Post Thanksgiving Weekly Plan
I’m feeling HUGE post Thanksgiving. I had a lot of fun this week, but man did I eat way too many calories. Thursday — Ate too much cheese (cheese platter, pizza dip, cheesecake, and then more cheese) Friday — Ate leftovers for lunch and then a heavy dinner Saturday — NYC yumminess (pizza for lunch,…
Turkey Days Recap!
These past two days have been fantastic! It all started Wednesday night after work. After running a few errands, I set up shop in the kitchen and started to cook! As Thursday looked to be a busy day, cooking Wednesday night was really important. The ham and stuffing would have to wait for Thanksgiving day,…
Turkey Trot 2011
Yesterday, Neal and I tackled the Alexandria Turkey Trot like two super heroes! I started out the day with a NuGo Vanilla Yogurt bar and a big cup of coffee. NuGo is a “new to me” brand of energy bars and I am OBSESSED with them! So far, the vanilla yogurt bar is my favorite….
The Turkey Breast Quest
Last night Neal and I did all of our Thanksgiving dinner grocery shopping! $130 later, I’ve decided that eating Thanksgiving dinner out at a restaurant is much cheaper and you don’t have to clean up afterwards! We got everything we needed….BUT I can not find a turkey breast! The two stores I went to last…
Thankful For Friends
This past weekend I was able to spend some time with two of my dearest friends, Randy and Dara. The memories I have with those two make me smile all the time. We have had many laughs and have shared many margaritas with one another. I met Randy and Dara back in 2006 when we…
Artist For a Day
Saturday night, Liz and I went to a painting class at Art by the Glazz. What’s better than painting, wine, and laughter with one of your best friends? With our aprons on, a blank canvas before us, and a plethora of paint, Liz and I both started to work on our masterpieces. We were given…
Cranberry Crawl 10K
This morning Neal and I ran our first race together, the Cranberry Crawl 10K! We started training for a 15K back in September and ran our longest run to date, 10 miles, last weekend. This race came at a perfect point in our training and was a great way for Neal and I to get…
Point Two
Last night I made by way to Weight Watchers after work, feeling good about the week I had just finished. I worked really hard last Wednesday-Friday, counting my points daily. I also followed my workout plan, running Wednesday morning, going to kickboxing Thursday night, and running again Friday morning. Although Neal and I went to…
Lots on the Plate
This past weekend, Neal and I drove up to Cleveland, OH to visit Neal’s sister Jill and her family. It was so good to see Jill, Rob and their baby, Annabelle. Annabelle is just 3 weeks old and we just couldn’t seem to take our eyes off of her. Isn’t funny how you can just…

Little Change, Big Impact Hide your remote control. This will get you up and off the couch every time you want to change the…
Burning Calories: Part 1
First off, do you remember this kid? He was Renee Zellweger’s son in the movie Jerry Maguire. Well look at him now!! WOWZERS! It’s honestly a little weird to see him now. I want to remember him as that cute little kid who asked a gazillion questions. So I’ve been thinking a lot lately about…
Point Six
As I stood on the scale last night, I feared that I had gained at least 3 pounds from my weekend in Texas. Just before the leader told me my weight, she looked at me and said “It’s just a number Ashley”. In the end, I gained .6 pounds (point six) last week but I’m…
