More often than I would care to admit, I find myself eating out of sheer boredom or because I equate TV-watching with snack-eating. I could easily cut a minimum of 300-400 calories a day if I truly listened to my body instead of mindlessly satisfying the slightest of hunger pangs. I am deciding today, RIGHT… Continue reading Fighting Fake Hunger Pangs
Happy 2/22/22! To celebrate this exceptional day, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite duos: 2. The ultimate classic duo, PB & J. 8 or 80, can’t go wrong. 2. Since food’s on the brain (and more specifically, PB), my absolute biggest weakness is PB & chocolate. Reese’s, buckeyes, PB choc. milkshakes. Yes,… Continue reading 2/22/22
Another year gone in a blink of an eye. I am not sure how the beginning of the pandemic is now almost two years in the past, but here we are. I said it last year and I’ll say it again: I am hoping and praying for better days ahead in the new year. I… Continue reading 2021 Blessings
I read a whopping total of 121 books this year. Although this may seem odd, my goal for 2022 is to read WAY less. Ever since I started working at a library a couple years ago, my reading has gone up (understandable given I’m constantly tempted by books. And no, I don’t read on the… Continue reading Top Books of 2021
Oh, how wonderful it was to actually GO to a movie theater this year. Streaming at home with microwave popcorn in 2020 wasn’t the same as being in a theater (although I did plenty of streaming as well). Here are my top 10 movies and top 10 TV shows of 2021: Favorite Movies of 2021… Continue reading Top Movies & TV Shows of 2021
Nothing gets me pumped like the Trans-Siberian Orchestra during the Christmas season. Enjoy this holiday workout set to the rockin’ music of TSO! 🎸 Merry Christmas! *Note – the exercises are set to the beat of the music. Rather than counting reps, let the music guide you along (faster tempo = cardio; slower tempo =… Continue reading TSO Christmas Workout
Who else enjoyed a much needed break from Facebook on Monday? I know I did! It got me thinking… how great would it be if Facebook PURPOSELY went dark for one day a month? Just one day, that’s all I’m asking. I realize there’s a 0.0% chance of that happening since our society puts money… Continue reading Facebook DOWN, a glorious 6 hours
It’s GAME DAY! I am hoping that the Buckeyes can get back on track today after their loss to Oregon last week. Oregon was probably their toughest test this season, but regardless, the Bucks need to figure out their problem on defense. Last week, I went to an OSU party, and the FOOD was what… Continue reading Buckeye Chex Mix
The day is finally here… Buckeye football is BACK! I absolutely love this time of year. Does it truly get any better than the ‘ber months? Football games, playoff baseball games, cooler weather, gorgeous fall foliage, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and of course, Christmas! To celebrate tonight’s kickoff, I created a ‘GO BUCKS’ workout and playlist. Buckeye… Continue reading Ohio State Workout
When I am working out, it’s either in the morning when I’m trying to wake up or in the evening when I’m winding down from the day. Either way, I do not want to do much thinking. Hence, I created a playlist of songs that tell me what to do! There are tons of songs… Continue reading Songs Workout
