I love baking but I don’t do it very often because I have no shut-off valve for sugar and just end up eating whatever I bake. But it was my co-workers birthday so I decided it was time to give it a whirl. Big mistake. These cookie/brownie/bar things were amazing. I ate the batter, the… Continue Reading

The weekend where all I ate was halloween candy
I’m dead serious. This weekend could easily go down in history as the weekend when I did nothing but lay around the house, watch Dirty Dancing (twice!) and eat Halloween candy. And guess what? It was glorious!!! Chris was on a work trip and with him went my camera so you get to enjoy my… 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
Wake-up Call
My in-laws and Chris & I are all members of Willakenzie Estates and they held a special tasting event yesterday so all of us, plus a couple of our friends headed out to wine country for a day in the vineyards. We went to Willakenzie along with Penner Ash and tasted some great wines. When… Continue Reading
Mind over matter
That’s what Jillian told me this morning, “mind over matter.” She said this to me as I was doing her 30 Day Shred. The ENTIRE DVD. That would be all 3 levels in descending order. See normally, you’re supposed to do 1 level for a good 20 minute workout but I wanted to kick my… Continue Reading
Somebody needs a detox
Happy Monday. I’m currently en route from the beach. We wanted one more night at the coast so we got up early this morning for the hour and a half drive home. Then we’ll drop Chance off and get to work by about 9. I’m sipping on a 16oz non fat latte from The Human… Continue Reading
I am a cookie monster
I have eaten 5 servings of Mint Milano Meltaways. Yes, you just read that correctly. 5 servings. That’s 10 cookies at 700 calories. 700. I am cookie monster. And on top of that I’ve eating multiple York Peppermint Patties (minis), a mini bag of peanut M&Ms and a hefty amount of gluten-free pretzels. And it’s… Continue Reading
1st outdoor drinks at Journey’s
This actually happened last week but I’m a bit behind getting things posted. We headed over to Journey’s with Dan and Andy (Craig and Sunny joined later) for some drinks on the lawn. Cannot wait for summer when I won’t need to wear a down vest while drinking my cava. And because we’re on the… Continue Reading
Workout withdrawls
Besides walks in Maui and my one day of working out I have not really done anything active since Feb 1st. Crazy times. Worked out every day for the January Challenge and then fell off the wagon. Hard. But guess what? It’s actually been kind of nice. Sure, not very healthy for me. I could… Continue Reading
Crack Clusters
So this weekend my friend introduced me to cashew clusters from Costco but I think they should change the name to Crack clusters because I’m seriously addicted. I mean, literally cannot keep my hand out of the bag. It started yesterday when I was hungry on the train. “Just 5, 1 serving, 150 calories” I… Continue Reading
