Before my easy four miler this morning I had a few handfuls of Shredded Oats. I love this cereal, but it’s too easy for me to grab handfuls throughout the day without realizing how they’re adding up (more on this below). When I got back I couldn’t decide on breakfast. I have a lot of stuff I need to eat…

Q: Who needs dishes when you have measuring cups? A: Me. Because the following pictures are embarrassing… I had cereal as an afternoon snack today 🙂 It was a mix of random cereals in soymilk.

Anniversary Gifts and Thai Dinner with Friends
Ben and I don’t exchange presents. Anytime there is a usual gift giving event like birthdays, anniversaries or Christmas we usually opt to go on a trip (or we’re paying money to visit family out of state).

Dustin Hoffman’s “Judge Wapner” is my “Wake up at 6,…

A Second Opinion
After posting about stopping my nighttime snacking habit earlier today, I came across Roni’s vlog just right now. She addresses this exact issue as the first question!

21 Day Challenge
I have heard for ages that it takes 21 Days to make (or break) a habit. Well, I’ve been trying to break a few bad habits for a while now with no success. I really believe that my three worst habits are what is standing in the way between me and my goal weight. I have made great progress and…

New Nut Butter
I’m over TJ’s almond butter with roasted flax seeds. Yep, that fast. Over it. Done. I read “It’s Called a Discontinued Nut Butter Because It’s Broken”. (I could go on…) There is a new nut butter in town! My new NB is sweet and funny and good looking… And NOT almond butter or peanut butter or even soynut butter. I’m…
