NSV - The Pants
A few months ago, I purchased THEEEE perfect pants. They fit SO well, I went back and bought them in three different colors. THEN, I went back 2 days later and bought 2 more pair in a size smaller. So today before work, I just decided to try a pair on to see how much further I had to go. Their size-up sisters had gotten…

ONE pound away from skydiving!!!!
In Missouri, you have to be under 225 lbs to go tandem skydiving (*that would be strapped to a knowledgeable instructor - the ONLY way to go!) Well, I have lost 35 lbs and am ONE POUND AWAY from their requirement. Technically I'm going to wait until I am 220 before I sign up (why tempt fate!?) but I am SO excited to reach…

What's your Halloween Costume!?
What did you end up picking this year as a costume for Halloween? Is it what you WANTED to wear? What would be your ultimate Halloween costume next year if you were at your goal? My sister gave me a huge bag of options from her dress up closet (she's got 6 kids!) So I think I'll go with 'the Phantom of the Opera" - mask,…

I heard the voice!
Running late this morning and stopped at local gas station quickmart for a diet soda and hoping to scavenge some breakfast. Got the banana first, and that's where the good news ENDS. I looked at the string cheese and the baked chips. Hmmm, no. What to choose, what to choose? The Hotzi breakfast sandwiches were between me…

That thing I ate made me feel like crap! Share!
Today my coworker was headed out for lunch and I gave him $1 and said "Ooh, get me a chicken sandwich.' You know the one. BLEGH!! I've spent the afternoon with a lump in my gut. That $1 was NOT worth feeling like this. What have YOU eaten that made you feel like crap!?
