A Valentine’s Day Plan

On February 14, 2008 By

We decided to take the toddler out to Bertucci’s Brick Oven Pizza to celebrate Valentine’s Day. I went in opened eyed and with a plan. You need a plan for a place like that.  Well, I NEED a plan for a place like that.

The plan was simple, order a soup so I can [...]

It’s the middle of the semester and I still haven’t found my groove yet. I feel like my schedule is held together by paper clips and scotch tape. Literally, I’m flying by the seat of my pants. Tonight after dinner (the only time I had to hit the gym) I barely had enough energy to [...]

Following my Own Advice

On February 6, 2008 By

AAACK! I weighed in tonight at a disappointing 145.2 lbs.  I know it’s not the end of the world but you all know that feeling when you are trying so hard and the scale just won’t cooperate. So I’m giving myself the same pep talk I give others when they email me with this exact [...]
