IMG_1722_thumb.jpg

Wow, Day 21 already!  Have you ever heard that it takes 21 days to form a habit?  Well, the smart folks at Whole9 say that it isn’t that easy.  Our daily e-mail stated that it takes on average, 66 days to form a habit. I definitely feel like this is becoming habit to me. My [Read On]

Chobani Bite

I’ve been seeing pictures being posted of the new Chobani Bite on Instagram lately.  Particularly the Coffee with Chocolate Chunks flavor.  Coffee and chocolate? Yes, please!  I stopped at Target on the way home from work the other day and finally found some. I’ve heard people complain that it’s too small but I think it’s [Read On]

Sweet and Salty Coconut Shrimp

Last night we Dane made another recipe from my Best Darn Food Ever cookbook.  We typically eat shrimp one day a week but neither of us ever considered making Coconut Shrimp at home.  I found this recipe and knew I wanted to give it a try. As you can see, there aren’t a lot of ingredients but this [Read On]

Gym Switch

I’ve been a member at the Gold’s Gym in our town for a little over a year now.  I’ve never really gotten into a regular routine because I didn’t feel completely comfortable there.  My contract was up in November and I’ve been trying to decide what I was going  to do.  My sister and her [Read On]

Don’t slash your tires

Yesterday was another good day.  When I get back on track, I always wonder why I couldn’t remember this feeling when I was totally off course.  I haven’t been perfect but I’m making better choices than I was and I’m actually tracking everything I eat.  When I was way off in la-la land, I would [Read On]

Hi there and Happy December!  Wow, this year seriously went by in a flash! I spent the week recovering from my surgery on Monday and am feeling much better.  My incisions are healing very nicely and the pain is subsiding more and more every day.  Tuesday and Wednesday were probably the worst days.  Every time I [Read On]

Good Morning and Happy Hump Day!  As I mentioned yesterday, I decided I’m going to start posting my food on the blog again in hopes that it will encourage me to make better choices.  We never went grocery shopping over the weekend, so we didn’t have a whole lot of food in the house. I [Read On]

I met up with Kim at 8:00 this morning in the same place we ran on Thursday to tackle Week 2 Day 3.  For some reason I was thinking it would be somewhat cool, but boy was I wrong! The sun was really hot and there wasn’t as much of a breeze today.  Either way, we did [Read On]

Sleep over sweat

I keep saying that I’m going back to early morning workouts but when the alarm goes off at the crack of dawn, I’m instantly drawn to the snooze button.  Dang it! I was doing so good there for awhile, but now I’m just so used to sleeping in.  (if you consider 5:45am sleeping in)  Dane [Read On]
