LiveFit, end of Phase I recap

January 30, 2012

As promised, LiveFit progress pics!  Now, I am many things.  I like to think I’m a pretty nice person, I pick up on new concepts quickly and I have a deeply compassionate heart.   I am not, however, skilled WHATSOEVER in taking self portraits with a self-timer.  So, forgive my frizzy hair and poor lighting and [...]

Wedding Wednesday

January 25, 2012

1. My wedding doesn’t have a theme.  Does it need a theme?  I googled “wedding theme” for ideas and came across Tacky Weddings.  It is exactly what you might think.  Heinously tacky wedding photos and videos.  And while I was wasting time on Tacky Weddings, I came across The Lovely Bride, which appears to be [...]

LiveFit week 3 update

January 23, 2012

I’m glad to say this week was a VAST improvement over last week.  I even hesitated linking to that post because I just wanted to learn from it and set it aside. The weekends are always toughest for me when it comes to indulgences and I’m not 100% certain why.  Something having to do with [...]

Why I’m sad the Ravens lost.

January 22, 2012

So, the Ravens lost tonight, the game they needed to win to advance to the SuperBowl.  And before I go on, allow me to acknowledge it is a game.  It is a pastime, it is a sport, it is a hobby.  There are far more important things to worry about in this world. But, I’m [...]

January 20, 2012

This is how we roll at Gold’s. One word.  HAWT. (P.S. No, that’s not me teaching.)

Book #2, A Homemade Life

January 18, 2012

It’s nearly ten 0’clock in the evening and I’m just sitting down to write today’s post because, gosh darn it, I said I would write on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays (and I asked you to hold me to it).  So I’m writing.  I’m fueled by whole wheat pasta, a sense of purpose and Tanzanian dark [...]

Carrot Cake protein squares

January 13, 2012

Not that anyone has asked but one of the foods that I eat regularly on the LiveFit plan (other than copious amounts of vegetables, egg whites and chicken breast) are these protein squares.   I’ve made probably 6 or 7 batches of these over the last few weeks and they’ve definitely become my go-to mid-morning [...]

My 2012 goals

January 11, 2012

Last year, and this year, I’ve waited a little bit before posting my New Year’s goals.  Not long, just a week or two.  Why?  Well, I felt as though I wanted to get to know 2012 a little bit and I wanted to let the excitement of the new year wear off so that I [...]

LiveFit update, wedding recon and books!

January 9, 2012

We got our first little dusting of snow here in the District so it FINALLY feels like Winter.  I didn’t mind the unseasonably warm weather we’ve been having but my sweaters were starting to feel lonely and unloved.  I happily broke out a turtleneck one for work today. So, it’s Monday!  So that means it’s [...]
