Caloric Intake

Ann on March 30th, 2013

Well, what a week … I knew this past week would pose some challenges in the caloric intake department with food and booze and also with my regular exercise routine. What I didn’t count on was getting sick … AGAIN. Tuesday morning when I woke up I was exhausted. And I slept decently. I felt [...]

I was in Vegas for a long weekend with The Husband and our good friends. As I said in yesterday’s post I gave myself permission to eat and drink whatever I wanted. That being said I didn’t go super nuts. Many of my meals were decent in the calorie department, in fact, some were actually [...]

I stole that headline from a friend. But I love it. So I had to use it. I don’t believe I announced to my readers about my trip to Vegas this weekend. Though between my Facebook friends and fellow Challengers and my mom I think I got my readers covered. Curt and I have made [...]

Curt and I drove down to Monterey on Friday night. That’s one of the great things about our life and lifestyle … our friend Tag, who is a professional golfer, texted Curt on Monday night asking if he should save tickets for us for the weekend. Before I hit the sack we had decided that [...]

One of my regular readers, Jen, asked if I would be willing to share what I eat to be successful on Weight Watchers®. So I am going to share my “menus”/tracking/what I have eaten this week. For those of you not familiar with WW–just a few things I want to mention before I launch into my [...]

Ann on June 10th, 2012

I am committed to eating healthy as I wrote about recently. But I have to admit I am having a hard time with the accountability. Weight Watchers helped me lose my 30 pounds years ago. So I have decided to utilize the expertise of them once again. I don’t have time to go to meetings [...]

Last night I went to an Oakland A’s game with Curt and some friends. I debated on what I should do about dinner at the ballpark. There really aren’t any healthy options. But I wanted to enjoy myself but still not go crazy in the caloric intake department. If you plan, you can still enjoy [...]

From what I have read and what I I just know 7-9 hours of sleep at night is recommended and ideal. Because I get up at 5:30 four days a week I try to get in bed between 9:30 and 10. I usually have no problem falling asleep. A lot of time I am crashing [...]
