I’m not sure what Mal and I were more bummed about this morning: our vacation ending or the red eye flight back to Boston. We both tried to sleep on the plane, but it just didn’t happen. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get comfortable.
When we landed at Logan, Mal and I then had to navigate our way home via public transportation (bus to train to taxi), which wasn’t nearly as fun as sitting by the pool at The Wynn. Even still, I’m glad to be home. I love vacation, but I was ready to get back to my ‘normal’ life.
At South Station, Mal and I had about 45 minutes to kill before our train home, so we grabbed a quick breakfast. I went with oatmeal from Cosi; Mal opted for McDonald’s.
The Cosi oatmeal was surprisingly awesome. I actually like it better than Starbucks oatmeal. The consistency is thicker and heartier, and I liked being able to pick my toppings. I added pistachios, granola, and dried cranberries.
Despite the exhausting travels home, I found the May issue of People StyleWatchwith the one-page article about my book! It’s so cool!!!!
Feel Great Weight
Last week, I received this email from a reader:
Hi Tina,
Hope you are well! I have a question/potential blog topic for you. I have noticed that the more progress I see in my body due to workouts and diets, the more likely I am to slack off or allow myself more food. Maybe this is human nature? Do you struggle with this and do you have any tips on how to combat it?
Check out my response over on the FGW blog: 4 Ways to Stop Slacking Off on Your Diet
Question of the Day
One of my goals for the day is to clean up my Google Reader. For months, it’s been at 1000+ items, so I really want to streamline the blogs that I read as well as add some new ones to my list. I know a lot of you guys like to learn about new blogs as well, so please feel free to share your favorites!
Which blog(s) do you absolutely have to read every day?
P.S. Stay tuned for my recaps from Vegas!

I always read yours, Caitlin’s, Clare’s (fittingitallin), Julie’s (peanut butter fingers), Gabriela’s (uneviesaine), and Colleen’s (lunchbox diaries). Those are the ones that even when I’m super busy, I always make a point to catch up on that day, others I might leave waiting for a little while. It’s also a great variety.

I’m so glad you posted this question because this is my main problem with trying to lose weight. I’ll get to a point when I’m starting to feel good and notice changes in my body and then BAM! I fall right off the health wagon until I’m feeling bloated and my jeans are uncomfortable and then back at it I go. I hate it.
of course, YOURS – cnc.
sorry, had to throw it in.
how sweet it is
sweet pea’s kitchen

3. Healthy Tipping Points
4. fANNEtastic Foods
5. Meals and
because they’re just so interesting and inspiring
Fascinating, almost everyone is listing other healthy living blogs! I read a lot of chocolate review blogs …. I feel a bit out of the norm
ohhh, I love reading these blogs:
[daily]
Carrots ‘N’ Cake <–
Sweet Tooth Sweet Life
Young House Love
[weekly]
Three Men and a Lady
MODG
I love love LOVE that Sweet Tooth Sweet Life, Young House Love, and MODG all have fan pages on facebook and post on fb a link to new blog posts — I wish Carrots 'N' Cake did that, I've tried finding a page on fb, but haven't been able to! I don't like "subscribing" to blogs because I get WAY too many emails — but when I log onto fb, it's during my "down" time and that when I love notices about new blog posts that I can read without having to go to all the individual pages to see if there is anything new.
I have to read CNC of course, Healthy Tipping Point and We are Not Martha.
Healthy tipping point
Daily garnish
Kath eats
Oh she glows

Skinny runner
Hungry runner girl
