My birthday is in a week. Our Nashville/Carolinas trip is in approx 6 weeks and summer will hit the NW as soon as we get back from that. And I would not consider myself “bikini” ready. In fact, I didn’t even feel bikini ready when we were in Maui. I’ve gotten in a bit of… Continue Reading

January Challenge
Alright, here it is. My January challenge. I did something similar last year and got in great shape not to mention, felt really good about cleaning up my diet. This year a fitness teacher at my gym upped the challenge and added even more ways to earn points. It’s a 5$ entry free and the… Continue Reading
2 October Challenges, family visits + I can’t stop eating M&Ms
Couple things to talk about today…the most interesting might be that I physically cannot stop eating M&Ms. Like seriously impossible. My mom gave me a bag of the minis which she said we were suppose to save and give out as Halloween Candy (um, have you met me and my sweet tooth) and I wasn’t… Continue Reading
A diet bet, a thank you, a summer run & a needle in my knee
Wow, I feel like I have a lot to talk about right now. First of all, thank you to all of you who said such kind and encouraging words after my post about my weight loss goals. It’s really comforting to know that there are other people out there like me who are dealing with… Continue Reading
7 pounds
I have a confession. I have gained 7 pounds since January. And for a while I tried to brush it off as water weight, too much salt, that time of the month…but it’s time to face the music. These 7 pounds are not going away on their own. I’m chalking it up largely to Journey’s… Continue Reading
Hot Dog

Hydrate in July
So I think we have a little challenge on our hands. After hearing from some of you, it sounds like we could all use a little help making sure we drink enough water (and those of you who are already rockstars can support everyone else). Not only does drinking water help you to maintain your… Continue Reading
Pizza, Cider + a water challenge?
Last night I ate pizza. And not like a normal human being 2 slices of pizza…we’re talking 5 slices and ranch on the side for dipping. Sheesh. I am out of control hahah. But the pizza was so good! We brought some Papa Murphy’s over to our friends’ (who are about to have a baby)… Continue Reading
Do not try this at home
This morning I woke up and wanted protein pancakes which I’ve made many, many times. Except I make them with cottage cheese and we don’t have any cottage cheese. So I proceeded to make up a random recipe. Um yeah, don’t try these. Unless you like a weird, mushy-filled, good-smelling pancake. Don’t try at home… Continue Reading
