My Go-To Healthy Snacks

The idea of only eating three meals a day – breakfast, lunch and dinner – just doesn’t work for me.  It never has.  You see, I get hangry (hungry – angry) when I don’t eat a few times throughout the day.  So I’ve learned to adapt with small snacks in between meals.  I have a […]

Fitbit Flex vs Fitbit Charge HR {My Review}

Activity trackers are all the rage right now.  There are ones that track your steps, your sleep, your heart rate, the number of stairs you take, and even vibrate whenever you put chocolate to your lips.  I kid, I kid about the chocolate warning.  But seriously these trackers can do some amazing stuff! I’ve worn […]

Weight Loss Wednesday: Week 9

And we’re off with another installment of Weight Loss Wednesday.  I am proud to say that I’ve made some real strides this past month.  I really have to thank Whole30 for that because it kicked my butt into gear big time.  As I’m typing this – I can’t move my arms of my head very […]

Weight Loss Wednesday: Week 8

I can’t believe it’s been 2 months since I’ve started these posts… I guess time flies when you’re having whatever this is… I’m also 13 days into my Whole30 experience.  So I haven’t weighed myself or anything.  I can tell clothes are fitting better, but I’m not sure if that’s Whole30 contributed or a combination of […]

Weight Loss Wednesday: Week 7

I have to be honest with you.  I mean, it’s more like being honest with myself.  Nonetheless it has to be done.  I have not lost any weight since I’ve started Weight Loss Wednesdays.  I’m so ashamed!  It’s been 7 weeks – seven. weeks.  I don’t know where my head was at.  I was hoping […]

Weight Loss Wednesday: Week 6

I survived all of the holiday craziness.  Barely.  I feel like all I did was eat, sit around and study, and play board games with my family.  Actually, that is all I did the past week.  I tried, I really tried to eat better, but those damn cookies got me.  I still didn’t do as […]

Weight Loss Wednesday: Week 5 (2 days late)

Alright, so I’m not very punctual this week.  I have my reasons, promise.  I was in Marco Island Florida until late Tuesday night celebrating my sister’s wedding.  It was beautiful there!  Sunny, warm and sand everywhere.  Then we came home to 30 degree temps and freezing rain last night.  My sister was gorgeous and her […]

Weight Loss Wednesday: Week 4

I guess it’s about time I step on the scale to see where I’m at.  I’d like to set specific goals to work towards.  I would also like rewards for reaching those goals.  Not food rewards, people.  More tangible items like shoes, a massage (which I realize is not tangible, but it’s still leaves me […]

Weight Loss Wednesday: Week 3

  I still haven’t stepped on a scale since I started these weight loss Wednesday posts.  I’m afraid that I won’t show progress.  I’m afraid of how heavy I truly am.  I’m afraid of setting unrealistic goals for myself.  I know that I need to so I know my starting point.  But I’m not sure […]

Weight Loss Wednesday: Week 2

Well it’s week 2 of my weight loss journey and I’m back, which means I haven’t given up.  I have to admit I was much more aware this week of what I was eating and how much I was moving around.  It was a hard week for me.  I was out of town this past […]
