f i v e

About all my brain can handle right now is a little brain dump.  Short.  Sweet.  Simple.  Here are five things...


  1. eMeals started up a low calorie meal plan.  Holler!!  You guys!  I could not be more excited about this!  I was actually going to email them and ask if this was something they were considering and thankfully it happened and I am so happy!  AND this was my first week doing it and it was MUCH more budget friendly {than the clean eating plan}.  I spent about $50 less than I was spending using their clean eating plan and I consider that a win!  All the dinners are less than 500 calories, how awesome is that?  Use code NEWYEAR for 15% off your meal plan.
  2. This is where I need your help.  I want to start doing yoga again, on a regular basis.  I'm considering joining a yoga studio but holy guacamole, that ish is 'spensive.  But I'm thinking it would be worth it and that could be my hobby {Jimmy said I needed a hobby}.  But I also like to have the option to do it at home. I have Bob Harper's Weight Loss Yoga and Jillian's Yoga Meltdown {they're both just OK} so what else is out there?  Any at home DVDs that measure up to the real deal?
  3. My baby boy, who is just 4 months old, is officially wearing 9 month clothes.  I mean, how is this possible?  He's getting so big, so fast, and that "second babies grow so much faster" stuff is ringing true.  He's already jumping in the jumperoo and he's taken a liking to sweet potatoes as of late.  He takes an 8 oz bottle every 3ish hours still, no wonder he's growing so big.  I love him so.
  4. I'm excited for normal TV to resume.  Lame, I know.  I mean, don't get me wrong, I love all the holiday shows and specials but mama wants her Biggest Loser, Parenthood and Modern Family back.  Please and thank you.
  5. A couple of days after my Honey Bunches of Oats party I went out with my fellow Columbus bloggers for our annual holiday/blog dinner.  I love these ladies.  Most of them don't blog anymore and that's OK.  I love that they aren't just my "blog friends" anymore, they are my IRL friends.  Some of us are moms, some are married, some blog, some are cat lovers {I didn't call you a crazy cat lady, Em}, some just moved here and some are about to move away, but we all mesh so well together.  So happy I've met each and every one of them.
Have a great weekend, ladies!

  3. I love Bethenny Frankel's yoga DVD. I'm not sure if it's the real deal but I did it for a few years (I only stopped bc of wrist issues not caused by the yoga).

  4. I really like the Crunch "Candlelight Yoga" DVD. Have you looked into local community centers/YMCAs? They are usually MUCH cheaper than other gyms.

  5. Is there a way to see examples meals from Emeals? I'm such a picky eater but would love to give it a shot if it's things I would actually eat.
    I started Bob's Weight Loss Yoga and hope it helps some. I'm giving it the month of January and then will reward myself with something if I've meet my weight loss goals.

  8. That picture just gives me the feels. I'm still thinking about emeals...I just doubt Boomer is going to eat the vegetarian meals they have. They look awesome to me, but she's so darn picky...Maybe I'll just do like my mom did. You eat this, or you eat nothin! Also James is a doll, sorry he's getting so big on you so quick!

  9. Yogaglo.com. It's like 15 a month for streaming and has tons of types of yoga and many different instructors. You can try a week for free to see what you think.

  10. James is so cute! I'm with you on Parenthood coming back. I second Brittney's recommendation about Crunch Candlelight yoga-- it's the only one I have that feels comparable to going to a class. I got it from my library for free to try before buying my own copy.

  11. I feel like I remember you saying that you don't have cable. Am I right? We are trying to ditch our cable for a streaming device and would love to know how you watch your shows without it. We are trying out a HD antennae and a Roku streaming device now but always looking for other suggestions.
