Whole 30 — Day 04
It was a nice Sunday for my oldest, the pooches and I. We woke to the awesome smell of marinara that bubbled away most of the night. We both slept super late–we totally deserved it! Ha. Our plans were pretty subdued–she needed new school pants, so we had a trip to the mall on our…

Whole 30 — Day 03
I find the weekends to be the easiest to follow the Whole 30. How could it not be? You can be at home, you can make what you eat when you’re ready to eat it and you can plan ahead if you have to go somewhere. I kicked off the day with two eggs. Nothing…

Whole 30 Day 02
Today, I failed to plan well, but I didn’t let that deter me from my overall mission of making it through this Whole 30 with everyone else who started August 1st. This morning, I hit the snooze button too many times for an omelet to be a food choice. Honestly, I wasn’t that hungry thanks…

Whole 30 Day 01
Day 01 of my Whole 30 is in the books. My goal is to be asleep by 10:30 tonight. We shall see. Today wasn’t easy. My daughter had soccer from 9-11 am and I then had to rush to work. I have so much happening at work right now, it’s unreal. I somehow managed to…

Whole 30 Day 0
Because beginning a Whole 30 challenge in my house isn’t as easy as just going to the pantry, I have to have a Day 0 to prepare. My oldest and I raided the produce section at the local market tonight and I’ve been in the kitchen since cleaning and prepping vegetable, making my favorite Whole…

Julie & Julia
It never fails. Every time the movie Julie & Julia is on the television, I watch it. And, every time I watch it, I remember how new and exciting blogging felt when I started blogging years and years and years ago. How that blogging led to a long stint in military blogging which led to…

Having Fun With the Idea of E-Guides
The Whole 30|Whole 9 gang start a new Whole 30 on August 1. I suppose it’s time to admit I haven’t started it on my own and by the time I have myself in gear to go, it will be August 1 anyway. Maybe it’s best to just psych myself up for that beginning date…

Still Knowing, But Still Not Doing
First, the SodaStream machine came and it is divine. I am looking forward to purchasing some of the “Naturals” line and trying those mixes, but we enjoyed trying the Root Beer and the raspberry water mix-in this week. The carbonated water is amazingly good. I think this is a small appliance that won’t be stowed…

The Need for Fizz
I’ll admit it. Every now and then I’m a sucker for the Today’s Special Value on QVC. My problem? I never remember my customer number or anything else necessary to log-in. I struggle to remember, check all my usual hiding places and after about twenty minutes, I give up and use the phone. Using the…

Knowing & Doing Are Two Different Things
Cognitive dissonance (noun): The state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, esp. as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change. In other words, that ongoing grating in your mind that won’t stop until you make a decision or act. It’s like the chord at the end of the song that sets you a little…
