I should have known!

I’ve been sleepy.  For weeks.  For months.  Besides the normal daily grind of work, life, kids, we’ve had some major life changes so I just attributed my tiredness to the stress of all of that.  I even started exercising regularly about a month ago and saw no change in my energy level.  Well, it turns [...]

We are on lockdown

Our house has been attacked by the “-itis.”

First Five

Okay, so I lost my first five pounds. I would like to dedicate these first five pounds to my husband, who just last week came home from a quick trip to the grocery store with:
2 bags of M ‘n’ M’s
2 tubs of ice cream
a box of Nutter Butter bars
When I sarcastically thanked him for [...]

Come walk with me

I walked again today. As I was getting ready to go, T said he wanted to go too! I was pretty sure he wouldn’t last 2 1/2 miles so he gladly went for a ride in the stroller which he still fits in…

Um, sort of.

The cows were very curious about us.

I miss the [...]

Around the Block

I decided to squeeze in a walk this morning and walked around my block. It was nice to get out in the cool, crisp morning air. I live out in the country so my “block” walk ended up being 2 1/2 miles. I was pretty tired near the end and my [...]

Neti Pot, Free Stuff at Rite Aid

I’ve been wanting to try a Neti Pot that a friend enlightened me about for a while now. My allergies have been bothering me and I try not to take medication if I can help it. The neti pot “… cleans allergens, irritants, bacteria and viruses from the nose…” This week, [...]

Food, Clutter

We’re always talking about picking recipes and making a meal plan for the week.  I finally did it this week!  I ended up spending a little more on meat and poultry for the various recipes, but my overall grocery bill was less than it usually is.  My usual grocery trip doesn’t include any kind of [...]

I ooze sexy with my headgear

I got my CPAP machine (to help with my sleep apnea) a few weeks ago and I think it’s helping.  It’s taking some getting some used to but it’s getting easier every day.  I had to share this picture of what my getup looks like so you can imagine just how hot I must look in [...]

A confession

My boss made an interesting comment about Catholic guilt. I was raised Catholic and I do feel like I waste a lot of time feeling guilty about things that probably aren’t that big of a deal. Most recently, I’ve been feeling guilty that I haven’t blogged about any health progress I’ve been making [...]

I’m back!

Had a great visit with family.  Even though we had a really wonderful time, it was nice to come back home.  As you moms know, vacation isn’t truly a vacation when you have a kid.   I’ll write more about the trip later.
Right now, I need to focus on the emergency at hand.  Must exercise.  Must [...]
