She’s Gone.

She’s Gone.
Yep, our car of nearly 12 years has officially died.  Turns out it needs a whole new transmission, but with 145,000 miles on it, it’s not worth getting it fixed.  Tony is going to be checking out some cars for me – luckily we have the car rental for a full week so we don’t have to rush into anything.   I just didn’t expect...

Tony to the Rescue!

Tony to the Rescue!
With all the leftover Mexican fiesta food from our Memorial Day feast, you are going to see lots of Mexican food leftovers this week.   I am not complaining one bit. Breakfast was two breakfast tacos – 2 corn tortillas, 2 eggs, some sauteed peppers, 2 tablespoons of refried beans on the bottom, some salsa, lettuce and a bit of cheese.  Breakfast comes in at...

Lovely Long Weekend

Lovely Long Weekend
I think I could really get used to four day weekends.  It’s enough time to get all your chores done and feel like you can relax before heading back to work. On Friday I met with a personal trainer at my gym.  Um, turns out that all they wanted to do was “sell” me the personal trainer program.  The minimum purchase was $99 for three...

I have the day off!

I have the day off!
I swear, sometimes if my head wasn’t already stuck on the top of my head, I’d forget to bring it with me!  I forgot to pick a winner from last weeks giveaway! My manners are awful. 😀   So the winner of the Do Life Visor goes to: True Random Number GeneratorMin: 0 Max:  25 Result: 24 24.  Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips onMay 18,...

Eat Me Biz!

Eat Me Biz!
Note to self:  If you don’t go to bed until 12:00 a.m., you will never get up in time to go to the gym the next day.  I hate when I stay up too late on a work night! Note taken. I did have time to do my 30 minute Classical Stretch – this one was called “feet and knees” and I swear at least...

It was a sandwich day.

It was a sandwich day.
Those of you who follow me on facebook know that I got my ass to the gym yesterday for some strength training.  Bad ass!  But, um, I really don’t know what I am doing.  At all.  I kind of just went from machine to machine until I thought I hit at least every muscle group at least once.  It took me 40 minutes!   I...

A shitty salad.

A shitty salad.
Okay, I may have a new favorite flavor of chobani – LEMON!  Holy shizz is that one good – slightly sweet/tart, with lemon zest.  It made for a totally refreshing breakfast parfait with fresh strawberries, pear and granola.  This one comes in at 343 calories, 1.9 fat, 63 carbs, 5.4 fiber and 21 protein. Here is a tip for any diabetics out there, or if...

First WI for Inspiration Diet

First WI for Inspiration Diet
I had such a great weekend.  I unplugged – I think I was on the computer all of about 15 minutes the whole weekend – love it! Friday night Tony and I sat outside and grilled.  It was so perfect, we love this time of year before the mosquitos and bugs are out.  Our dog loves it too – although our neighbors cottonwood tree is...

Flashback Friday

I have my inspirational video of Ben who pushed me through my run yesterday.  Four miles is long for me – but I figured if I could run a 3.1 5k, what’s .9 more miles?  Thanks for all your comments and likes on facebook! The time included a 5 minute warm up.  My goal is to up the mileage so that I can run shorter...

Roast Beef Breakfast Burritos

Roast Beef Breakfast Burritos
I am loving the emails and comments on how everyone is liking my Inspirational Diet!  I am three days in and I have to say its given me a renewed purpose.  I was just going through the motions with WW.  I am not saying I don’t like the program, because I do.  But I just lost my mojo on it. I can’t tell you the...
