Shape Ups

Posted on August 22, 2011 by BrassyDel

I’m sorry, guys: this is another post about shoes. Look, I said I was sorry! Anway, these aren’t silly, frilly, shiny, toe-mashing, achy-foot-making, shoes. These are my Sketcher’s Shape Ups, and I love them. I’ve been reading about these suckers for awhile, and I finally broke down recently and bought them. Of course, I paid $80 for them and just…

My Delicious, Irresistible Problem with Opiates

Posted on May 30, 2011 by BrassyDel

Macaroni and cheese with bacon, onions and mushroom. Grilled cheese with bacon and mushroom. Cold ciabata sandwich with Gouda cheese, bacon, lettuce… and mushroom. I’m trying to eat healthier and cut back on cheese (again) and all of these things are just calling to me, especially the cheese. Really it’s the cheese that makes it, though bacon and mushrooms certainly…

Calorie Counting for Chocoholics

Posted on May 5, 2011 by BrassyDel

As I’m approaching the 6-week “no more excuses not to exercise” postpartum mark, I revisited my DailyBurn account to start counting calories again. That very same day, I went out to run some errands and Target had Hershey’s Eggs on deep discount post-Easter clearance. So. You can imagine how calorie counting went after that. Just a hypothetical question: if I’m…

Body After Brunch

Posted on January 6, 2010 by BrassyDel

Following the Body After Baby event hosted by MamaNotes, I was doing pretty well in regards to diet and (occasional) exerise. During the event, I lost the last of my baby weight (and I finally got into Jeans That Zip – ie, Not Maternity Pants). By Yule I was down another 3 pounds! Exciting, right? Well, we celebrate Yule at…

Body After Baby Challenge – Before and After!

Posted on December 10, 2009 by BrassyDel

Side note: I wanted the pictures facing the same way so I flipped the Before horizontally. I didn’t even realize at first that it makes it look like my tattoo is new! Oops. Heh. Here you go! This is my before and after photos from Body After Baby (hosted by MamaNotes!). I am back down to my pre-pregnancy weight, and…

Body After Baby Challenge – Week 8

Posted on November 17, 2009 by BrassyDel

It’s the very last week of Body After Baby by MamaNotes.com. Extra pound is gone (buh-bye) and another half a pound. Nothing too exciting. The weather here sucks lately. We got another foot of snow over the weekend, and the Hubbles was out of town on a hunting trip for several days (me, teething baby, two rowdy, barky dogs; and…

Body After Baby Challenge – Week 7

Posted on November 10, 2009 by BrassyDel

We now bid adieu to Week 6 of MamaNotes.com‘s Body after Baby Challenge. And welcome (I use the word loosely) Week 7. Seven pts from last week (sleeping – something I’m fairly accomplished at) added to my previous total of 265 pts leaves me with 272 pts so far and two weeks left. I’m going to shake things up a…

Body After Baby Challenge – Week 6

Posted on November 4, 2009 by BrassyDel

Yesterday marked the beginning of Week 6 of MamaNotes.com‘s Body after Baby Challenge. Week 5 Recap I don’t really want to talk about Week 5. It snowed. A lot. We got about 28 inches of snow Wednesday and Thursday, and it was dark and cold and dreary and very Seasonal Affective Disorder up in here. I ate chocolate, and peanut…

Body After Baby Challenge – Week 5

Posted on October 27, 2009 by BrassyDel

Is it Week 5 of MamaNotes.com‘s Body after Baby Challenge already? Excuse me while I hyperventilate a little over here. Okay, I’m back. Week 4 Recap I did okay. Scale didn’t budge, but I made some progress on exercise with the mini challenge (sit-ups/crunches). It was 1 pt each, with a max of 50 pts per day (350 pt max…

Body After Baby Challenge – Week 4

Posted on October 21, 2009 by BrassyDel

Oh my goodness, it’s Week 4 already! We’re almost halfway done here! First, I’m going to start with the good news: As of this morning, I have lost all of my baby weight. I’m completely stoked! My next goal is another 7 pounds. After those 7 pounds, I will weigh less than I have in years. I will have another…
