Eternal Winter

A-ha moments February 21, 2011
Yesterday we got dumped on... dumped with snow that is. I just saw a weather report and it looks like we got around 15 inches here in my little suburb on Minneapolis. And to think... last week it was nearly 50 degrees! This year it seems like spring will never come some days...and winter is eternal.  And I have to say sometimes life...Read More

GIVEAWAY: What’s in Your Bag?

Giveaway February 18, 2011
Sometimes life gets crazy. We all have those days where we are so busy we can’t keep things together or find what we need when we want it. It’s on those days that a great laptop messenger bag or any sort of bag that keeps things organized when you want them will be a lifesaver. I think it could also be helpful on...Read More

Perspective

Minnesota February 16, 2011
Last month I spent a few days in Portland at my niece’s wedding. Now one thing I found out about Portland is that in January there’s grass… real grass on the ground, and you can see it!

Exercise February 08, 2011
This morning at my house it was 10 below zero, and the wind chill was in the 20s below zero. Some of the outlying schools were delayed due to the freezing temperatures. My mind read that as “the gym is cancelled” and I rolled over and went back to sleep at 5 this morning. I HATE EXCUSES! I really do hate excuses… it...Read More

Honey Curry Chicken

Chicken Recipes February 07, 2011
It seems like the whole country is cold and snowy these days.  Here in Minnesota, of course, we are used to it but it doesn't mean that we don't crave spring this time of year.  I have been craving comfort food lately, and this is what was on the menu recently, that helped that craving. Honey Curry Chicken3 points plus for 1-1/2 Tbsp...Read More

Random Weekend Thoughts

random thoughts February 05, 2011
Its Saturday night... and I'm exhausted!  Too many early mornings - 4 am, where I'm woken up by a 3 year old that begs me to "cover him up" because he's kicked off his covers.  Then... I can't go back to sleep. At my weigh in on Thursday I was up 1 pound... oh well.  Mandatory weigh in for the month = done,...Read More

Past Failure Does Not Predict Future Results

Motivation February 02, 2011
Past Failure does not predict future results. Read that again: Past Failure does NOT predict future results. It’s a pretty simple, yet profound statement isn’t it?  Now tell me… do you believe it? I really thought I did. Like many of you that are probably reading this, I tried to lose weight many times before this time where I actually succeeded.  The first...Read More
