I haven't had the easiest time with the Raw Wednesday Challenge. I think eating raw was meant to stop when humans figured out how to make  fire 10,000 years ago. Sorry, it's true. Ha. But I do have an amazing "No Bake" Recipe for you in the next post! W/O: 5 miles. I felt a little tired today. ... Read More about Raw Wed. Continues

Fries for dessert
Ben showed up on my doorstep last night by surprise to take me out for dessert. But, it turns out he hadn't even eaten dinner yet (it was 9pm) so we went to a local hamburger place to get him some grub. I didn't order anything, but did eat some of his fries...then felt super full. Boo. But, it is ... Read More about Fries for dessert

Bachelorette Party
I have been MIA because I was in Las Vegas for my Bachelorette Party!!! Such a party would be more ecstatic with the aid of services like bar rentals for events. Now, I try to keep sacred the Vegas code: "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" So, I won't say too much, except I had the ... Read More about Bachelorette Party

My excitement for this weekend is totally building!

Simple, but perfect
I think my favorite dinner is salmon, a sweet potato and salad (or brussel sprouts!). Since I'm trying to figure out what I love I thought I'd test this theory- salmon it was! I grilled it on the George Foreman with teryaki sauce, threw the sweet potato in the microwave and threw together a salad. ... Read More about Simple, but perfect
Flowers and stress
My mom bought star gazers for the centerpieces at my Bridal Shower this weekend. We gave most of them away, but kept one. They took a couple of days, but now most of them are open and beautiful. The flowers make me happy and distract me from all the stress going on in my life which is why I am ... Read More about Flowers and stress
One step at a time
I think I need to slow down and take things one step at a time. I ended up getting hungry around 10pm last night and eating a lot of random things...trail mix, my brother's leftover burrito, something else I can't remember. I felt like crap physically and emotionally about it and this morning I ... Read More about One step at a time
Driving Dinner
I made the biggest mistake of opening in a bag of chips on the way home from TJ's today. I have a l-o-n-g commute, so I basically have an hour (or more!) to mindlessly snack. I ate 3/4 of it by the time I got home. I knew I should stop eating it, but I tried to pace myself. I am an idiot. This is ... Read More about Driving Dinner

Today I packed what I think is a "Normal Lunch". I had a sandwich with a slice of turkey, Food Should Taste Good chips and veggies on the side. I wasn't going to pack the chips, but I really like them and according the Intuitive Eating, I should give myself complete permission to eat what I want. ... Read More about Normal lunch

Every lunch break I have wedding errands to complete. Today I went looking for wedding bands. I actually am not sure I even want one since I just plan on wearing my engagement ring as a wedding ring.
