And the winner is…
2008-01-12 00:28:00 I can’t just come out an tell you can I? I need to make it at least a little dramatic. I wasn’t lying when I told you the toddler would pick the winner. Here’s how it worked… I assigned each entry a number. The husband wrote all the numbers out and the toddler plucked one out of a bowl. Of course I had to snap a few pictures! So, can you see it? Can you? It’s Number 5! I guess that doesn More About: Winner
Hard Workouts and Easy Food
2008-01-11 05:35:00 Gosh darn fast food, I thought I was done with it! I’ve been doing really good, avoiding the stuff but I totally caved tonight. Let me start at the beginning. The toddler and I hit the gym this evening for the cardio class.

Short & Sweet
2008-01-10 04:44:00 Alright, this going back to work thing is kicking my butt! I don’t think I can keep with all the things I want to do. I have officially hit the point where there isn’t enough hours in the day. I don’t know about you but as I get older I find I just don’t want to compromise things I want to do for me and for my family. What I mean is there are some non-negotiable things, like cooking a More About: Sweet , Short
Dancing with ‘the husband’ was…
2008-01-09 05:49:00 ...AWESOME! The class was great, the instructor was great and the other 4 couples were great! And thank god they were, they make you swap partners! It was a little awkward at first but everyone was so friendly we got comfortable pretty fast. We covered the basic steps of swing, the foxtrot and the waltz and we have homework!

More Food Finds and No More Munchies
2008-01-08 05:45:00 I hope you don’t mind but I’m bringing back the food finds. At first I thought I would post all food related stuff on my new food blog GreenLiteBites but that really has become more of a recipe blog then a product blog and I like it that way. So (not that you needed this big long explanation) I decided to continue to write reviews for low point products I find here. I realize I’m not the only More About: Food
Swiss Miss Diet Hot Cocoa
2008-01-08 02:38:00 I saw Swiss Miss Diet while shopping last weekend and after seeing it was only 25 calories a servings with no fat and 1 g of fiber (0 points!) I thought it was worth a try! To be honest I wasn’t expecting much, nothing with only 25 calories can be that good. This low expectation created a pleasant surprise. I think I may have actually said aloud, “Humpf! Not bad!” I was right, it’s not the More About: Cocoa
Bringing back the Sensational Sunday!
2008-01-07 04:16:00 It’s been awhile since I recapped a Sensational Sunday , hasn’t it? I have some new readers so I’ll quote my original post… I think motivation is contagious and I think we can start a movement, a movement to begin our weeks, every week, with a Sensational Sunday. If we take just a little time to recognize what we have, where we are, where we’ve been and where we want to be we can set the More About: Back
I STOPPED the Insanity!
2008-01-06 03:53:00 Why can’t I say that line without thinking Susan Powter? Remember her? But man she had it right, didn’t she? It really is insanity. Today I was a bottomless pit. Finally after a hours of constant eating I said “That’s enough!, I’m going to take a bath.” That was about 45 minutes ago. Now it’s off to bed early. I wasn’t even going to post but after the bath I felt renewed and figured I’d More About: Insanity

'08 is already GREAT!
2008-01-02 03:00:00 I just had a FABULOUS day. One of those ‘start off with a workout, get tons of errands done, spend awesome quality family time, accomplish much work, eat right, drink a ton of water, feel great’ kind of days! That being said I still have a ton to do! I will updating my goal page tomorrow (I haven’t touched it since starting my jounry) with 2008 goals and posting my lunch recipe from today.

Resolutions vs. Goals
2008-01-01 07:21:00 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I wanted to start the year off with a list of things I am going to try to accomplish in 2008. While putting together list I started thinking of all my failed resolutions of past. Then I started think of why I failed them. I think the answer is simple. I made a unrealistic resolution instead of an attainable goal. You say the difference is semantics, I say it's a state More About: Goals , Resolutions , Resolution
Sensational Sunday with Sauce and a Snack Attack
2007-12-31 06:21:00 The title pretty much sums it up. The day started with a bit of sauce making. Notice my little chef in training and his FABULOUS play dough meat balls! It way my way of keeping his eager hands out of the raw meat. Worked like a charm! We even “baked” his in the microwave (no heat of course) and pretended to eat them. ;~) I did not go to the gym today BUT I worked my tail off, cleaning, More About: Sunday , Snack , Sauce , Attack , Atta

2007-12-29 05:30:00 Still fighting the cold but getting better. I actually got a lot accomplished today. I love being on vacation so I can work on my own projects, isn’t that sad.

2007-12-28 05:39:00 That’s how I feel. Before I tell you about my crappy day scroll down a bit and check out my morning scale reading. HOLY COW! That is the highest I’ve seen the scale in over a year at least. I’m not freaking out, I am NOT freaking out. Pasta Queen described my thoughts perfectly in her post Guilt-free Christmas cookies.

Holiday Goals and Wish
2007-12-23 19:35:00 Sorry I’ve been absent for the past few days. As you all know it’s THAT time of year. Shopping, cooking (LOTS of cooking), wrapping, cleaning, I could go on and on. I’m not journaling, I’ve been trying to get to the gym here and there but even that isn’t happening as much as I would like. I decided to declare my holiday goals because I feel like if I don’t things may get out of hand. I More About: Holiday , Goals

Crazy Gym Observation and Revelations
2007-12-17 19:53:00 I saw the STRANGEST thing at the gym today. There was a women working out on the nautilus machine in “normal” clothes. That may not sound too bizarre but close your eyes and imagine… Ya ready? A 30-something female in a blue turtle neck sweater, black slacks and dress shoes finishing a set on the chest press and moving to the ab machine. Ya got the mental picture?

YOU give great advice – so I took it.

Something’s going on…
2007-12-14 05:37:00 I’ll say it again, a small shift in my schedule and I’m all off. Now that the semester is over, there just seems to be something going on with me. I’m not happy between 9-11PM unless there is food in arms reach. I think I need to mix things up a bit. Maybe I’ll start posting in the morning or hitting the gym after the toddler goes to bed.

2007-12-10 05:21:00 Staying up late when the toddler is in an early phase is not recommended. I’m exhausted tonight!

Light Touch Muffins - A Review
2007-12-08 06:17:00 A few weeks ago, Andrew from Linda’s Diet Delites asked if I’d try and write a review for Light Touch Muffins . He sent me a sample of the Zucchini flavor and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. I mean it’s a zucchini muffin! How good could it possibly be? Well, I think you’ll be surprised by the answer.

More articles from this author:2007-12-07 05:49:00 I cave. Just a week ago, I got on my soapbox and declared my hatred of fast food. I believe my exact quote was… “…I am starting a boycott of fast food restaurants that do not provide good service or good food. Life is too short to waste a meal on junk and deal with bad service.” Alight so I’m still good. I did NOT really break my boycott when I went to Chick-fil-A tonight.
