Four Bands I’ve Been Listening to a Lot Lately

    1. Mumford & Sons
    2. Bright Eyes
    3. The National
    4. Wilco

Three places I travel this month:

    1. St. Louis for a conference for work
    2. Boston for a wedding
    3. NYC for a week!

Two Hysterical Websites

    1. Go Away – This is David Thorne’s website, and I have literally been laughing so hard I cry when I read some of his stuff. My personal favs: Justin’s Floodlight, Formal Complaints, and Missing Missy.
    2. Don’t Even Reply – This guy basically responds to classified ads and really screws around with the people. I can’t even articulate how funny they are, but check out My New Jogging Partner.

Half marathons are a pretty big deal for most people. I’m not sure why I felt like that no longer applied to me just because I had three under my belt, but I majorly slacked during training leading up to my fourth half, which was this past Saturday in Philadelphia. I wrote about my bad [...]

Attune Foods: Cooking with Real Ingredients

by Beth May 30, 2012

Did you know that I barely dabbled in the kitchen pre-Weight Watchers? It’s funny because people come to my blog a lot just for the recipes (which I’ve got to get back on!), but the truth is I’ve really only been experimenting in the kitchen for a relatively short amount of time. Click on the [...]

Chobani: A Giveaway

by Beth May 29, 2012

I love me some greek yogurt. I eat it almost every single day for a snack, usually plain with fruit or other mixins added it.  When I go for the flavored kind, my favorite is Chobani, hands down. I like that they have real fruit or honey at the bottom, rather than some of the [...]

Wednesday Weigh In Results

by Beth May 23, 2012
badhandwriting

I finally had a breakthrough on the scale this week and it feels sooooo good! I think a big part of it was that this past weekend was the one I didn’t travel for during the whole month of May, and being at home really helps me be better about staying on track. Even though [...]

These past couple weeks have been super super busy, which has made it really hard to stay on track. The weekend before last, I was in Philly from Saturday to Sunday to run the Broad Street Run with my sister, and then I went directly from her house to a staff retreat for my day [...]

In light of the fact that I haven’t been posting quite as much lately because I’ve been spread so thin with my day job, being a Leader for Weight Watchers, traveling every weekend, and life in general, I’d love to open the comments section up for referrals to other weight loss bloggers that you guys love.

I could eat pizza for every meal of every day and die happy. Just had to get that out there. Recently, I’ve been really into making personal pizzas where I can eat the whole thing for a filling meal with a reasonable amount of PointsPlus. I had some leftover chicken in the fridge and came [...]

Race Recap: Broad Street Run

Racing in Philly holds a special place in my heart because it’s where I ran my first half marathon in September 2010. Since then, I’ve run several times in Philly since my sister lives there, but Sunday was my first race there since that half marathon – The Broad Street Run. And the best part? [...]
