Hi, I'm Michelle! I'm a 24-year-old health-conscious foodie living in a small town in West Texas with my husband, Edgar, and our chihuahua-mutt, Maggie! I'm just trying to live and eat as well as I can.

An Honest Vacation

Since December 26th the husband and I have been out of town visiting family. We’ll be back on January 3rd and I sincerely hope I haven’t gained TOO much weight.

I will admit that I have not been in control of my eating. I can make excuses about how it’s the holidays or that [...]

A Lighter New Year

It’s crazy to me to think that when I started this year, I was approximately 180 lbs, and I will leave this year behind somewhere in the 150′s. I haven’t been in the 150′s since the early summer of 2008. I have not fit into my size 12′s since then, and it’s a good [...]

Victories at Week 12!

I DID IT! I MADE 10%!

Starting Weight: 176.8 10% Goal Weight: 159.1

New Weight!: 159.0

Total lost: 17.8 lbs!

To add to the list of victories, I can now pull all of my size 14 pants off without unbuttoning them. I can also get my size 12 jeans on without having [...]

For the love of Reese's

I’m convinced Reese’s peanut butter cups are my trigger. Every morning this week I’ve come to the office and found a little Christmas gift bag from one of my twenty-some-odd coworkers. Two of these included Reese’s in some shape or form. I find myself rearranging my points for the day in order to accomodate [...]

*Week 11*

Yesterday was a little difficult. We had our office Christmas party from 11:30-1:00, which I knew would make it near impossible to get an accurate reading when I weighed in at Weight Watchers. I had such a wonderful week and could tell I lost a significant amount of weight (in a healthy way). I [...]

So White 'n' Nerdy…

It’s been an exhausting last few days, but I’ll try to make a better point of posting on here.

I’m currently working on downloading and compiling a bunch of workout music. Can’t help but listen and dance to them as they load…

White ‘n’ Nerdy – Weird Al Yankovic So What? – P!nk Tainted [...]

Several Thoughts

No food pictures today. We overslept this morning, so breakfast was a quickie– HG “Complete & Utter Oatmeal Insanity!” and a Jimmy Dean Fully Cooked Breakfast Sausage patty.

Lunch was just a duplicate of last night’s dinner.

Dinner was something call “Skillet Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas.” Got the recipe off the back of the [...]

A Day of Good Fats and a 5K

Recently I’ve been curious to try out new breakfast ideas as well as find new uses for avocado. This resulting in the Southwestern Breakfast Burrito this morning. I like it.

Made with: a scramble of egg beaters, egg white, 1 whole egg, bell peppers, onions, center cut bacon, reduced fat shredded [...]

Something Bigger

There is something different I’ve noticed in myself over the past few months and especially now that wedding planning has passed.  I find myself aching to be involved in something bigger. I want to do something important. I want to live a life of service to others.

When I started looking for 5K races, I [...]

Lifestyle Choices

This evening Edgar and I went to the local YMCA and I ran my first training session in the Couch to 5K program before going to join my other half in the pool.

As I ran on the treadmill, I realized that I really didn’t care about the machine’s calculation of my calories. I [...]
