I feel sorry for naturally skinny girls. They never have an excuse for a dateless Friday night. They can’t blame their lack of friends on their clothing size. They don’t even get to use their weight as the cause of their tiredness or depression. How horrible it must be to go through life without a reason or an excuse for all the unpleasant things.

As I sit here exhausted after another day of work and realizing it’s only TUESDAY I’m wondering if I’m the only one who doesn’t get enough sleep.

Right now it’s just about 11 PM. I woke up at 6:30, showered, made breakfast, spent an hour in rush hour traffic, worked all day, ran errands after work, made dinner, made lunches, cleanup up, helped put the little guy to bed, pulled something out for dinner tomorrow and finally sat on couch and watched a little TV while I caught up on email and posted my dinner o GreenLiteBites. All this in a house that’s only 65% unpacked after our recent move. [Read more →]

It’s been forever since I’ve done a good old fashion Food Find. Now that I’m getting comfortable in my new home I feel I can spend a little more time grocery shopping and stocking (I’m very much a buy in bulk stock-er type of shopper so the whole temporary living situation for that last 2 months really crimped my style).

I totally want to tell you about my Sunday but I’m beat. So I’m going for the bullet point approach as I try to keep my eyes open. [Read more →]

I had a bit of a meltdown today. It wasn’t a stomp my feet and go crying out of the room meltdown but it was a meltdown all the same.

When I got home from work, I just couldn’t deal. I felt so overwhelmed. I know part of it, most of it, is my own doing. I’m famous for biting off more then I can chew. I know this and I’m working on it. But there’s just so many darn things I want to accomplish! [Read more →]

Unpacking tonight I came across the bathroom scale. Now… I haven’t weighed myself in months. MONTHS! If you know my scale history at all this is quite an accomplishment as I was a daily weigher. But if you look at my weight progress this year I haven’t updated because I have literally stepped away from the scale. I packed it up in June and put it in storage while we waited for the new house to be built. [Read more →]

How long has it been?!? Geesh! I miss the question of the "When ever I have time." ;~)

This one is totally inspired by my new house. I’ve never hid the fact that I’m a night time snacker. While losing weight I’d routinely save up points to enjoy popcorn and ice cream in the evening. I even eat within an hour of going to bed. All this snacking always happened, yup, you guessed it, on the couch in front of the TV. [Read more →]

Pat yourself on the back. You got up this morning. Made your favorite breakfast with the little guy. Got to work on time. Cooked dinner after coming home later then expected. Prepared lunches for you and the child. Finished putting together the rest of the furniture and even posted a quick idea on GreenLiteBites.

And look at this Food Journal! [Read more →]

Oh My Word!

I just finished my very first Chocolate Mint VitaTop and I’m in heaven! It was exactly what I needed after my long day. Chocolaty. Refreshing. Totally Deliscious!

But before I tell you more about it let me give you a quick update… [Read more →]

Oh My.. I SO wish this was a regular old post. You know, like, hey… this is what happened today. Here’s what I’m eating. What I’m feeling. Yada yada. But alas we are STILL MOVING!

This really is the longest move in the history of moves. And believe me, I should know. I moved at least 20 times over the course of my life. Never again though. I swear, they are going to have to roll my cold, dead, 90 year old body out of this place. Cause I ain’t moving ever again!

Thankfully my in-laws came down to help. It’s because of them the POD is e-m-p-t-y and I am ECSTATIC!!

Here’s the situation right now… [Read more →]
