I’ve had this post ready to go for 2 weeks, but got hung up on what picture to post. So. Here are some apples. Because those are healthy! TA-DAAAA! If you’ve read the backstory and seen the diet plan, now you probably want to know how it all holds up over time. I only started…
Year: 2015
9 Years
Does anyone else feel like it was just our anniversary?! At least we didn’t forget this year! In fact, Paul jumped the gun a little and thought it was yesterday. I spent my afternoon on Amazon, searching for a good leather gift, but then realized if I ordered from our account, he would see it…
Back to School!
In case you don’t follow me on Instagram or Facebook, I am happy to report that Stevie is back in school! He got the all clear from the health department – the E Coli is completely out of his system – and he can now resume his usual activities, which include, but are not limited to:…
Fall Capsule Wardrobe 2015: The True Cost
This post is not my big Fall wardrobe reveal. This post is merely to tell you that more big changes are coming for me. Changes that I’m scared to commit to, but know are necessary. I had mentioned in a previous post that I wasn’t sure whether I’d be doing a capsule wardrobe, a categorized…
Quick Little Trip + I'm His Biggest Fan
Let’s take a break from all the health talk and let me tell you about our weekend where there was very little health involved! Look at this guy. My handsome husband. He gets better with age, it’s so unfair. I would go anywhere with him. He’s seriously the coolest. And the most perfect person in…
The Low Sugar Lowdown: My Diet Plan
Oh the post you’ve all been waiting for! What magical hex did this girl use to lose 19 pounds all of a sudden?? I, much like you, wish it was as simple as magic. But there’s no pill or finger snapping that will make it happen. That being said, if you are in the right…
The Low Sugar Lowdown: Backstory
This is kind of long, but if you are interested, I want to start at the beginning and tell you guys a little about why I decided to cut back on sugar and start a healthier lifestyle. I have been cheerfully chubby or pleasantly plump most of my adult life. A BMI calculator would have…
The Low Sugar Lowdown
Dear Sugar, This is hard for me to say. So I’ll just be very honest with you. It’s time you and I parted ways. Listen, you were good while things lasted. Great, even! I felt like you were what kept me going during the day. I felt like you were my reward for the challenges…
Stevie's Quarantine Week One
And here’s the part where I tell you my big time quarantine goals fell through the cracks pretty quickly. But… but… it’s only been four days! You know what? Sometimes I forget who we are dealing with here. Ooooh I am not good at quarantine. Before he got sick, Stevie was in the middle of an upswing.…
Quarantine Goalz!
Even though Stevie is on the mend, and I’m fairly certain the E. coli has run it’s 10-day course, the Department of Health has instructed us to keep him out of school and away from other kids until they can clear him. Two consecutive clean stool samples is the way to do that. We delightfully…
