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.

Veggies for Breakfast

I can’t seem to get over veggies for breakfast. Last week I had a fried egg over asparagus, as seen on Good Eats. It changed my breakfast life!

Okay, maybe it’s not so dramatic, particularly since this morning’s veggie is not new to my breakfast table, but it does get me inspired for new [...]

How to Pack a Lunch

Alright folks. I finally broke down and went to the doctor after dealing with an infection for the past few days. Now that I’ve got my antibiotics, I think it’ll be smooth sailing from here on out…..

Started off the day with Edgar’s version of Huevos Rancheros. My version would only have been slightly [...]

Processed Food

Since then, I’ve used it 987938479324 times. Okay, maybe about 5 [...]

Some Things Don't Change

Today begins (HOPEFULLY) my last week before goal. I weighed in this morning at 141.8 (a .6 gain from Saturday, because of the excess salt and bread I’ve eaten the last few days, but a .6 loss from last week), and now I begin the “Wendie Plan.” In a nutshell, it’s “metabolism confusion.” You [...]

New Milestones Reached

This past weekend I decided that I needed to buy shorts.

I haven’t worn shorts since middle school. This is partially because I never found any that fit me right/looked good on me. Partially because every summer event that I went to growing up required a certain length to shorts, and such length could [...]
