I was looking forward to this weekend as it was a 'child free' weekend. Sleeping in, reading lots of books, cleaning house and dinner out.
Friday night wasn't a great start to the weekend as I was feeling crappy and came home to bed and had a 2.5 hr nap. Guess I needed it, I have been on the 'ver…
I woke up from a long nap after work. My house is a mess. My quasi dinner is in the oven (no, it's not on my approved meal plan list) and I'm cleaning up files on my computer. I like clean. I like organized. It makes me happy.
I multi task like you wouldn't believe and I just noticed som…
Manhattan Seafood Chowder
Since being on this new meal plan, I haven't been eating a lot of meat but I have been eating a ton of eggs and seafood. So lately I've been cruising the seafood aisle at Safeway and picked up some under the sea yummies for cooking. I baked a salmon the other night and …
Part of my new diet (ahem meal plan) is to avoid sugar and flour. So I found this recipe through Jade's forum and on another site called Bakers Balance on Wordpress. The ingredients seemed simple enough so off to Whole Foods I went. I got everything but the Agave as I couldn't find it. It took m…
So this should be the final post of the Makeover since there isn't much left.
The results - When we had our first appointment with Precision Athletics we were weighed and measured and today was my return visit to see how much poundage I had lost. I am ashamed to say I delayed breakfast cause I didn…
No rest for the wicked. Mommy needs some new clothes!!
Cindy, Alice and I had planned our 2nd Annual Stateside shopping trip and I needed to go more than ever since my body shrunk and I am in desperate need of some new duds. We got up bright and early and met at my place as I was driving. By 6:4…
I woke up before my alarm at 7:45am, I guess I was very excited for my big day. I was nervous about being late for the salon that I was a bit on edge! I got showered, dressed in jeans and a hoodie (no shirt) cause Joyce wanted us to wear something with a zipper or buttons so we wouldn't mess up ou…
One last appointment before the big day!
This was a good one. Another sponsor - Som Visao Spa was providing us with a facial and a mani. Thank you! I booked this the day before our reveal as I figured that was a good time to have great nails and skin. I had been to this spa before about 2 years…
Another long day!
We were to meet the gang at Air Hair Salon in Richmond. I left work by 5:15 which I figured would give me plenty of time. But with busy traffic downtown it made it a bit more difficult. My stupid GPS unit wouldn't recognize I was downtown (thought I was at home) so I was blindly…
This was the day all the Mommies were looking forward to. Now that the 21 day food & fitness challenge was behind us! We were to meet Joyce at Pacific Center for 6pm at Town Shoes.
I got there a bit early so I could have dinner. At the food fair. I know, probably not the best options (yes, I'm…
It's been a while since I 'cooked' and today nearing supper time I was starving and didn't have many ingredients for supper so I decided to head out and get some staples for a home-made soup. This is similar to a soup that I've made before except it has shrimp. For the past week I've avoided meat …
It was 3 weeks ago today that I started my 21 day challenge.
The premise - 3 weeks of exercise (3x a week - group fitness classes) and a hardcore diet of veggies, fruit, meat/seafood, Quinoa, energy bars & water.
The poundage - I started off at 155lbs which was appropriately 10lbs lower than 2008…
I think it approximately two weeks to 'crack' after I brought Mason home from the hospital. Giving birth creates these crazy hormones with adrenaline that you feel like taking on the world. I was out shopping the day after I gave birth. I was showing off, I didn't think it was 'that' big of a dea…
