The Weight of My Weight

I woke up super early and my only desire was to cuddle up on the couch with my frothy coffee and watch a movie. So I did. It was so nice and relaxing, I watched another one. Mike had gone into the office for a few hours and I knew when he got home, we had a few chores to work on together for most of the day. I took a great walk Sunday after my movie watching. I headed out ready to run ONE mile, then walk. I had an idea of the route I would take. If I went the way I had planned, I could start out running my mille, and it would all be downhill. It was perfect! I kept a good pace and enjoyed the scenery.  I was going to run to the end of the path, then turn and come back, but there were […]

I had plans with my Little Sis to head to downtown to the big City Market for a fun Saturday morning, but due to the rain, we changed our plans. Samone snapped a few pics of us with my phone…… (I really don’t think in person that my hair looks THAT gray!!!)   It seemed like a perfect movie day, and we just happen to have a new Movie Theatre! Cinetopia! So we checked it out. We got tickets to the Parlor. In the Parlor, it pretty much looks like a great big living room.There was a fire place, book shelves with actual books, (we debated if we could actually pick them up and browse through them or not) and lot’s of cozy seating. You can bring food in from the concession stand, or order from the menu. We decided to order from the menu. I ordered the Mediterranean Wrap […]

Attending my weekly Friday WW meetings has been a part of my life for a long time now, and not going to those meetings for the last 6 or 7 weeks has felt a little odd. In April, I watched baby Charlotte, and getting there with her was not quite as easy as I thought that it would be. I made it to one meeting that month. The first weekend in May, we were out of town, the second Friday in May, I worked, and the third weekend in May, we were out of town, so honestly, I was really looking forward to getting back to my Friday morning routine of a Starbuck’s and my meeting! I stopped looking at the scale at my weekly weigh in several weeks ago. I really don’t even know when that was. Maybe March? The number on the scale was messing with my mind […]

I spent most of the day cleaning and disinfecting! Ick. I do feel better though. If you read yesterday’s post, then you know why I did this. I really need to spend some time meal planning…..and possibly shopping as well. I have milk, eggs and english muffins. They were on the counter when I took this picture. This is one sad fridge. Due to a lack of groceries in the house, I made up a pizza that I’d never had before for breakfast. For lunch, I had Breakfast Quinoa?? We ate dinner out. Maybe I’ll buy some groceries today……   Here are yesterday’s eats! I’m off to my WW Meeting that I have missed so much!!   Breakfast Black Bean and Egg Breakfast Pizza, Apple Un-pictured Coffee with Frothy Skim Milk 7 PPV Ingredients 1 Light English Muffin, sliced 2 T. Pizza Sauce 3 Scrambled Egg Whites 1/8 Cup Black […]

Okay, really there is nothing Silly about this Rabbit story at all!! My dog, Tucker…..   ….seems to be taking some backwards steps as far as House Training goes. We’re dealing with a few other issues too, but the house training is the biggest problem. I’ve tried to crate him, and he just poop’s in it and rolls in it, which is a really big mess for me to have to clean up. I’ve tried to confine him to the kitchen while I am gone, but no matter what kind of a gate I rig up, he seems to get out. Mike has designed a special gate for the large opening to our kitchen and he should have it put together and in place by the end of the weekend. Wait, he WILL have it put together by the end of the weekend. 🙂 Each time I go out of […]

I took a little trip to Nashville over the weekend with a few girl friends, and I can honestly say, there was not ONE healthy decision made by any of us.  As far as nacho’s and onion rings, I’m quite certain that we ate all that existed in Nashville. Nacho Number One……and Yes, it was as big as it looks!   We acted like 20 somethings for three days straight.   Why wouldn’t you?     Mike said that every picture I sent him, I was holding a beer.     Then I found this picture! 🙂    We acted a little goofy at times.    Hot, huh? There’s that beer again……     We may have played a few innocent practical jokes. Never leave YOUR room key with your friends.     No doubt, we heard some awesome Bands and did a LOT of dancing!     I’m fairly […]

Well, it’s 4:00 in the morning, and I am heading out the door for a Girl’s Weekend in Nashville!   I didn’t give myself much time for a blog post! Next Friday I will finally be back to my WW meeting! I miss my routine! I had a really great week and I am really looking forward to this weekend! We come back on Monday, so I’ll write a post on Tuesday and I’ll have some new goals to talk about! Have a Wonderful and Healthy Weekend! “love the life you live, live the life you love”

But Before the Burrito…. MapMyFitness I’m trying out a new Fitness App, and I’m kinda liking it! I downloaded MapMyFitness and I’ve been playing with it a bit. I’m not familiar with all it has to offer yet, but one of the things that I really like about is that at the end of your workout, you can make notes and save them, then go back to it later.  I had set out yesterday to find a 1 mile route that I could start running regularly, then if I was feeling it, I would run it twice.  I’m working on a goal for June that has to do with running, and I thought a regular route might help me with my goal that I am working on. Well, that’s not at all what I ended up doing. Perhaps another day. Instead I walked a 5K route. 🙂 When I got […]

My day started off so great! First of all, I got to tell everyone about my new involvement with Big Brother Big Sister, and introduce my new Little Sis, Samone! Then I went to Yoga! I’m gonna like this Yoga thing. I did the 30 minute core class, then the 60 minute class that follows. At the end of the class, Stacey (yoga instructor) turned the lights down really low, turned up the music a bit, then walked around and gave every single one of us a nice little head massage with this awesome smelling oil! Ahhhhh, I was in heaven. Then I headed home. It was only like 11:00, but I was starving, so I ate lunch early and headed back out for more errands. I grabbed a Latte and decided my toes needed some work. Then I went to the grocery store. It was almost 3:00, and my […]

Be a Big! Before we left for our Mexico vacation in February, I jotted down a few things that I wanted to do when I came home. Some of the things that I wanted to do were little, and some were Big. I have thought about being a Big Sister with the Big Brother Big Sister Organization off and on for years. I thought more about it after Tess graduated from Hight School and left for College. Then after Tess graduated from College and moved to Dallas, I thought about it a lot! I have a friend that is a Big Sis, and I have asked her a few questions, and after talking to her a little bit about her experience and hearing her stories, I decided to look further into it. Before we left for our vacation, I filled out the application. When we returned from our vacation, I […]
