I’m back

March 2nd, 2010 · 7 Comments · Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for your support and encouragement through the loss of my beloved Lucy. It has been a rough week and a half, but I am surviving and getting through each day, which is more than I expected. I feel a little older and maybe even a little stronger than I [...]

Rainy, Cozy Sunday

January 24th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch

It has been a torrential downpour here all day. The kind of rain that makes you want to stay inside and take a long winter’s nap. Even in pouring rain, we made it up and out the door to church for the 9 am service (a miracle!). I had a fiber one bar + coffee [...]

Lazy by the fire

January 7th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Dessert, Dinner

Here’s my nutrition segment on WBIR from earlier today….   When Anthony and I finally made it home this afternoon, it looked like this outside…. I don’t think we’ve gotten a lot more snow since then, but it is so cold here…the roads are icy. It is really hilly around our neighborhood and we saw several [...]

Saturday work day

December 12th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Breakfast, Lunch

I was up a little earlier than I would have liked today. Once every two months, I work a manager-on-duty shift at the wellness center. It’s only 4 hours- not too bad. I grabbed a cup of coffee + a Kashi bar and I was on my way. I spent the morning working first at [...]

Bedtime

November 30th, 2009 · 5 Comments · Dinner, Lunch

Lunch was delicious leftover Spicy Red Curry with chicken,  peppers, basil, and eggplant…it was just as good the 2nd day. I stayed so busy this afternoon, catching up after 4 days off. Before I knew it, it was 4:30 and time for boot camp. We had a great class today…lots of lunges, jump squats, jump [...]

P90X Plyometrics

November 29th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Dinner

What a great workout! We’ve been doing P90X for almost 2 weeks now, and I’m really enjoying it. I have never really been one to work out at home, but having the chance to work out right at home with Anthony makes it so much more fun. The plyo workout is killer -  a lot [...]

Quick Break

Happy Tuesday! Thanks for your good luck wishes on my long day…I’m trucking through. I started with a 6 am Sculpt class, which was actually really fun this morning and luckily got me energized! Breakfast was toast with PB + banana + pumpkin butter + raspberries. After spending the morning at a health fair, and the [...]

Beautiful Ordinary Day

October 5th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Dinner, Lunch

Sometimes I think we aren’t thankful enough for the ordinary…a day to wake up with your spouse, go to work (be thankful to have a job), and do what you love to do. Today I’m thankful for the beauty in the ordinary. Is Honeycrisp the best apple? I don’t know if I’ve ever even had [...]

Lunch with the girls

October 1st, 2009 · 7 Comments · Dinner, Lunch

All the girls from work went to have lunch with our friend Whitney today…Whitney’s a dietitian in our department who’s on maternity leave right now after having a beautiful baby girl, Claire, in August. I’m lucky to work with some great women. Of course, there was plenty of food involved. Heather makes amazing homemade salsa…. And, [...]

Amazing Fall Day

September 30th, 2009 · 12 Comments · Dinner, Lunch

The weather here has been fabulous today…after a busy morning teaching a bariatric surgery nutrition class, I wanted to be out in the sunshine so bad. I grabbed a grilled cheese sandwich and a salad from the hospital cafe and settled on a nice little park bench outside the hospital for a late lunch. It [...]
