Not sure if my body has finally adjusted or what but this morning I got up at 5am to work out and I don’t feel like a tired zombie yet…Technically the night is still early so who knows, I may wind up in bed by 9… we shall see. Let’s just hope my body’s not… Continue Reading

My camera is sad
Why you ask? Because it has a bunch of cool pictures on it that it hasn’t been able to share with you. For example, last nights spicy corn on the cob, BBQ chicken and Annie’s. Or tonight’s pork loin stuffed with sun dried tomatoes, goat cheese and spinach (Chris liked it, verdict is still out… Continue Reading
The time I ate cereal for dinner
I’ve tried not to complain very much about the heat around here. But tonight it was hot. 92 degrees during the car ride home. Dinner was a struggle-fest. Even though I’d planned on making pork loin Chris said he wasn’t feeling it and wanted BBQ chicken with Annie’s. Which sounded great except that I hadn’t… Continue Reading
Watermelon infused water + our dinners for the week
If there is such a thing as “hot spinning,” I’m pretty sure I did it. I hopped on our spin bike around 5pm and rode for 45 minutes in what felt nearly identical to a sauna. Sweat-y. It was in the 90′s today and we don’t have air conditioning so the ceiling fan and an… Continue Reading
Black, Blue & Delicious + I need a new book
It’s going to be a hot one today. We’re talking 97 degrees which rarely happens here. There’s even an extreme weather advisory. Yikes. Hope I don’t melt :) And I can already tell I’m going to need some serious sunscreen because by 7:30 we had our living room fan turned on (PS we have no… Continue Reading
I have 1 million mosquito bites
I’m serious. Like it looks like I have the chicken pox. And they’re everywhere, including places bugs should never be venturing. And it’s baffling to me. Did I not feel the bugs when they were crawling/flying/biting these places? Am I numb? Were these magic bugs? Chris was adamant about the mosquitoes when we were in… Continue Reading
Sun River + the best smoothie ever
Hola! Happy Saturday morning to you :) Today is an extra good one for me since I’m hanging out in Sun River for the next few days. For those of you not familiar, Sun River is near Bend in Central Oregon and just so happens to be one of my favorite places ever. I just… 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
