MyFitnessPal - Free Weight Loss Tools
Tomorrow is this blog’s 1st birthday! I had to go 102 pages back to figure that out, but there it is! And ironically, I’m back where I was when I started—housesitting for my aunt.
Stats wise it doesn’t seem like I’ve made much progress—sure I’ve lost 6 pounds, and ran 175 miles and neither of these things seems like a big achievement. But there are so many other things that I set out to do, and now a year later I find that I’ve accomplished some stuff:
I’ve made and kept doctors appointments.
I’ve found a second job.
I’ve drink more water.
I cook healthy meals, and my fridge is constantly full of produce.
I go to the local farmers market.
I’ve signed up for a half marathon in the fall!
I’ve bought shorts!
I’m still working on encouraging my husband to exercise and eat better—but hey, that reminds me, We finally got married, and did it our way with zero frills.
I bring my meals to work.
I have learned to better manage my finances, and have even started to save for emergencies and grad school!
Here’s to the next year!
Now I’m going to do some Zumba with the dog, before heading in to work! Last night a manager gave me a 10$ gift card for rocking it, and I’m torn between a bag of organic cherries, or looking for some nice matcha tea!
Edit: that honestly seemed like nothing and I’m tempted to double it.
The health benefits of matcha tea
This Japanese tea holds promise in the fight against cancer, HIV and fat.

I needed these in my life.
Eventually, I want to be able to do Insanity.
I think I’m going to try this! I never do challenges, but this looks doable. Well, at least up through 3 minutes. Could I really do this for 6 minutes? I doubt it, but I guess we’ll see. The other fun part? My husband wants to try it with me!! He never exercises with me so I’m excited when he wants to do things like this with me.
Reblogging this on June 1st, because I didn’t get a chance to do it in May. Planking it up this June. Will blog about it.

- herbs — a sprig of mint, basil, sage, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, or lavender
- water (tap or filtered)
- ice
DirectionsSupplies needed: 2 quart pitcher or jar with lid; muddler or wooden spoon
General formula for whatever fruit/herb combo you desire.
1. If using herbs, add a sprig of fresh herbs to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden spoon to bruise leaves and release flavor; don’t pulverize the herbs into bits.
2. Add approx. 2 cups of fruit to jar/pitcher; press and twist with muddler or handle of wooden spoon, just enough to release some of the juices
3. Fill jar/pitcher with ice cubes.
4. Add water to top of jar/pitcher.
5. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Suggested flavor combinations:
ALL CITRUS (no herbs) — Slice 1 orange, 1 lime, 1 lemon into rounds, then cut the rounds in half. Add to jar and proceed with muddling, add ice & water.
RASPBERRY LIME (no herbs) — Quarter 2 limes; with your hands, squeeze the juice into the jar, then throw in the squeezed lime quarters. Add 2 cups raspberries. Muddle, add ice & water.
PINEAPPLE MINT — Add a sprig of mint to the jar (you can throw in the whole sprig; or, remove the leaves from the sprig, if you prefer to have the mint swimming around and distributing in the jar). Muddle the mint. Add 2 cups pineapple pieces, muddle, add ice & water.
BLACKBERRY SAGE — Add sage sprig to jar and muddle. Add 2 cups blackberries; muddle, add ice & water.
