Pics Or It Didn’t Happen

Pics Or It Didn’t Happen

If you’re a 90s kid, you know what I’m talking about with “pics or it didn’t happen.” Well, it did happen. 4 times in fact. AND, four days ago, I wrote a post about getting my training life together and how much better I feel when I do. Since then, I’ve ran 4 times. I … Continue reading

Here it is: I am no longer an athlete…but I will be one again. It’s incredible how quickly you lose it when you don’t train all the damn time. Wow! My morning started out GREAT! I’d lost 3.2lbs and felt back on track – finally. A sense of accomplishment and confidence overwhelmed me. I didn’t … Continue reading

Dark Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins – 3PP

Dark Chocolate Banana Bread Muffins – 3PP

Alright y’all. I adapted this recipe into a Weight Watchers Friendly/Sugar Free Clean Eating Muffin Recipe and I cannot complain. The original is equally as delicious – I was just looking for a way to reduce the points! I took it from 4pts a slice of bread to 3 points a big muffin. These are BEST … Continue reading

“It made me feel weird.”

“It made me feel weird.”

My best friend read my This Is Part Of It post and told me it made her feel weird. Weird? Seriously. WTF? That was poetic and emotional and raw. Whatever. It didn’t settle well with me. Clearly. So, I pushed her and asked her why it made her feel weird.  She didn’t want to get into it, but … Continue reading

When the tough gets going…

I’m trying to be tough…and say no to booze and yes to running and hell yeah to the best balance ever! Thanksgiving came and went and it was filled with love, family, friends, amazing food and booze. With there being no grey in my gluttony. I overdosed on good times, long distance family, bourbon, my … Continue reading

Black Bean Brownies – 5PP

Black Bean Brownies – 5PP

WTF? Black Bean Brownies? I’ve heard of them. I was a skeptic. I thought to myself, “There are two places for black beans – 1. in soup with queso and 2. in a quesadilla.” But lately I’ve been craving sweets like nobodies business so I thought I’d give it a shot. I make bomb brownies. … Continue reading

Perception and Advice

I contemplated not going to Weight Watchers yesterday.I knew I’d weigh heavy from the weekend. I knew it’d disappoint me. I knew I’d be upset. And I did. And I was. I sat down next to my dad totally bummed and mad myself. “All that hard work down the drain because you can’t keep your … Continue reading

Eating Clean For Dummies

Eating Clean For Dummies

No one ever says, “Would you like some Skim Milk, Corn Syrup, Cream, and 0.5% of Carrageenan, Sodium Citrate, Dipotassium Phosphate, Mono and Diglycerides, and Vitamin A Palmitate, with a little color added to your coffee?” Why would they when you can just say, “Would you like some Fat Free Half and Half in your coffee?” … Continue reading

Y’all better stop…

Y’all better stop…

I came out. I linked my real life with my weight loss life. Honestly – I was PETRIFIED I wouldn’t be well received. My stomach was in knots when I confirmed everything for my facebook page, my tumblr, my twitter. (Wowzors – I’m a nerd.) Alicia and Kevin talked me off the ledge several times … Continue reading
