Time’s Ticking

Time seems to be moving entirely too fast. Time, that thing I never have enough of. That thing I NEED more of! I have 4 1/2 weeks left in the Bodybuilding.com/Optimum Nutrition Transformation Challenge. To some this may sound like a lot of time, but not when it comes to losing weight and changing your [...]

56 Days Remaining – 8 Weeks

It seems like time is flying since I began the transformation challenge. I just finished week 4 and I can already see some changes happening. I had started a new meal plan and workout routine 2 weeks ago and I was a little scared of doing the meal plan. It was a LOT of food [...]

Week 3 – Making Changes

It’s hard to believe it’s already nearing the end of week 3. I’ve made some changes this week. A really good friend of mine, who happens to be a great personal trainer, gave me some sample meal plans so this week I started a new “diet” to help me throughout my Body Transformation Contests.  I’m [...]

Today was a rainy, dreary, yucky January day. Since Goran and I work out of our home office, I get plenty of chances to look out the window while washing dishes, fixing food, or just wandering about taking a break from the computer. After a bla-bla day of work, I hit my blogs and Adsense [...]

As I was making my Lean Cuisine Chicken Carbonara, (which I’m totally addicted to) for breakfast this … afternoon (hey, it’s Sunday), I spied the bowl I set out on the counter for dumping it into, once it finished cooking, and realized it’s the one with the ‘freckle’.
