Last night, I kicked the week off with a 40 minute solo spin workout at my gym. I arrived at the gym, made my way over to the empty spin studio, set up my bike, and turned on my Pop and Hip Hop Power Workout Pandora station. I started off with a 5 minute warm-up…
I have a new love in my life, Amanda and Matt’s Black Bean Burgers!! Yesterday afternoon Amanda and her husband Matt came over for dinner and game night. Amanda had told me about their black bean burgers before, so when she offered to bring them for dinner I couldn’t refuse! I’m a big time bean…
Is it the last full week of April already?? BONKERS! This is going to be a weird week, as I have to report for jury duty on Tuesday. This is my first time being called for jury duty so I honestly have no idea how it’s going to go. I understand that I may show…
Follow my blog with Bloglovin With 1800 calories to eat a day, I’m seeing how easy it is for me to fill those calories up with carbs. The RD I met with encouraged me to eat carbs but to have a balanced diet that mixes carbs in with veggies and proteins. Last week I felt…
This morning I met up with Becky for coffee and a 3 mile walk on the Crescent Trail in Bethesda, MD. Before our walk we swung into Dunkin Donuts for a cup of Joe. While waiting in line I listened to the people before me place their orders. Coffees made with cream and sugar. Dozens…
Over the past two weeks I’ve been striving to eat less carbohydrates and to eat lean and green. One thing I learned off the bat is that if you do not prep for the week ahead you will end up eating carbs. Eating lean and green is a lot of work, but if you put…
This week I’m going to take a different approach to my meal planning. You see, in the past I’ve planned out various dinners and then have been at some what of a loss as to what to take for lunch. I end up taking a salad or canned soup, which is very healthy, but doesn’t…
It was great to finally see a loss on the scale last week! As I move into this week, my goals are to… Track everything No grains, breads, or complex carbs after lunch (recommended by my friend Katy) Push myself in my workouts Study, study, study my football playbook (practices are getting intense) I did…
Last week was quite an odd week. It started in Iowa, with lots of eating out and lots of relaxing. Turned around mid week with a refocus on Weight Watchers and my workouts. And ended with me being sick and stuck in the house. Not the ideal kind of week. Still, I got an awesome…
I’ve been looking forward to this week for a few weeks now. Not that I have anything big going on but with the Runner’s World 10K behind me I can start to take more gym classes and increase my weight lifting (hopefully in preparation for football season… fingers crossed!). Monday 30 minute run and weight…
This past weekend was everything I had been wanting in a weekend for some time now. It was the perfect mix of fitness, friends, family, football, and fun. That’s a lot of F’s! The weekend started with my weekly ballet class in Washington, DC. I love ballet! Can I just say that again? It is…
With just a little over 4 weeks left in my second Scaleless Summer, I wanted to reflect on summer thus far and to give y’all a little peek as to what I’ve been up to. So here it is, my scaleless summer update. Oh beer, how I love thee all year round in the summer…
It’s hard to believe that there are just 8 weeks left of my Scaleless Summer. With this being my first full week post-wedding and honeymoon, I was excited and thrilled to create my weekly plan. Last week went extremely well Wednesday-Friday, but this past weekend was tough. My eats were actually pretty good this weekend,…
It’s hard to believe that it’s the middle of May already. This weekend was a blast but I’m eager to get back on track and into a routine this week (if the weeks leading up to the wedding can be routine…). Last night Neal and I went grocery shopping, our last time buying groceries separate!!…
I had a wonderful, wonderful weekend! To me there’s nothing better than spending time with friends, taking naps, watching sports, and wedding planning. Saturday started off with a 9:50AM showing of The Hunger Games. I really enjoyed The Hunger Games but I will say that the book is better. This is the first time I’ve…
