  • Champagne! And I will have to have an obligatory Budweiser on Christmas Day with my husband's family. But other than that, wine is fine for me!
  • I also log for cleaning, but even if it's vigorous cleaning (tub scrub, vacuuming stairs, etc. and YES! washing the dog I always work up a sweat) I always use the "light-moderate cleaning" to make sure I'm not padding my numbers for the day. Ever wonder why you can be exhausted after shopping all day? Because you're…
  • Y U Mad - Birdman (with Nicki Minaj and Lil' Wayne) 6 foot 7 foot - Lil Wayne I'm on One - Drake
  • At a recent baby shower, the hostess made these Crescent Pinwheels. They were really delicious and looked great on the platter. I plugged in the ingredients below to the recipe calculator to come up with the nutritional info. Ingredients 1 tube (8 count) reduced fat Pillsbury crescent rolls 1/2 tub Alouette reduced fat…
  • My husband has been waking up at 5 to go to the gym before work (his office has a gym attached...best thing ever). I usually go into work 2 hours after him, so I would just sleep. But this January I started waking up with him to go to the gym before work. It is hard for someone who is not an early riser to get in the swing…
  • bumpity bump!
  • Intergalactic - Beastie Boys Ain't No Rest for the Wicked - Cage the Elephant Everlong - Foo Fighters Good Life - Kanye West (F. T-Pain) Anything by Matt & Kim - it's kind of weird/electronic sounding but their beats are great for jogging. Try "Don't Slow Down" or "I'll Take Us Home" This Is How We Do It - Montell Jordan…
  • Bump for later. Sounds refreshing!
  • I've been out of school for a few years, but I definitely remember getting a desk job after graduation and how amazed I was by how sedentary everything is. I miss having to run/walk 20 minutes across campus to catch a bus or make a class. What great exercise without even realizing I was getting it! I'm in business…
  • During these summer months, I can't think of anything better than having baked potatoes while camping. A microwave potato will do, and oven baked potatoes are usually my go-to. However, Cooking a baked potato in a campfire is possibly the most delicious thing in the world. Especially this 4th of July weekend, don't forget…
  • shut the front door. I am getting off work early today, going grocery shopping before heading home (already planned). Watermelon is SOOOOO getting added to my list. Thank you!
  • Sliced or diced cucumbers mixed with sliced/diced tomatoes - Add some reduced-fat feta cheese crumbles, S&P and a splash of red wine vinegar and shake it all about. It's a delicious side with a lean meat. Approx. 100 calories, 4 g fat or Baby Sandwiches 3 slices Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Whole Wheat Breads - 120 cal 2…
  • Chicken, cherry tomato, bell pepper, onion and mushroom kabobs marinated all day, then served over steamed rice. Marinade (not the healthiest, but everything just melts in your mouth) *change proportions to suit taste* 1/2 c. olive oil 1/3 c. low sodium soy sauce (or teriyaki sauce if you have leftovers) 1 tbsp minced…
  • Yesterday was Zumba (45 min...whew!) and then a 60 minute walk with the hubby and pup. Today will be another 60 minute walk with the hubby and pup, then packing up hubby, myself, AND pup for separate weekend excursions: me helping a friend move and attending a wedding in Dallas, hubby on a bachelor weekend in *ahem* las…
  • What is your recipe for the Thai Lettuce Cups? I loooooooove lettuce wraps.
  • I like the Nestea citrus green tea (diet). I splash about an inch of that into my glass, then fill the rest with ice and water. It gives it enough of a taste to not be quite so repetitive as glass after glass of water. Good luck on your journey and your upcoming marriage!
  • Katie from Houston here. Welcome!
  • I'm also a proponent of veggie wraps. My junior/senior years of college, I was equally busy running in 8 different directions at once. You can make a veggie wrap, wrap it in foil and throw it in your bag for lunch on the go later. Also pack one of those pump-spray salad dressings to spray on before you eat for some added…
  • I got married last September. Make sure to take advantage of all your appointments and errands that you'll be running around doing. Park far away, plan ahead if you know you're going to be running wedding errands all day so you don't stop for fast food. Talk to your husband-to-be and see if you can work out a plan where…
  • It depends on your industry. At the state level, each state typically has a purchasing or procurement website that you can register with to view all their business opportunities. My company uses a business called Onvia (no endorsement, just stating the facts) where we've set up a filter to only receive business…
  • I was a skeptic, too. I've been on here for about 2 months now and have "only" lost 8 lbs. However, I haven't drastically altered my eating/drinking habits or exercise. Kick up your exercise 15 minutes a day that you would normally be sitting around doing nothing. Call someone and walk&talk or go on a window-shopping walk…
  • I will drink a glass of 1% milk at home while I'm getting ready for work (7-730ish). When I get settled in at work, I'll have a slim fast around 830 and I'm not hungry until 12:30 or 1. I really like the Extra Creamy Chocolate...it tastes like liquid cocoa puffs cereal. No lie! I pour it in a little cup over ice and make…
  • Check www.fedbizopps.gov - the home for Federal Business Opportunities. It lists by agency all active and archived solicitations for almost every field and industry imaginable. That is the best website I know of for federal procurements. I'm in business development and deal with RFPs on a daily basis.
