Today was the first day my stomach didn’t hurt since Saturday! That was almost of week of cramps and pains and various other stomach problems (I will spare you the details). Even though I said that I was failing at BFL this week, the reality is I never really started. I was sick from day 1 and ... Read More about A Regular Day

Pumpkin Vitatop Parfait
Remember not too long ago, when I shared my knowledge about the new Vitatop flavor being Pumpkin? Well, I also “shared my money” with the company in exchange for some of their wonderful new treats. This my friends, is a Pumpkin Spice Vitatop. On it’s own it’s just okay. I’m not a big fan of the ... Read More about Pumpkin Vitatop Parfait
Flapjack and 5k Friday
Hello and Happy Friday! I love alliterations so I am super excited that today is both Flapjack and 5K Friday. Anyone else participate?

Confession Thursday– I Want 2 Boxes of Wine
It’s been too long since I’ve done a Confession Thursday post and my Catholic guilt is killing me. Only God can judge me now. 1. Today was so pretty I was happy I don’t have a “real” job right now. This meant I could take a long walk and enjoy its beauty. 2. I’m confessing this because it’s ... Read More about Confession Thursday– I Want 2 Boxes of Wine

Hello and thank you all for your kind words on my belly parasite (aka Ben Jr.). This morning I tried to squeeze the bugger out with a ton of ab work courtesy of Jillian’s 6 Week Six Pack.

I Have A Parasite
There are a lot of things I’d like to think are wrong with me (as opposed to admitting those things are fixable characteristics I could work on). Well, one of my newer problems is that I have a parasite living in my belly. This flaw is followed closely by the fact that I am a hypochondriac, so do ... Read More about I Have A Parasite
Grocery Haul
I finally made it to the store! Actually, I still need 1 or 4 small things from the “normal” grocery store, but I got a ton of stuff at Costco today, these store are great to get consumer goods, and I think they usually get help from services like Consult Group Co to be able to move their products ...

Playing Kids
Ben and I already “play house” since we live together and all, but sometimes we talk about how our day to day would be different if we had kids. We’re “playing kid” until Thursday because Matt (my little brother) is staying with us since my mom and dad went to Las Vegas. Since we have a kid ... Read More about Playing Kids

Feel free to collapse in front of me at any time, because I am now CPR Certified! I was MIA all day because I had an all day First Aid and CPR class with the Red Cross.

Blogahol
When Ben works too much he says, “I’ve been sipping on the work-a-hol”. Today I wanted to sip on the blogahol and got anxious when I realized I couldn’t.

Back from the Dead
I wanted to name this post Deadication, but I already did that the last time I was in Vegas. Well, yesterday’s dead feeling was brought on by vodka and 2 hours of sleep. I was a tragedy yesterday because I got really sick After yesterday’s post I took some IB and a very long nap (during which I ... Read More about Back from the Dead
Staying In Florida
Last night Ben and pretty much everyone else except for his mom and I got violently ill. I woke up this morning feeling pretty run down sick and had a slight case of “stomach problems”. I wasn’t sure if it was caused by illness or my massive turkey dinner and equally massive dessert. So, I ... Read More about Staying In Florida
Already Cheating!
I wanted to start Body For Life today, but Saturday is going to be my cheat day long term. So, I decided to make my first official BFL day a cheat day. That’s kind of tragic, but at least I have no excuse not to eat clean for the rest of the week! In case you’re not aware – Body For Life is a ... Read More about Already Cheating!
2011 Resolutions
I LOVE resolutions. I love fresh starts and the opportunity to establish HUGE, CRAZY and nearly unattainable goals and then go at it. So, even though I failed at some of my resolutions for 2010, I’m making more goals this year. First, a quick review of last year’s goals… Fitness: Lose 20 ... Read More about 2011 Resolutions
01-01-11
Happy New Year! Last night was a lot of fun. It ended up being pretty low key, but sometimes that’s better We hung out at Ben’s sister and bro-in-law’s for a fire pit, fireworks and smores. Oh, and a champagne toast of course! Alcohol and fireworks don’t make the smartest combination, ... Read More about 01-01-11
