I lost 2.4 pounds this week!! I really believe that I did a good job of tracking my points, though I did eat out a lot this week. I haven’t quite figured out how I want to go about tracking my points when I eat out, but so far I’ve just decided to make the…

Wedding Day
Friday, April 29th, 2011 at
6:28 am
As I sit here, watching the royal wedding, I can not wait to be married. The thought of walking down the aisle towards the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, just makes me so incredibly happy. Katherine looks breathtaking today (in the type of wedding dress I adore btw) and…
AM vs. PM … What’s best?

9:54 pm
I love having a gym membership! Last year, I challenged myself to workout at home in order to save a little dough but by winter, I was itching to be back in the gym. I first joined the gym at work, but as I work at a university, working out along side my students didn’t…
My Wonderful BF!

I really have the most amazing BF! He is so supportive of me, even when I’m PMSing! Last night I went over to his place so that we could catch up on our DVR. We settled in and made dinner together, chicken sausages and asparagus. As we cooked dinner my BF continued to say, “I’ll…
Portion Sizes

6:22 pm
This weekend, while shopping at the outlets, I came across these super cute bowls… but they were half the size of my regular cereal bowls. It got me thinking, “how would my eating change if I just used smaller bowls?”. Sometimes its just habit to fill a cereal bowl to the rim and to eat…
Where’s my hoodie?

Though we’ve had a few 80 + degree days here in DC this spring, I seem to either be at work or out of town when it’s over 80 degrees. Today the temperature hit 83 degrees and I was quickly drained emotionally. Although I love the warmer weather, I am quickly forced to face my…
Week 1

I lost 3.6lbs this week! Yay! I’m really happy with my first week, even beyond the weight loss. This week I tracked every day, had family in town, ate out twice, and only made it to the gym twice. This week helped me to get back into the swing of things, to really watch my…
Allergies Are a Bummer
Friday, April 22nd, 2011 at
9:44 am
My allergies are insane this season. They started getting bad last week, itchy eyes, runny nose, irritated skin, but this week has been pretty intense. I’ve had to wear my glasses all week, though Wednesday I attempted to wear my contacts and that turned out to be a really bad idea! Yesterday my asthma kicked…
I Heart Breakfast!

I love breakfast! I have never struggled with eating breakfast and am happy to eat breakfast foods any time of the day. I go through phases, craving cereal, oatmeal, and egg dishes at different times of the month. This morning I made an egg white scramble with peas, carrots, mushrooms, and turkey bacon. For only…

To Run or Not to Run…
Monday, April 18th, 2011 at
11:24 pm
That is definitely the question!! In all honesty, I’m really proud of how far I’ve come in life. I remember being in the 6th grade and dreading the mile run. I would cry to my parents, make myself sick, and even send myself into a panic all because I had to run a timed mile. …

Well, I have a love/hate relationship with Tuesday. Tuesday has always had a good ring to it, for whatever reason. Tuesday always brings with it the realism that I made it through yet another Monday. Tuesday is also home to The Biggest Loser! I usually find myself counting down the hours to 8PM when it’s…
Running with my FT7
Monday, April 11th, 2011 at
1:11 pm
Yesterday was the first time I had ever worked out with a heart rate monitor. I purchased my FT7 from FIT3 in Vienna, VA on Saturday and utilized one of their awesome groupons! The set up was really simple and I wanted to use it right away. The FT7 tracks my heart rate and calories…
