A Shutter Crazy, Soup Giving, Sensational Sunday!
WHAT A DAY! it was like 75 degrees, sunny and simply gorgeous. Totally not what I expected a few days after our first frost. Also unexpectedly the child allowed me to sleep in an extra hour. It was wonderful! I snuck out of the house to hit the gym before he even woke up. My return to the gym was amazing. I haven’t been since before the move, like 4 months ago.

I want to take a step back and see how many points I was averaging on a daily

Product Review: Dr. McDougalls Ready-To-Serve Soup
These soups are FANTASTIC. I’m not beating around the bush on this one. For the past few days I’ve been bringing a box and some crackers to work for lunch. The first day it was the Vegetable and I was worried it wouldn’t be enough to fill me up. I was wrong.

Holy Schmoly I’m on CNN! Let me take a screen shot cause I’m sure it would be up for long..
