After writing yesterday’s post I was feeling pretty down and the hubs asked if I wanted to sit down and talk about my feelings on the matter. I explained how I get so overwhelmed with the process that it always ends up with me backing down from my ultimate goals. The hubs matter of factly said– “Well, what [...]

I think sometimes people go into a diet or lifestyle change with a magic number in their minds. It could be an ideal weight. (If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard someone say “Oh I’d just be happy weighing what I did in high school” I’d be one rich girl.) It could [...]

Sunday is usually a lazy day around our house. It is the perfect day to unwind from all of the weekend madness. It’s also a perfect day to try a new recipe and cook dinner from scratch. The hubs was working today so we ended up spending an entire glorious day at our house. Tonight I turned [...]

Luckily after all of yesterday’s prep work last night’s pot-luck movie night turned out to be a great success. People brought tons of great food… The Sangria was flowing…. There was even an ice cream sundae buffet… Of course the best part of last night was a house full of family and friends. I absolutely love [...]

The hubs and I are big on get-togethers at our home. In fact, if you read the blog often, you know that we host monthly movie nights for family and friends. Since we have been traveling like crazy we decided to have a really casual Pot-Luck get together tonight and I am pretty stoked for [...]

While we most definitely send well wishes to our East Coast family and friends who will literally be weathering the storm this weekend I have to confess that our area is not supposed to be significantly impacted by Hurricane Irene. Apparently no one told 90% of our town this useful tidbit as our local Kroger [...]

Today a rarity occurred. The hubs and I decided to have a workweek lunch date. Since we both work downtown it would actually be pretty simple for us to get together during the week. However, for the sake of our wallets, waistlines, and time management we save the elusive Friday lunch date for special occasions. [...]

Whenever I put my beautiful corgi up next to a mirror she growls at her reflection. While I am positive she’s not critiquing her chubby tummy or slightly crooked smile there is clearly something in the mirror she doesn’t like. Take the reflection out of the equation and she is just as happy-go-lucky as the [...]

So today while at the office we randomly experienced an earthquake (along with most of the east coast!). I was sitting in supervision with my boss when the walls started shaking. We jokingly said “oh hey, it must be an earthquake” and it turns out….it was! Crazy right?!?! Work was pretty much a no go [...]

I’m going to be brutally honest here…Bagged dinners are usually not my thing. I love creating meals from scratch, controlling the ingredients, and monitoring the calories. It is also worth mentioning that because of this I have not made a “meal in a bag” in probably ten years. It turns out I have been missing out! As [...]
