I am still trying to figure this WW thing out.  I was going through my Complete Food Companion book and no joke, Squirrel is on the list!  It’s right there: Squirrel, cooked, 1oz  = 1 point.  No offense to those that might eat it, but are you kidding me?! 

Squirrel is a rodent, is it not?  Why […]

It’s official, I am now part of a Weight Watcher’s group.  I went to a work meeting sponsored by a competitor right across the street.  I almost felt like a spy going into the heart of the other bank, infiltrating their WW’s meeting, and absorbing secrets from their conference room.  The secret is that they’re just like me.  Challenging themselves […]

Got on the scale this am, thinking today should be great!  I ran yesterday morning, played an intense game of soccer last night, and hit the driving range afterwards for a little relaxed golf time.  Woke up this am, hopped on the scale, and up a pound today.  What?  That shouldn’t be.  I realize it could […]

I went to the local running store yesterday and bought myself a new pair of shoes.  I have decided to make a new tradition for myself.  Why wait for Mondays or New Year’s Resolutions?  I’m going to use my new shoes as motivation to spur along my commitment to becoming heart healthy at 140 lbs.  New shoes = up coming foot race/personal […]

Struggling with preparation right now.  Last night I splurged… there are, as usual, a million excuses.  What it boils down to is prep work and it seems I get caught up in things more than I like.  Mick had his softball championship game last night and I went to cheer them on.  My boys won - You rock […]

Last night was such a great night! My Mom had us over for dinner and we sat around outside, laughed, relaxed, ate wonderful food, and just had a great time together! 
I think I’ve mentioned before that my Mom is my running partner which is awesome because that’s how we get our quality Mother/Daughter time. I think we both need this time together and I […]

The vengeful alarm clock showed me who was boss this morning. I don’t know what happened but the darn alarm clock blew up!  Okay, I exaggerate but the darn thing for some reason was buzzing throughout a good part of the night.  I seriously don’t know what happened.  I set the alarm for 5 am like normal workout […]

I weighed in this morning at 170 lbs.  That’s a 4 lb release in less than one week.  Wahoo!  Prior to my vacation I fluctuated between 172 - 177 lbs.  Well no more!  Here we come 160’s! 
I’m a firm believer in positive thought and that what we think & tell ourselves internally is what we become.  So I am releasing this […]

I have started moving again! It’s awesome! I feel like my spirit is lighter than air, despite the 174 lbs of physical matter that accompanies it.  My 2 mile run, though brief and slow, this morning was filled with mega happy endorphins!  Let’s hear it for those freakishly happy little cells!  :)  
I think I have nearly […]

Slowly bouncing back from crabbiness.  My family and I took a vacation to South Dakota.   It was a beautiful 3 day drive out there and a wonderful trip despite a nasty case of food poisoning that landed me in the doctor’s office midway through our trip.  Needless to say I spent the first week of our vacation down & […]
