Where’d My Blog Mojo Go?

by Nicci on 01/08/2013

Yep, my blogging mojo disappeared after I started a new position at work. Then I got lazy after work & the gym most days. Yes, I’m making excuses to make myself feel better. Lol

I do miss my blends & try to keep in touch through twitter & other social media networks. Sometimes, I think about deleting this blog…anyone out there??? However, sitting and reminiscing brings back all the good times & fun experiences associated with this blog.

What’s else is new?

I got engaged Christmas morning 2011 & have been planning since. The big day is coming this May!

Also, I lost my precious furbaby later in the year which was hard for us. Missy was diagnosed with cancer & our time was cut short with her. I am an animal lover & I had Missy since she was 8 weeks…9 joyful years of puppy kisses! Still missing her today.

Later, we decided it was time to adopt a little one…no not kids. A rambunctious little 4 month lab/collie, named Rylee. Boy! Did I forget how hyper puppies can be. Lol (pictures to come)

What’s else has happened?

Working on my fitness, up & downs of losing/gaining. Sadly, it’s back to Square two, I refuse to say one b/c my fitness level is not that bad. I’m still doing FitCamp, a group fitness camp and tracking with Weight Watchers…again. Also, using MyFitnessPal and Sparkpeople for fitness.

Maybe I’ll cook some more nifty recipes or just do fitness & fun; debating on what direction to go with the little blog. Until then I’ll just update mainly on fitness and having fun!

Spring Into Fitness

by Nicci on 04/04/2012

Here I go again….I took a long hiatus from the blogging world. Work and every day life seemed to keep me busy. I made excuses not to blog, just read other blogs and twitter everyday.

Some things have changed since my last post, way back when…

Newly engaged and trying to plan a wedding! The engagement happened on Christmas day….big surprise!

I hope to share more info later with my readers as we move forward on wedding planning!

I took a break from Fit Camp…big mistake because I enjoyed the holidays too much. Now, I’m recovering and trying to maintain some of the weight I lost but also continue to reach my weight loss goal!

Meaning I’m not at my half-way mark anymore. Sigh* What’s really upsetting is that lean muscle I had…feels like jello now. I do feel I’m a fitness beginner all over again…but I’ll stay positive and succeed!

This situation brings me back to making more fitness goals and continuous clean eating; plus cooking more meals at home.

What’s new in your neck of the woods? Anyone starting over with fitness or making new healthy goals?

Just Flip It

by Nicci on 08/31/2011

Good Times at the Healthy Living Summit with blends, Krista and Shannon.

Frito-Lay had a great display table with information on how their products are cooked in healthier oils and seasoned.

How about a GIANT spatula for attendees!

 

We ROCKED that spatula!

Fitness Recap:

  • Monday- Was a good weight lifting day at Fit Camp. My arms still feel like jello.
  • Tuesday- No packing has occurred yet…I keep looking at things around the apartment; hoping all items will magically appear into boxes. Fixing this fantasy, of boxes magically appearing full, is on tonight’s agenda!
  • Wednesday- Today, I’m nervous about attending my workout because our trainer mentioned we will be trying something new in the gym. As long as it doesn’t hurt me…I’m okay with a new fitness challenge, especially one that will make me stronger.
  •  

    Do you push yourself in workouts, liking new challenges or do you stick with the same exercise routine?

    When  is the last time you posed with giant silverware? ;)

    Balancing Life

    by Nicci on 08/23/2011

    Hellooooo, Yes it’s been a awhile since I’ve blogged!
    I had to take a mini-hiatus to work on a schedule of life happenings. First, I was diligently training for a new position at work; which takes up a lot of my time.

    Then Chris and I decided to move, so we’ve been on the hunt for a new home…moving is not my favorite thing in the world. Luckily, we found a beautiful place and I can not wait to decorate and share little DIY projects on the blog.

    Refreshed and motivated to continue blogging, especially after visiting the great city of Philadelphia; attending the Healthy Living Summit! I had such an amazing time with old and new blogger friends.

    I’m back and ready to share what has been going on in my little neck of the woods.

    Don’t worry, I promise a recap of HLS to come very soon!
