I wish I could tell you that I learned a valuable lesson about how lucky I am to have heat most of the time.  So many people have to struggle to heat their homes through the winter.   And while that truly is a terrible thing, no I did not learn anything.  Last night and this [...]

Even before my alarm went off, I was curled in the fetal position, trying to get this weird nauseous feeling to pass.  I got up to shower and shake it off, and ended up getting sick.  No details…but I’m sure some of you know that’s not pleasant on an empty stomach.  I still felt lousy [...]

I went to the gym around 2 pm for my planned cardio workout.  A few of you mentioned you wouldn’t bother working out if you’d forgotten socks.  I definitely would’ve skipped my workout but since I did that yesterday, I knew I needed to sweat.  I used the Cybex for 20 minutes and cranked up [...]

I made American Chop Suey for dinner using spinach penne, ground turkey, and a can of corn.  I forgot to cook the corn before adding it to the mix, but I resolved the problem by putting the HUGE serving bowl into the microwave for 30 seconds.  I ate my American Chop Suey with a small [...]

I had a container of vanilla Chobani, lots of granola, and a spoonful of pumpkin butter.  Tasty! I wore green diamond patterned tights to work today.  Patterned tights add some interesting texture to an outfit and they’re more fun than the plain black tights I usually wear. I snacked on an apple berry VitaMuffin.  When [...]

Today’s work outfit:  I own so many scarves.  I love every pattern and color combo.  I have a white winter jacket and I’m always afraid my makeup will rub off on the color.  So I just add a dark colored scarf and pull it up on the sides of my face.  Staining prevented! I sat [...]

I ate several small random snacks throughout the day.  I probably didn’t eat enough but I never got really hungry because I drank a lot of coffee this morning.  (1st snack was an un-photographed bagel chips with Laughing Cow cheese) From an Apple… To a Z bar!!! I almost skipped the gym today so I [...]

Here’s my Oatmeal Breakfast Cookie as it appeared last night before I put it in the fridge.  It contains: 1/2 cup of oatmeal 2 tablespoons of peanut butter 1 tablespoon of brown sugar 1 tablespoon of blueberry flax seed 1 banana sprinkle of cinnamon splash of milk This morning I added a spoonful of plain [...]

Friday… Celebrated Halloween Eve with some pumpkin coffee from DD. I snacked on crackers with Laughing Cow cheese. We had a Halloween Party at work.  They handed out cookies that looked eerily similar… …to Miles’ dog treats! Dinner was BBQ chicken and a baked potato topped with cheddar cheese and plain Chobani. We celebrated the [...]

After shedding a few tears of frustration and attending the Shecky’s Girl’s Night Out event, I am starting to get over my bad mood from yesterday.  I have a meeting at 10:15 to discuss whether or not I need to take the prerequisite undergrad computer course before I can get a diploma.  Thanks for the [...]
