So creamy and yummy…If I was a cow I would laugh too!
I have a new love and it’s laughing cow cheese. Yes, the commercials got me. I bought a Costco size pack and it’s worth every penny. Pure love. I won’t let anyone separate us now you know? If I can have one low cal love it has to be these little 35 cal wedgies. It makes eating my apples that much more fun. I always look forward to my apple snack time. *Just imagine Homer drooling over food…that’s me right now!* 
Anyone else in love too or is it just me and Lori?
SO, WANNA SLAP ME ON THE WRIST? Yes, been with my company for 14 months and I finally filled out my Blue Cross insurance docs. It was made available since my third month but I’ve been lazy. Don’t know why I procrastinated. But here I am - it’s in. Got the PPO plan and just waiting for it to kick in February.
I love Yani’s blog about living in the here and now. Girl, I am taking that to heart. That’s what I’m doing.
It’s not great on the homefront. Honey and I are at each other’s throat. But we are talking, apologizing, realizing the problem isn’t with each other but the situation at hand. I am taking everything you guys told me and pulling out the necessary tools to deal with the chaos. All in all, we are all confused…….we just have to pull through for his son. I want to be a stable and firm foundation for my honey. Since Sunday it’s been rocky and I need to stablize it now.
I told Shanna one of my goals this week, thanks for a great blog Shanna, is to be a good listener. I need to stop butting in mid-sentence and let him finish his thought. I have my own brain and he has his. I need to be a good friend and listener. I will put it to practice daily - thanks Yani.
I am really sore from yesterday…no surprise there and I knew what did it too. It wasn’t the cardio, it was yoga. Ahhh my favorite culprit. I am sore and I loves it.
Today I ate very well. My assistant offered homemade whole wheat pasta w/ all veggies, I couldn’t refuse and had two servings.
Other then lack of sleep - falling asleep at 4am and waking up at 7am is not a lot for me. 
I am tired but will truck through today.
I have two classes, a set and yoga class to attend. I am banking on getting my 3rd quarter for not eating after 9pm Debbie!!!
I am right there with you. I like laughing cow. Great work.
Ha ha…gonna be first to comment?? lol
First of all, yay on getting another quarter!!
You know you guys are in my prayers. Life can really throw some rough stuff at ya. I think you’ve gotten some good tips…listening is very important. At least if you guys have to snap at each other, then you are going right back and apologizing and stuff. I just hope things work out for the best in the end.
Hang in there girl! Keep taking care of yourself and enjoy your workouts!
debbie
totally obsessed with the laughing cow…love it!! you’re not alone on that one…yay cheese!
laugh that cheese! glad to hear about your goals, that sounds really good!
I love Laughing Cow! There is nothing like some good ol cheese and crackers to me and Laughing Cow really fits the bill.
Today is was snowing and sleeting and cold, and I as soon as I got off work all I wanted to do was get in my car, drive home, curl up in my warm bed and just completely forget about my kickboxing class….and then I thought…What would Nancy do? You’re THAT much of an inspiration to me!!! Hope everything starts evening out on the home front. Hang in there!
I love that cheese, I heard about it and just recently tried it. I like dipping carrots in it.
Oh it ate my comment….but I did have one more thing to tell you. I also have Blue Cross PPO!
I like the cheese too but it is kind of expensive cause I dont have Costco or Sams nearby. At the grocery store it is like $5 for just one little circle thingeee—so much cheaper at Sams and Costco. Glad you are loving the cow! So happy to hear you and Rod are working on your communication in this matter. Stressful situations can make or break people so it is nice to hear about two people finding some positive in a stressful time. I am hoping for he best with Rod’s son. It is hard to remember what it is like ot be a kid when you arent one anymore. Despite his troublesm he is a kid and that is tough in and of itself. Have a good one buddy!
LC is AWESOME! Love the Garlic and Herb too! I CAN’T believe you just filled out your insurance forms, my friend! I’m tired too, my friend. I couldn’t go to sleep after I got your text…so I prayed instead and wrote Chris a letter. I love you, girlfriend…be patient…this is a learning experience for all of you! Will continue to keep you, Rod and his family in my prayers!
Uh I’m addicted to that cheese also!!! I bought Wasa crackers to eat then on oh its so creamy and yummy like you said. I have never tried it on apples and now I want to lol so next time I have an apple I’m reaching for that cheese.
Sorry to hear theres trouble on the home front, but it sounds like you are trying very hard and taking the high rose to working things out the right and nice way. You will get through this one day at a time :o)
Cheese! hmm well I don’t really like eating cheese plain like I know some people do in those cubes. But, I was pairing my apples with pb but that cost lots of calories and fat. So…now my apples are naked!
So I think your apple and cheese idea is great! I will have to look for that cheese. I hope it is low on sodium…so my apples don’t have to run around naked! hehe
You guys crack me up. Oh, I love my cheese on Fuji apples…..ah to die for. It took a while to get used to but I am addicted to it.
Dagny - try them girl!!!! Makes me think of your apple butter! *wink*
Ok, now I’m hungry!!! Gonna buy some of that cheese next time I hit the store! Always assumed it would be gross! One of those things that are too good to be true, but I will give it a shot.
Nancy-you and your family are in my prayers!
Thanks girl! Oh, I wasn’t into either but just happen to see my co-worker eating some with her fruits and I thought - wow great way to get a good healthy snack in.
Thank you Megan!
nany, laughing cow is so good and creamy……yummmy is making my mouth watery
now about honey and you…is a really tuff time between you and him….my advice is to listen to him and his innermost hurts and concerns. is better to just be someone to talk to,then when he is ready he will solcit your advice or comments. let that happen in his initiative not yours but you need to show love and concern. you really need to be willing to take time to really listen showing him genuime interest is what your sweetheart needs. learn to ask questions and draw him out so you can more fully understand the situation. “like tell more!” “i see” do i understand this is what your saying? i hadn’t realize that. please help me understand more so i can share my concers…remember try to keep your communication positive is important to have a loving flow betwen you 2….love ya girl….H5 you can get thru this!
Now I need to go buy some cuz you all are making me crave it and I haven’t even tasted the stuff!
I’ve never had laughing cow, but now I have to try it!
I am so glad the two of you are trying to communicate. That is key right now. If you truly listen to him, you will be his rock and the two of you will pull through this.
Really try to get some more sleep though, girl. I get 4-5 hrs a night and that is awful. I can’t imagine 3. Remember, your workouts will suffer if you don’t re-energize your body with sleep. Also, studies show that lack of sleep contributes to weight gain. I seriously think that may be part of my problem. Not an excuse, just reality. I’m working on it!
Hang in there girl!!
Forget the laughing cow cheese… did you say HOMEMADE whole wheat pasta??? *drooooooooools* I do like the cow cheese (that sounds funny), but don’t buy it very often.
You and Rod will make it through this. Guess what I heard this morning? Fear and Faith cannot co-exist. That really got my brain churning. I also heard these words “what you fear is what you worship”. I tried to think of things I fear to see if those words rang true. My biggest fear is losing my son in some horrible accident. Yes, I worship my son. He’s the most important thing in my life. And YES, I should be putting God first. Hard to do. Anyway, just thoughts to ponder there buddy.
Looks like I may MISS my spin class tonight due to weather. I can’t get hold of them to reserve a bike, so they prolly closed for the day. Waaaaaaaaaaaa…
I like your goal of fully listening more. My husband is bad about not fully listening to me, cause his little engineer mind is racing ahead to what his answer is going to be, and he ALWAYS has a retort. Can really get under my skin. But I lubs him anway…
Nancy, have a GREAT day! Smile in the face of adversity. Hug those you love. Dance your way into happiness, and by all means….. spread that love around lady. It’s THE most important thing.
Boy, I sure am mouthy today aren’t I? LMAOOOOO
Hugggggggggggggs,
Shan

Yep…Im a fan…love my little cheese wedges
Anything from having it with an apple…to clery…to crackers…yum yum yum!
Hang in there on the Rod and son issue. It may feel unending but keep powering through. Love ya bunches Nancy!!
You have me drooling for laughing cow cheese and I’ve never even tried it! But that will be on my grocery list this week! LOL
I don’t think I ever tried it. On apples? Cheese and apples? hmmm….gotta try that out. I’ll try everything…at least once
Well, have to go shopping tonight and guess what I just wrote on my list….yep…. 1 laughing cow to go!
I’ve tried Laughing Cow, and it’s pretty good. Luckily I’m not a big cheese fan!
Keep communicating and being open with your boyfriend. Stressful situations can get anyone snappy, but you will need to lean on each other and hold each other. My boyfriend and I have been through a lot, and when we get to bickering when we are stressed, we try to walk away and come back when we can talk instead of yell. We get a LOT further that way and end up understanding each other a little better.
Betsy is so cute! Drool away. What’s great about them is the portion - 35 cals per wedge. I indulge in 1 wedgie a day.
OH yes love the laughing cow
you didn’t tell me Costco sells it
you been holdin’ out on me??????
Hang in there
you and Rod will get through this
getting through the tough times makes you stronger and it will make your relationship stronger
Luv ya
Lori
I love LC!! I eat 2 a day.
I need to try that, I keep passing it up.
Your lunch sounds yummy!
And you ARE a good friend girl, don’t tell yourself you aren’t! Now pass me that cheese…
I’m so darn behind Nancy
I didn’t know you were having problems with Rod and his son? I’ll have to e-mail you and find out whats up. So sorry I haven’t been here for you.
I’ve heard of the laughing cow cheese, actually seen it in the store. Seemed to be a bit pricey, but if its really that good, hey I’m going for it!!!
Its so hard to find healthy snacks that actually taste good.
Take care girlfriend. I’m here if you need an extra shoulder.
Hugs
Jane
