Ice

I made it to my parent’s yesterday afternoon.  A bit earlier than anticipated because I was trying to beat the weather.  The 2-hour drive wasn’t great, but it wasn’t horrible either and I made it safe and sound.  The ice came later and this morning we were treated to beautiful ice covered nature. . .

The Breakup (with sugar)

Good Sunday Morning! I love Sunday mornings!  I watched CBS Sunday Morning this morning while eating my raisin and walnut overnight oats.  So good! Yesterday I finally managed to get in a cardio workout!  I did Petra Kolber’s Step Moves & New Grooves.  So much fun. It was much harder than it used to be, [...]

I’m baaaack!

Hey!  Hey! It has been an insane week!  Tuesday I worked until after 9 and Wednesday until after 10 and was heading back into the office before 6:30!  Needless to say by Thursday afternoon I was exhausted.  My mornings have consisted of overnight oats and lots and lots of coffee! Even though I have been [...]

These are the dvds I told myself I would do this week. So far I have failed.  You might say I should give myself a break, afterall, it is only Monday morning.  It IS Monday morning and I did not do anything thing this morning.  Well, that’s not true, I made a LOT of excuses [...]

EDBV Disappoints!

Good morning! I have been super duper busy the last five days!  Well…not Sat & Sun – I was super duper lazy and not feeling like myself on Sat afternoon and Sunday.  But, Mon-Wed have been crazy!  I think the earliest I have gotten home is 9:30 with last night getting home closer to midnight!  [...]

Update!

I update the ‘about me‘ page.  The original ‘about me’ just didn’t seem to capture what I wanted it to.  I think it is perfectly fine for you all to know what I do (attorney), what my struggles are (work+life balance+weight loss) and that I believe I can work through my struggles with a good [...]

Quicky

Hey!  Hey!  Hey! A quicky post coming…. NOW! No post yesterday because I didn’t get home form work until after 10:30 – that is what happens when you have to prepare for a deposition.  It always seems to happen no matter how prepared I think I am the day before I end up working late [...]
