Weekend Recap

Weekend Recap

That about sums up my weekend! Saturday was full of Youth Football and then the US National Men’s Soccer team. We had my brother’s family over and I made homemade baked empanadas. Delish! Sunday morning I baked and then went for a run before we attended a Chili Cook-off Super Bowl Party. The difference between … Continue reading

Snowjam 2014

Snowjam 2014

Good God, y’all. I live in Atlanta. WTF just happened to us? I was one of the fortunate and lucky. I typically have a 35 minute commute. I left my office at 12:30pm. I got home at about 3pm. That was a struggle. The roads were already icing and cars were already abandoned. I contemplated … Continue reading

Accomplishments

Accomplishments

I’m trying to remain optimistic as the bad luck continues to pour over us; however, this post is not about that. This post is about the little non-scale victories. The other day at work was a nightmare. Just a straight up nightmare. I was ecstatic to get to my car and GTFO. Well, y’all – … Continue reading

Stress Management

Stress Management

Y’all, since last Thursday it’s been hell for us. Let me explain… I came home from work on Thursday and thought the house smelled like crap. I attributed it to the cats using the litter box. Friday – same thing. Saturday morning I went to Target and bought all of the Febreze and bleach ever. … Continue reading

Waste vs. Waist

Kevin got me the Fitbit Force Wireless Activity + Sleep Wristband for Christmas and I’m in love. Serious love. A down right scandalous love affair. But Danielle, how are you following your own gut and doing Intuitive Eating with Big Brother on your wrist, tracking your every move? Well, I’m not tracking my food with … Continue reading

The Cycle of Life and My Resolution.

The Cycle of Life and My Resolution.

It feels like 2013 has barely begun, yet, here I am 2 short days away from 2014 slapping me in the face. 2013 has brought so many ups and downs. So many curve balls. So many tragedies and so many blessings. I sit here wondering what my “Resolutions” will be this year and this is … Continue reading

Hollywood Recap

Hollywood Recap

Well, I spent my five glorious days in Hollywood. The weather was INCREDIBLE. Here’s my recap! I had a 5:30pm flight out of Atlanta and landed at LAX at 7:30. The view was absolutely stunning when we were landing. My flight was long and boring. I hadn’t seen Kevin is almost 2 weeks and I … Continue reading

We’re all winners at heart…

I haven’t seen most of them since … Continue reading

I’m trying

I’m trying

I’m trying. God knows I’m trying. I’m trying to find the balance between sanity and insanity; something I most often struggle with. Either I weigh in compulsively or not at all. I haven’t stepped foot onto the scale since my Post Op appointment. Kevin says he is glad I’m not torturing myself, but I can’t … Continue reading

Weekend ReCap

Weekend ReCap

Kevin, Alicia and I ran the Tap N’ Run 4k this week. “Ran” is generous – more like me did a little speed walking. Regardless, it’s beyond fun. The whole idea of the race is to drink and run. Ah-mazing! Here are a few pics! How was everyone else’s weekend? Don’t forget – there’s still … Continue reading
