The first full day back to normal daily life was not as easy a transition as I thought it would be. Swimming was first on the agenda but after 9 days away from the water my arms and legs had to work double time. I still got in a good workout but boy was I …

I survived
I made it home! I lived through 8 12 hour work days in a row and it feels so good to be home. The only problem with heading home after being away for over a week is that this is what dinner looked like: But it was delicious purely because I did not have to …
WIAW – Trade Show Style
Eating while traveling is hard enough but eating while working at a trade show is even more difficult. You are either running around frantic and don't realize what time it is and skip a meal OR you are bored snacking on the chips and candy that are around the various booths. I have been trying …
Simple Sunday
After the errands are run, the apartment is cleaned and the mind is prepared for the coming week, it's time for a simple Sunday dinner. Last night I made some really easy chicken and threw together a salad. After cleaning a few thin chicken breasts I sprayed them lightly with olive oil and sprinkled oregano, …
A Sunny Day for Books
Yesterday was my first full hour at the gym. I biked for 45 minutes and then finished the hour with some planks, push ups and clam exercises. While I might have been nice and sweaty on the bike, the entire time I was staring at the treadmills trying not to hop on one and join …
WIAW – Scrambled

Yes, it is the start of the Jewish new year and it couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. I am back on my feet and getting stronger every day and I know that this year will start off a million times better than last year ended. My very first meal of the new …
So Refreshing
It's simple, easy and will brighten any day. Make your own Basil Lemonade. I simply poured some powdered lemonade (but you could certainly make your own for extra bonus points) into a glass and added a large handful of basil that I stirred around and muddled a bit. Shake right before you drink and you …
Learn New Things All The Time
As cheesy as it sounds, it's true. We are all growing and changing and adapting and experiencing. There is no way to avoid learning new things about ourselves. Recently I have learned more things about myself than I could possibly begin to share with you, so I thought I would take a random sampling. I …
WIAW – Spicing up Dinner
Tuesday morning started off with a typical cottage cheese breakfast, but in the most fantastic bowl! Because I got to work at 7:15 am yesterday morning, around 9 am I was ready for breakfast number two: Peanut Butter Puffins and some trail mix and a biscuit or two. Lunch was the turkey crockpot meal I …
