What's Working...and Not so Much Wednesday!
1. Look at this! I happened to hop into a Starbucks yesterday for a much needed caffeine jolt, and I was surprised to see the calories listed on all, yes ALL their coffee drinks. Then I looked below to their pastry/muffin/sandwhich case and found the same thing. Well..all I gotta say is this: it's about time someone let the cat outta the bag! All those suckers are loaded with calories (and fat), and it's easy to get blindsided by a mere 'zucchini muffin' (as it sounds so healthy!) breakfast when in reality it holds a ~400 plus calories and god knows how much fat.
I was in a serious state of wonder over this discovery, when the person behind me in line told me about a law passed here in California and came into effect on January 1st. I'm pretty sure I voted yes for this one (it was ~5 yrs ago- foggy memory with props) and it's come to fruition. Let's see if it can make a difference on obesity here in good ol' Cali...
And Not so Much...
1. I miss my two most favorite pair of glasses:
Above - my former every day, hip, cool, awesome Oakley glasses. I bought them when I was ~ 4mo prego (in leiu of clothing) and they kept me feeling cool til' now. Wah....You and your lenses will be missed.
And ...my first pair of Tifosi's. They're still awesome! They've been my BFF's in all my training these past two years. But they're now missing the rubber ends on the sides- so they've virtually become lethal weapons. I still love them but I must move on.....
Unless of course I muster the energy to contact each sunglass company and see if there's a way to order those replacement parts. Hmm...will I actually do this? I took the time/energy to post about em' right'? Let's see;-) Will keep ya posted...
And that's basically what's working and not so much over here. Now YOU! What's working and not so much in your neck of the woods. Would LOVE to hear it! Talk to me, talk to me;-)

nice job! I'm a lil' jealous over here...;-0
The year has been pretty good so far - I keep active and happy. Can't ask for much more.
I mean, maybe I do want a muffin? Well, at least I know what I'll be consuming right away.
I was surprised when I first saw it too, because I hadn't heard about the new law being passed.
I still get whatever drink I want at Starbuck's (on occasion) because I only ever drink 1/4 of it at a time (and that is on the smallest size)
Well thats not completely true, I don't get the cold drinks because those I know I would chug.
What's working this week for me~ My workouts have been downright amazing!! Which then inspires me to eat better :D
What's working for me this week? TRX (have you tried it?) and my swimming. Back at it after a nasty 3-week cold. Try swimming while you can't breathe...not so great.
What is out of control for me. Eating. Bad! Working on that. Not that I am eating too much, but maybe not enough, and not good-for-my-body food.
And my blog. Have been unmotivated to write. Getting back on track as of today!
Have a great week!
What's working: My 'structured' tri training started on Monday. First masters swim on Monday am in ~6 weekes = bliss :)
What's not working: I think I'm coming to the realization that the career path I've chosen is not something I'm enjoying or finding fulfilling. I have some ideas in mind, and I think it's time to start doing some research and reaching out...
I wear Tifosis too. Got them on sale at the reioutlet.com.
What's not working: Me. I'm here reading blogs instead of spending the day in Quickbooks, closing out the year. Whoops.

Needs improving: emotional eating at work (I'm looking for solutions during my high/low times and will find a way...), exhaustion (maybe the body is saying something...), middle schooler hormones and attidues (is there a cure for that? heehee!)
Healthy Journeys to All,
:-)
Not working: still need to work on sleep (why do we need to sleep anyway? lol), still need to drink more water.
Bummer about your shades! I still wear my favorite Ryders even though I stepped on them and they're crooked.
Maybe fixing glasses should be your goal next week :)
Poor sunglasses...
Thanks for your kind words on my blog BTW. You rock.
