Blast from the past Very First post!
Here is my very first post dated July 1, 2009. WOW a lot has changed! I now have 2 perfect Grandbabies! I no longer work as a receptionist. Now I babysit full time. Somethings stayed exactly the same…. I still can’t handle stress without eating. I still could easily eat a 1lb bag of peanut butter M&M’s at one sitting. (Notice how I am now avoiding all mention of dieting!??! Yea….. oh well, 2013 is a new year right??) Now it’s 2026 and I’m fully retired and living in Idaho!??! Let’s get this party started!! Hello! As you may have read from my bio my name is Connie. I’m 51. Married mother of 3. First time Grandma with 1 absolutely PERFECT Granddaughter. I work full time as a receptionist for an optometrist in Escondido. With each of the different hats I wear I have stress that I need to learn to manage without using food. (I have that management skill…

One big UGH!!!
The last day of vacation makes me sad. I don’t wannnnnnnnna go back to the real world!!! The real world means getting up early, dieting, exercising and going to work. I DON’T WANNNNNNNAAAA!!!!!! I would rather see how the other half live… you know the one’s? You DO?!?! Could you introduce ME?!?!? I’m Dusting Off Old Posts So Google Notices Me Again You know that awkward moment when you run into someone you used to talk to every day and they clearly don’t remember your name? That’s basically my relationship with Google right now. So I’m fixing it. 🧹 Lately, I’ve been wandering through my older blog posts like a librarian with a red pen, updating headlines, polishing keywords, and gently reminding Google that yes, I’m still here and still weirdly productive. Updating old posts for SEO is like changing the batteries in your smoke detector. Nothing flashy, but suddenly everything works better. I’m tightening things up, adding clearer headings,…

Ring ring…
ring ring…. hello?? Today was my weekly phone call with Tyler at WellStrong Fitness. Tyler is really pleased with my progress. (Helllllo! ME TOO!!!! I’m 23.5 pounds lighter! Okay, you know I have to add a YEA ME!!! There… I feel better. I mean really? A whole blog entry and no YEA ME?!?! Really?!?!) Tyler said I get to continue with what I’m doing now. Weighted vest, no fruit at night. Lean meats and lots of salads. I told Tyler that I bought a weighted Jump-rope, he was pleased with that. I am to start out with just 5 minutes of jumping and only 3 days. (WHEW!!! MAN!! Can you imagine if he wanted more time and more days!? You should be thankful too…. you would have had more of me complaining and whining.) Course…. I haven’t picked a day to start jumping yet. I’ll let you know how that goes It’s now 2026 and I’m STILL blogging!?!? The blog…

(I’m soooo gonna hear about this post!) It’s January 2026! A long way from the beginning of PBnWhine. Giving My Old Blog Posts a Glow-Up (Because Google Has Standards) You know that drawer. The one stuffed with cords from electronics you no longer own and a manual for a toaster that died during the Obama administration. That, dear reader, is what old blog posts look like to Google if you ignore them long enough. So I’ve been rolling up my sleeves and revisiting older posts on peanutbutterandwhine.com. Not because I suddenly enjoy…
