This idea came up when the site first, first started but I didn’t have much time to make it happen.

So I’m thinking the September challenge might be training for the virtual 5k, and then we’ll have the 5k in October. I know we are all at varying levels of walking/running so I want to give time to gear up. The theme of this 5k will be “No Foodie…[Read more]

Last day at work before NOLA! Its a busy day but I’m committed to getting everything done so I can go in peace.

It’s rainy today so I won’t be walking the lake, but you’ll see in my weekly action plan I have other activity lined up.

Eats today:

1. A protein shake (almond milk, a small part of a banana, PB2 and BiPro chocolate whey)
2. A subway…

Not really…but I like to think I’m taking over the world!

This week I head to New Orleans for OAC. This is a challenging eating locale and OAC only covers breakfast and sorta-dinners during the convention (Thursday night is heavy appetizers, Friday I think is a buffet style thing and Saturday I believe is the only real sit-down dinner).

I just want to let everyone going to the NOLA convention this year that I hope you have a wonderful time and safe travels!!! My husband and I LOVE NOLA and try to make it there at least once a year.

Grocery shopping was completed this morning and meals planned.

Breakfast – Caramelized Onion Quiche (from Nikki’s breakfast…[Read more]

Sunday fun day?

I dunno. But I don’t have a ton planned. I went to the farmers market to get pickling cucumbers because I have a bunch of dill I refuse to let go bad! I also got some tomatoes for salsa (because I have cilantro I refuse to let go bad) and I fell in love with a bushel of not-quite-ripe peaches (which hopefully means they’ll be…[Read more]

I bought a bikini eons ago (pre-mastectomy) and yesterday finally decided to put the dang thing on. And it looked good! I thought. I just wore the top + cut-offs and set about doing some stuff around the house, including checking on my garden, but I didn’t put anything on top of the bikini top to go out there. I was just brave and did it!

There…[Read more]
