Smart Habit Saturdays

I did really well this week with my goal of 8,000 steps a day. There was only one day that I didn’t get 8,000 steps in, but the other 6 days I surpassed my goal. It’s amazing how many steps you can get in when you walk in place while making dinner!
Tuesday is the last [...]

My day has come!

For Christmas, Dave got me the best present I can remember receiving in recent history: a day off. He got me gift certificates to Bob Evans (love it!), Starbucks (love it!), and a local day spa (hell ya!) and said he would take a day off work so that I can leave the [...]

Kangaroo-footed thing

Last night, we were playing around with a towel and Jake was pretending to be a superhero (see picture below). I made a comment that the cape was a little long and he looked a little bit like a hobbit.
Dave thought this was hilarious. He got down on his knees and proceeded to [...]

MDWLC - Week one

I had a pretty good week. I’ve been loving my new pedometer, but unfortunately I’ve been loving candy this week, too. But the good news is: I DIDN’T GAIN!
Sometimes, that is a GREAT thing based on how you ate/drank/excercised that week. I didn’t give myself a specific weight loss goal for the week because I [...]

6288 feet

When a group of friends approached me to go on a road trip with them, I was all for it. I was looking forward to getting out of town for awhile and also jumped at the opportunity to spend some time with the guy I was interested in (despite the fact that he made it [...]

An easy scapegoat

Emma has been a little “off” for the past couple of days and we can’t really put our finger on what the problem is. She just seems not quite right. She’s a little more whiny and clingy than normal and nothing really seems to make her happy. For the first hour or [...]

Smart Habit Saturdays

Alrighty folks, I’m ready to jump right back in. And you know why? Because I have a wonderful husband. Last week I posted how my habit of 8k steps a day on the pedometer became an impossibility because my pedometer broke. While Dave got me this for Mother’s Day and I LOVE IT!
It’s actually [...]

Memeology

Zany Mama tagged me for this wicked long meme, like, 100 years ago (1 week, 100 years…who’s really counting?) and I am just now getting around to doing it. It’s kinda cool. But only kinda.
FOODOLOGY
Q. What is your salad dressing of choice?A. I’ve always been a ranch kind of girl but red wine [...]
