out after I had dinner with the hubs. […]

Yikes! I had to revise my post from yesterday, because I completely forgot to include Jazzercise in my daily activity points or even mention the fact that I went to Jazzercise on Wednesday. How I could forget to mention a sweaty hour of jumping up and down, I do not know. But, I did. My activity points are all updated now. It was another day at the food truck yesterday! This is me getting ready to take orders! Seriously….I love this job.   And these are the two awesome people that I get the pleasure of working with! Sidney, the boss, the owner, the creator, the genius, is on the left, and that’s Nina on the right. She’s okay.  Yeah, totally kidding. I am in love with Nina, and she is leaving us in two weeks to move to Norway for a year! She’s going to be so hard to replace. The […]

(Revised: I completely forgot to include my Jazzercise class in this post! How could I forget an hour of crazy, sweaty activity? I’ve updated my activity points to include my class.)   Would you believe I had a hard time eating all of my points yesterday?? Yeah, I can’t believe it either! I ran out of greek yogurt, so I just took a big fruit bowl to eat at the food truck for my lunch, then when I came home, I basically had marinara and spaghetti squash in the fridge and no meat, so my point consumption for the day, so far was  really LOW! And….I was satisfied. I snacked on things throughout the afternoon, and had a salad for dinner, but I still didn’t eat all of my points, and I did NOT go to bed hungry. I got out earlier than usual again and got a few miles […]
