Necklace: Kate Spade [exact] Vest: J. Crew Factory [option, option, option] Dress: Old Navy, out of stock [option, option] Sandals: Tommy Hilfiger via TJ Maxx [exact] Well, it’s been about another month since my last Weight Watchers check in so figured it was time for another update (not trying to be vain, just want to hold myself accountable here.) As of now, after 10 weeks on WW, I am down 17.8 pounds- YES! I am officially back at my pre-pregnancy weight, although I would like to Read More
Insta-lately (February- Part 2)
It's Monday again (how did that happen?!) so figured I'd do a second installment of "insta-lately." (In case you missed last week's here it is.) Enjoy! First up, I've been spending a lot of time in the kitchen, and recently whipped up these Healthy Blueberry Streusel Muffins from Hungry Girl. Definitely tasty, but I could taste the texture of the whole wheat flour (maybe I'm more alert of it being pregnant or something?!), which I didn't care for. I might try them again with all purpose Read More
Insta-Outfits & A Celebrity Shout-Out
I hate to “blog and run,” but today will be a quick post so I can get to work for another full day! Here’s some "insta-outfits" I’ve worn lately…(and yes, why not include running clothes as an “outfit”?!) It was hot…and cold this past week. Come on Mother Nature! So after a long work day yesterday, I got home from the office around 8pm and saw this video. Oh, you know, just a message from Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien: (click on the image to watch or click here) How cool is Read More
Friday Faves and a little Hungry Girl giveaway!
Happy Fridayyyy! So glad it’s finally here! Looking forward to a little R&R this weekend but until then…here are some of my faves from the week. (And if you stick with me to the bottom of the post, there’s a little something special!) I received a package of all kinds of goodies from Quest Nutrition. I recently stumbled upon Quest bars after doing the Hungry Girl diet. These bars are super high in protein and contain at least 20g in each bar, which keep me full for a Read More
The Hungry Girl Diet- Week 4 Recap
Although this is fourth week of the Hungry Girl diet, I have to admit, I didn’t do a good job of sticking to the plan like I did in week 1. So this week 4 recap might be a little wah wahhh. It was a stressful week at work, and I had a major sweet tooth the entire week (I blame it on “that time of the month”…TMI? My bad!) The food that I did have from the plan was definitely tasty…here is what I would have for a typical day: Egg whites with fruit and a Bagel thin Asian stir fry with chicken Read More
The Hungry Girl Diet- Week 3 Recap
Checking in for Week 3 on the Hungry Girl Diet! Similar to week 2, I came off a weekend where my husband and I were out of town so didn’t have much time to do food prep and was still recovering from my cold and getting some energy back so I could jump back into my workout routine 100%. Here’s a few of the meals I had: Grilled Cheese Platter (this was SO dang good- so creamy and cheesy!) Ginormous Salad with Turkey (super filling for lunch!) Fruity Fish & Potato Foil Pack with Read More
The Hungry Girl Diet- Week 2 Recap
So after a very successful week 1 on the Hungry Girl Diet, I was looking forward to week 2. Weeks 2-4 on the Hungry Girl diet plan allow for much more variety for each meal. For example, week 1 would have three recipe options for breakfast (oatmeal, eggs, Greek yogurt), but now the the variety has expanded with two more options for each meal and you can switch up lunch and dinner options any day of the week. I didn’t really get tired of the meals in week 1, but was excited to try some new Read More
The Hungry Girl Diet- Week 1 Recap
Towards the end of March, Lisa Lillien released her latest book, The Hungry Girl Diet. It is a four week program that claims: “Big portions. Big results.” I own several Hungry Girl cookbooks and love Lisa’s TV show and really wanted to give this a try. She claims that HG test dieters lost an average of 10 pounds in four weeks, with some losing more towards 20. I’m standing up in two weddings in the next couple months, so I was STOKED to try it out. (And random sidenote: my friend Kelly Read More
