Hi there Blog Readers: The last few weeks have been so busy!! Thankfully for the most part I was able to stick to my Holiday Eating Plan. Healthy snacks, and healthy meals at every chance I had. I definitely didn’t feel all that bad about indulging on the special nights (and there were a few!)…… Continue reading The Last Days of 2013
Happy Sunday afternoon, everyone! I don’t know about you – but it is downright freezing around my house today (actually, technically it is below freezing). I have been drinking tea all afternoon and I was so thankful to have a bunch of Chicken Tortilla soup on the stove for lunch today. It wasn’t until I…… Continue reading Chicken Tortilla Soup and Chickpea Cookies
Happy Monday night, everyone. I have said it before – but I always feel like I have accomplished something on Monday nights. I have gotten up early (5:25 AM most mornings) and commuted to work, worked a day and gotten home. I do not make a habit of wishing away my work week (because then…… Continue reading A Sun Rise Walk
Happy Saturday morning, everyone! I am not quite sure, but I think Saturday morning is my favorite part of the traditional weekend.

My alarm went off starting at 6:15 and I did not get out of bed until…… Continue reading Simple Summer Dinner…
My first couple of days off the ‘cleanse’ were pretty interesting. I really enjoyed the food I was not able to eat last week. Saturday morning I was in a rush to get out the door – I really enjoyed the fact that I could grab a Kashi bar and take it with me on…… Continue reading The Last Couple of Days
I survived five days of clean eating. There were definitely times where I wanted chocolate, ice cream, and cake. I had a lot of temptations during the week – but thanks to some good planning and still being able to eat a lot of my favorite foods, I was able to survive! Remember the good…… Continue reading Clean Eating Project Day 5 – Where To Go From Here
Day four of the Clean Eating Project is coming to a close – thank goodness. All I want is some vanilla frozen (healthy!) yogurt to go with the beautiful peach I just ate. Is that a horrible thing to want? 🙂 Remember back to this morning when it was 8:30 or so and I had…… Continue reading The Tale of Two Dinners (The Rest of Day 4)
Day three of the Clean Eating Project started off really well. I have been so pleased when I wake up during this project not feeling hungry. It is also a really nice thing to go to bed not feeling hungry. (Yes, these are certainly first world problems – I wish that no one had to…… Continue reading Clean Eating Project Day Three
