Typical Weekend
I was so excited for school to be over so that I could have more free and family time. Well, I've been out of school for a month now and I still feel like I don't have enough time to get everything done. We spent yesterday at the beach, which means all of my housework was left until toda...

It's Time to Love MYSELF

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid
Wednesday, July 3, 2013
Be sure you read the title as it was intended - using the voice of the magician in "Frosty the Snowman". Last week I was thrilled to reach a milestone but this week has been just the opposite. I've done nothing! No workouts, not even the pool, and my food choices have been less than stellar. There have been some things going on but that's no excuse for me not to make healthy choices. Before long, I'll be working to reach that same milestone again....

Swimming
Although summer hasn't officially begun, it's hot enough to say it has. I'm looking forward to the water being warm enough in the pool for me to get in and start...
Feeling the Heat
Tuesday, June 4, 2013

Almost to Goal!

Emotional Eating

Can Childhood Friends Stand the Test of Time?
Friday, May 24, 2013

Caramel Frappe Dupe!
Monday, May 20, 2013

Processed Food
Saturday, May 18, 2013
I love processed food! Who doesn't?! Here's the deal though. How do we know what's good for us and what isn't? Yes, fresh fruits and veggies are awesome and we...
Ugh, McDonald's
Wednesday, March 20, 2013
