Giveaway: Gold’s Gym Dance Workout for Wii – Closed

August 11, 2010

As you all know, I would like to lose a significant amount of weight prior to turning 31. As such, I spend a lot of my time now looking for new and *fun* ways to work out. Wii had a station in the expo hall at Blogher where you could test out their not-yet-released game [...]

I Love The Way You Lie by Eminem and Rihanna

August 9, 2010

I grew up in the first suburb north of Detroit.  The line separating my hometown, Ferndale, with Detroit was 8 Mile.  You can’t grow up in that area and not be at least a little bit of an Eminim fan.  My life was nothing like his, but I knew where he grew up and I [...]

Recipe: Maple-Glazed Roasted Carrots

July 28, 2010

Since I’ve had to drastically increase the amount of vegetables I consume on a daily basis carrots have become my new best friend.  I steam them, roast them, eat them raw… they pretty much always taste good with very little fuss.  With that being said, I’m always on the lookout for ways to make ‘em [...]

Present To Myself – Brother CS-6000i Sewing Machine

July 27, 2010

One of my goals on my to-do list is to learn how to make my own cloth dinner napkins.  About a year and a half ago the boyfriend and I ditched paper napkins for the eco-friendly cloth version and we’ve never looked back.  The only problem with cloth napkins is that they can be incredibly [...]

Bacon du Jour

July 26, 2010

Please excuse my dirty kitchen floor.  This is how Bacon prefers the floor – littered with cloth napkins and dish towels, which he pulls down from the counters to give himself a softer place to lay.  He’s an odd little guy!  Here he is patiently waiting for his dinner. Bacon’s dinner on this evening consisted [...]

New Restaurant: Lawry’s

July 26, 2010

Since moving to Chicago nearly seven years ago there has been one restaurant I’ve wanted to try but have never made it into both for fear that it would cost too much and fear that I wouldn’t like prime rib.  Finally though this weekend I made it into Lawry’s, one of the highlights of the [...]

My Favorite Nutrisystem Dessert: Chocolate Cool Whip Sandwich

July 22, 2010

I haven’t been posting Nutrisystem food pictures as much because I feel like I’ve settled into a routine.  It’s not nearly as interesting to me at this point, and some of the food – well it just looks like food.  Why share a picture if it’s not going to be pretty? What you see above [...]

Total Body Fat Blaster

July 20, 2010

Yesterday afternoon I was poking around on our DVD shelf looking for a good workout video.  About once a year I buy a new set and while I never know what I will find yesterday I found a video that is definitely not mine: Billy Blanks’ Tae Bo: Total Body Fat Blaster. Not that I [...]

Carrots

July 17, 2010

We finally made it to Chicago’s Green City Market this morning.  I’ve lived in Chicago for six and a half years and it has always been a goal of mine to attend.  Unfortunately I’m not usually willing to wake up at the crack of dawn to make my way through the crowds. The farmer’s market [...]

Goal #30: Be My Own Boss

July 16, 2010

{Source} I thought I would explain some of my to-do list, and what I hope to accomplish with each item.  Some goals are pretty easy to figure out, like reading books or visiting states.  But some, like Goal #30: Be My Own Boss, could possibly use a bit of explanation. Before I started blogging a [...]
