Just a Little Catching Up!

Since I indulged a bit over the weekend, I wanted to make sure yesterday was a great and healthy day. I ate 26 points. I went to Jazzercise after lunch, and I went to Yoga before dinner! I’m feeling pretty fantastic! Guess who got an award for attending 25 Yoga Classes? This girl. The Reward was a Chocolate Kiss. It made me giggle that I got a piece of candy as an award for exercising, but I think it’s dark chocolate, so I’m certain that it’s good for me. 🙂 Here are yesterday’s eats…. Breakfast – 6 PPV We have a produce stand down the road that had the best peaches last year, and I could hardly wait to get my hands on some of those this year! Yesterday was the day! I swear they are as sweet as candy. Peaches and Vanilla Creme Oatmeal and two Frothy Coffee’s   Lunch – […]

Weekend Fun, Friends and Food

I’ve had a busy and full weekend and I allowed little time for blogging. A couple of friends came over Friday for a small Happy Hour. Happy Hour started at 4:00 pm and ended at Midnight. Saturday I was very busy……sleeping in. My 8:00 am Yoga class did NOT happen. Saturday evening, Mike and I had a date night. We went out for Mexican food, and the only thing that I drank was water, and more water, and then some more water. Did I mention that Happy Hour lasted longer than an hour? After dinner, movies on the couch. Possibly my new favorite way to spend a Saturday night. Sunday was a date day with Mike that included Church, followed by a friendly debate between the two of us (we’re Catholic), a little clothes shopping, Lunch while watching the Royals game at our favorite neighborhood spot, Yoga class, then babysitting grand […]

Feeling Strong

My Weight Watcher week begins on Friday, and I’m feeling really good about this past week. My goals for the end of July and the month of August are…. Exercise Jazzercise three times a week (I’ve never gone more than once or twice a week) Yoga one time a week (I’ve never made a Yoga commitment….I just go when the mood strikes me). Walking three miles at least two times a week. Food – Only Allow myself to eat 10 of the 49 Extra Weekly Points. Drinks – Drink only ONE time per week.    I did make it to three Jazz classes, I went to Yoga two times, and I completed a 5K. So things were switched up a bit, but I got in 6 days of good exercise, which is the point of having my plan. I did eat half of my 49 points instead of only 10. I only […]

Healthy Day, Happy Day

I planned my food for the day a little better yesterday than I did the day before. I spread my points out throughout the day, I allowed myself to eat a delicious lunch at the food truck, I snacked smart, I ate Cake AND Ice Cream, I stayed within my 26 points and I went to Jazzercise. Yay. Good day. Here are yesterday’s eats….. Pre-Breakfast – 1 PPV Banana and  Frothy Coffee made with Vanilla Flavored Coffee, Vanilla Stevia Drops and topped with cinnamon.   Breakfast – 5 PPV Light English Muffin with Egg Whites and 30 g Smashed Avocado, Strawberries and a Pear.   Lunch – 8 PPV Pork Bahn Mi Bowl at the Food Truck   Snack – 3 PPV I ate the missing 1/4 (basically, two bites) of this really rich, Cherry Filled Iced Chocolate Brownie Cake at the Food Truck. Yuuuummmmmm. Two co-workers ate their 1/4, and then I […]

Too Many Points…Too Little Points

Yesterday I was out of the house and busy. By the end of the day, I really had to work at dinner to get my points in, where as the day before I was at home all day and I ate more points than I needed to eat. It’s funny how the brain can work sometimes. One day, practically all that I am thinking  about is food and eating, and the next day, food and eating (or should I say overeating) is not on the brain at all. I had a great breakfast yesterday and I headed off to work (doing food prep for the Food Truck this week) without a plan for lunch.  We worked from 10-3 and I never really thought about eating anything, except for a taste of cheese. It was about 4:00 pm. by the time I made lunch at home. Obviously, I did not plan well for my […]

A Lotta Chores, a Lotta Snackin!

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 […]

Ahhh…..Sleep

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!!   […]

5K Bubble Run

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 […]

30 Years Later…..

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 […]
