Seriously, if you would have asked me a year ago what I was going to do on Thanksgiving Day 2009, my plans would not have included getting up at 6:30am to run a 5k even though it was only 49 degrees outside after being diagnosed with a sinus infection less than 24 hours before.
But I’m […]

Right now, I’m sitting on our patio, overlooking the pool and the ocean. My son has finally passed out for naptime after fighting it for nearly an hour. It’s about 80 and there are about five books staring at me from the deck chair to my right.
So, I’m not going to write a whole lot […]

When Weight Watchers approached the Sisterhood to take part in their Lose for Good campaign, we were thrilled! Losing weight AND giving back? So awesome.

Sound the alarms, it’s weigh-in day!
Last week, Heather described my trek to the scale so perfectly in her weigh-in post that I laughed out loud as I took every step in the perfect way in which she described. Something about heading to the scale, looking at the numbers with our “scrunched up eyes”, naked and after having already […]

One year ago I weighed 157 pounds. My daughter had just turned 1, and I realized I needed to restart my weight loss journey before I had a reply of what happened after my son was born. You see, when I got pregnant with my son (who is 6 now) I was already overweight. After […]

Today is our One-Year Anniversary! We have been through so much this year. Faces have come and gone, but there are some very special women who have been with us since the very beginning! A few weeks ago, I asked them all to share their stories with us. I have to admit, I teared up […]

**I was beyond excited when Kirsten approached me with this idea! As you may know, I participated in Team In Training for my first (and only!) 1/2 marathon a few years ago. I walked most of it, but it was the most awesome and rewarding experiences in my life.** From Kirsten:

Hi everyone!  I have some exciting […]

I’m normally a green bean casserole girl, but I came across this recipe and I think I might have to give it a try this year! Heck, it’s really a recipe you could use all year long.
Gather:

2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-1 1/2 inch pieces 1/4 cup of olive oil

3 tablespoons […]

Another side-dish I cannot live without on Thanksgiving is sweet potatoes. I love them. So much. Unfortunately, my husband and son don’t like them, and I’m still working on my daughter.
My recipe, again one that it’s in my head and not written down, contains lots of butter, brown sugar, and nuts; and is topped with […]
