As I was driving to the gym yesterday, I had a very cheesy thought. I actually felt overwhelmed with gratitude that I am able to exercise and that I have a wonderful gym to go to with wonderful instructors that I love! Sounds cheesy, I know. It really makes me happy though. I’m just so grateful I’m able to go to awesome classes and surround myself with people who are all working hard and trying to improve in some way. It’s energizing to me. My instructors all push me so hard too! I love it. I know I could never Continue Reading…
I’m a Heavy Drinker
First, off thank you SO MUCH to all of you who voted for ME on TopMommyBlogs.com! I really appreciate all of your support!! It really means a lot to me. Really. ****************************** Well, yes it may come as a shock, but I am a heavy drinker. Heavy WATER drinker, that is. 😉 I love water….I really, really do. It is definitely my drink of choice. I gotta say, I haven’t always been a water drinker though. I used to just drink it occasionally because I knew it was good for me, but I didn’t really love it. Somehow over the Continue Reading…

Healthy Livin’
Well I’m happy to report that after much kicking and screaming, I finally got my 5 mile treadmill dreadmill run in the other night. I really was not looking forward to hopping on that thing, but I got’er done! Yay! I don’t know why I dread the treadmill so much. I just really really love running outside, I guess. It seems like when I’m on the treadmill, I can’t stop looking at the display. I keep thinking, “How much longer?”, “How much further?” and “When will I be off this dang thing??!” On the flip side, when I’m outside my mind Continue Reading…
Identifying Areas of Improvement
Well, for the most part I’ve had a very good week. Yay. I ate really well all week except for one meal I had last night. Kev and I went on an impromptu date to TGI Friday’s. Very fun. We ended up ordering a couple appetizers to share. It was yummy, but sadly I wasn’t even all that hungry!? I left there stuffed and bugged that I ate crappy food. Oh well. Live and learn, I guess. I did really well on the exercise front this week. I went to my regular 4 classes at the gym and ran twice. Continue Reading…
Healthier Macaroni and Cheese
K, I told y’all I made homemade Mac and Cheese the other night. Yummy, yum, yum. I really love it. It’s fairly quick and easy to make and most of my kids love it too. It’s actually my mom’s recipe. She made it for us when we were kids and it was one of my favs! I just substituted healthier ingredients for everything. It still has cheese (of course!) and a little butter, but I guarantee it is 10 bazillion times better for you than anything you can buy in a box! Blah. So here ya go….. Healthier Macaroni and Continue Reading…
