The past two days in San Antonio, Texas have been wonderful. Thursday morning my sister and I headed up to the outlet malls to do a little shopping. We picked up some goodies at Bath and Body Works, Loft, Nike, and GAP. On our way home we did something I’ve been wanting to do for…
Bright and early Monday morning Neal and I headed to the airport for our flight to Texas. I was in great need of a holiday in Texas, so I was incredibly thankful when Neal and I finalized our plans to be with my family this year. Last Christmas was quite a disaster, so I couldn’t…
I can not tell you how good it feels to be on Christmas vacation! Friday couldn’t have arrived soon enough! Now Neal and I have two days to enjoy here at home before heading to see my family for Christmas. Yesterday after work I ran a few errands and was finally able to pick up…
After a traumatic Sunday, I went to bed Sunday night with every intention of waking up to workout before work, but sleep won. For breakfast I made myself a breakfast sandwich with 2 slices of Ezekiel bread, 1 egg, 1 Morning Star sausage patty, and a slice of cheese. A hearty and filling 9PP breakfast….
I can not thank you all enough for the overwhelming response to yesterday’s post. It’s just about the greatest feeling when you open up your heart and share your struggles, only to be met with understanding and relatability. Your support and my list of what’s keeping me at my current weight truly helped me to…
Yesterday was a much, much better diet day! YAY! I started the day off with a cup of coffee and a bowl of grapes. In the morning, I helped my mother-in-law price jewelry for her boutique, which was a blast. I loved looking at all of the costume jewelry and learning more about her business. …
I wish I could start off my saying, “I have done so amazing with my diet and my pre-christmas goals while here in Iowa this week” but man has this trip been tough. I think what has made it so tough is not knowing what and when we’re going to eat and then not having…
This was my first year since I was 12 years old that I didn’t go Black Friday shopping at 4AM. It was a little weird and definitely reaffirmed my love for the crazy morning of shopping, drinking coffee, eating breakfast with my friends/family, and then napping my early afternoon away. Yesterday morning, Neal and I…
Yesterday morning, Neal and I woke up bright and early for our flight to Iowa. After much thought, we decided to bring Theodore with us, as it’s probably our only chance to travel with him since he’s still so small. When we arrived at Regan airport, I grabbed some breakfast for Neal and I at…
After posting my 2012 holiday gift guide I realized that there are so many other fitness related gifts out there that I either wanted to recommend or add to my list. This holiday season, be sure to add a few fitness items to your Christmas wish list or find a few to give to your…

I know Santa makes a list and he checks it twice, but I also think he counts down the days to the plethora of cookies that await him on his Christmas journey. This year I’ve made it my mission to help Santa by remaking some of my favorite cookie recipes and loved the benefits using…
Christmas eve is exactly 6 weeks from today! In that time we will all be tempted by some of our favorite foods, sweet treats, and decadent eats. For many, it is the most challenging time of year. Last week my beautiful sister Alison, who has lost almost 30 pounds on her own I might add,…
Whether we’re ready or not, it’s holiday season!! Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and then we’ll be in full winter holiday mode. This week I have been working on three different lists, a gift giving list, a Christmas wish list for Coffee Cake and Cardio, and a holiday treat/Christmas cookie list. I…
It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just 18 days away! Thanksgiving can be difficult for anyone watching (or not watching) their weight. According to the Calorie Control Council, the average number of calories in Thanksgiving dinner can reach 4,500—along with a heaping helping of 229 grams of fat (source). What you have to remember…
