My excitement for this weekend is totally building! I am taking tomorrow off, so this is my “Friday” and this morning I got this text message from my friend – “Drink extra water today so you’re ready for the booze”. Noted: I don’t know what she has planned, but it sounds like it will involve a lot of vodka. I…

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. This is the easiest gourmet…

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 looking…

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 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. Sammie! I have…

Hot Pizza
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. But, I was thinking I may need one for times when I shouldn’t be wearing this ring, like traveling and stuff. Hmmm….

Bridal Shower for R.E.R
Sorry I didn’t get you a recap on Saturday. The bridal shower was at my mom’s and some of my fam didn’t leave until late. Earlier Saturday I went for a long run, it ended up being 13 miles. I wasn’t sure how much I wanted to do, but I’m going to be missing some long runs in June due…
