Recharging My Batteries

May 17, 2009

I just got the images off of my digi cam, then put the battery on the charger but that isn’t the only battery charging that went on this weekend; after we ate lunch yesterday afternoon (pizza!), we went to sleep and didn’t wake up until around 6:00AM!! I’ve been taking leisurely weekends the past few [...]

Power Failure

May 14, 2009

Our power went out around 6:30 this morning. We’re not sure what happened, but we heard sirens and then it came back on about an hour later. Thankfully it wasn’t out all day, phew! I was too tired to do an update last night, so I planned to do one first thing in the ‘morning’, [...]

Freshly Cut Grass

May 12, 2009

Aaaaaaaah, I love the smell of a freshly cut grass. Our landscaper came for the first time this season and I’ve been enjoying the aroma of spring in the air. Living on a mountain in upstate NY, spring arrives a little later than most places, which is fine with me because I am NOT looking [...]

She Can Have Whatever She Likes

May 11, 2009

I hope all the mommies, mommies-to-be, and mommies of fur-babies had a wonderful Mother’s Day!! My mom likes to keep things simple. So, her only request was spaghetti with meat sauce. Cool with me, momma! But first, we started with a decadent breakfast of French toast, orange juice and a few fresh strawberries. I made [...]

I Must Be Doing Something Right

May 10, 2009

The past 2 days I have woken up incredibly sore from my workouts, which is probably a good thing! I’ve been working on my strength training form, trying to improve on it. So far, so good. I’ve found a lot of useful tutorials on YouTube, so I’ve been trying out a few new things. Sunday [...]

Getting Hungry Doing an Update

May 9, 2009

I started doing this update hours ago, but while I was prepping the pics, they were making me hungry! So, after a short 5 hour break for dinner and a movie, I’m back to finish. hehe My morning snack/pre-WO meal yesterday was 2 Applegate Farms turkey hot dogs (90 cals, 45 cal each) on 2 [...]

Eggcellence

May 8, 2009

I’ve been doing a small meal/snack as soon as I wake up/before I workout for a few weeks now and I can honestly say, it helps a LOT and makes me feel really good for the rest of the day. Cheat days, Aunt Flo and water weight aside, I definitely think this is working out [...]

Cinco de Mayo: Our 3 Year Anniversary

May 6, 2009

Dustin and I have been married for 3 years now! We celebrated very casually being it was a rainy Tuesday and we are on an awkward schedule that doesn’t allow for great adventures while we’re awake. The restaurant we wanted to go to was open late, but it’s closed on Mondays AND Tuesdays! Living in [...]

Cheat Day Challenge

May 4, 2009

Like I said in my previous update, I was participating in this Livestrong thread “May 2nd Cheat Day Challenge.” Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, my May 2nd breakfast of champions… A “small” cup of twist soft serve with hot fudge and wet walnuts from our local ice cream parlor: I requested they put [...]

It’s Easier to Keep Up Than to Catch Up

May 2, 2009

I feel like there’s so many things in our life that we’re constantly playing catch-up with. I have so many things on my agenda and it seems like I hardly scratch the surface with any of it even though I never have a second to let boredom set in. Every time we pick up momentum, [...]
