Even after a snowy day yesterday, I was totally surprised to see ice on my car this morning! By 8AM this morning, Neal and I were out the door and on our way to visit the church we are going to get married in! I love this church and am so excited about having our…
I have got to admit, last week was a really stressful and busy week! Although I had a great time going out to dinner with Becky, Katy, joining Weight Watchers, and then food tasting with Neal, it was one non-stop, hectic week. Today is my 4th day on Weight Watchers and I’m honestly loving it….
As you may have noticed, Coffee Cake and Cardio is going through a little cosmetic surgery at the moment! Transitioning to self hosting is a lot of work, but I know that in the end it’ll be great. This is my temporary design and I can’t wait to unveil the new Coffee Cake and Cardio…
I have a love/hate relationship with numbers! Before I go on my rant, I have a few positive things to share. First off, we have TWO Clif Bar giveaway winners! Congratulations to Paula and Jocelyn! Please let us know what you think of the season Clif Bar flavors! My second positive thing to share is…
“Why is weight loss so tough?”, I thought to myself this past weekend. Since August I have gained 12.4 pounds, which is CRAZY to me. I struggled with binge eating back in August, but since then I’ve really done a good job of controlling my portions and sticking to my weekly plan. In addition, Neal…
Last night I met up with one of my bridesmaids, Becky, for dinner at Mama Ayesha’s. The restaurant is about a 10 minute walk from the Woodley Park metro station, just over Rock Creek Park on Calvert Street. As you cross the bridge you will see this crazy/awesome mural on the side of the restaurant. …
Tonight Neal, Liz, Matt and I went to the Melting Pot to celebrate Liz’s and my birthday, Neal’s and my engagement, and Matt’s return to DC. It was so nice to have a dinner date with the gang, as Matt has been out of town on business for the past 5 weeks. We started dinner…
It has been 2 weeks since Neal and I got engaged and man have I learned a lot! It’s almost like people develop a split personality when someone in their life is getting married– a “wedding personality” if you will. Symptoms of “Wedding Personality” (note: this is meant to be funny but true) Negative Side…
Today was much better than yesterday, though I totally have to tell y’all, Neal stop by last night to give me flowers! It was so incredibly sweet of him! He knew I was having a bad day and wanted to cheer me up. This morning Neal and I met up for our 4 mile run. …
Wednesday wasn’t looking too hot as of 8AM this morning. Last night I fell asleep on the couch while watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia season 6 and woke up a little before 3AM with too much on the brain. I didn’t fall back asleep until 4:30AM, which made getting up at 6AM a total…
It’s Tuesday, which means it’s Biggest Loser night! I haven’t forgotten about my Biggest Loser weigh-ins (week 1 and week 2 recap), but I still need to buy a new scale. My scale at home is jacked. No excuses but I’ll totally update y’all on my weight soon! Today I continued my Get-in-Shape challenge and…
The trees are starting to change colors here in Washington, DC. I just love walking to work and passing all of the shades of yellow, red, and orange. Especially when I have a Starbucks in my hand! Lets just say I was one happy girl this morning, especially with a 30 minute run under my…
I had an amazing birthday!! This week started out with a bang as Neal proposed on Monday night! I didn’t think it could get any better… but it really was an amazing week. Although Neal and I both got really sick this week, living on cloud nine kept my mind off of my runny nose,…
I love setting goals and creating to-do lists, so I thought creating a list of things I want to do or plan to do before turning 28 next year would be a good idea! As I shared the other day, this is the first year that my age has really hit me. Maybe it’s because…
The air is crisp and the sun is out… I don’t think I could ask for more! Lately the weather has been a tad spring like, which is nice in the spring but I really want fall to be here and to stick around for awhile. Today in DC there is a strong breeze and…
