I tried to hold out for as long as I possibly could before buying Halloween candy for trick or treaters.  I did not want to hassle with going to the store tomorrow, so I went and purchased a  butt load of candy today.  I know some people advise buying funky candy that you aren’t tempted by, but [...]

December 5th is quickly approaching and I am nowhere near being ready to run the half marathon.  I am not logging as many miles per week as I should be at this point.  Between injuries, pulled muscles, sick kids, and bad weather I just haven’t increased my distance enough.  I have come to the reality [...]

I had no choice, but to go to Krispy Kreme, today to pick up doughnuts for a class party.  My daughters were with me and asked if we could get a doughnut.  I dread sticky doughnut eating in the car, so we went in so that I could choose Halloween themed doughnuts for the party.  [...]

I would really like to know the reason behind the tiny seats on bicycles and spin bikes.  It just doesn’t feel natural to sit on a tiny seat that my ass practically swallows up when I get on.  For a woman, I think the front of the seat could devirginize a gal if that gal was to [...]

Yesterday, turned out to be a great day.  The weather was beautiful and with the leaves changing, there are so many scenic places in the Nashville area.  I took my girls to take fall photos at the park.  It was a great way to spend time with my kids.  I was planning to take a [...]

Today, October 25th would have been my little sister, Brandi’s 31st birthday.  She passed away at the age of 29.  I had a good, hard, ugly cry, last night even though I tried my best not to.  I anticipated that I would awake this morning and suddenly be in tears.  I wasn’t.  I have chosen [...]

I have noticed that the last few times that I have gone to a yoga class, I get a stomach ache at the beginning.  I am beginning to wonder if it’s nerves.  I get nervous when I have someone behind me and someone in front of me.  I get nervous that I’m going to cut [...]

There was no weigh in, yesterday. I have been home with my youngest daughter, who is sick.  I traveled with my family to Michigan over the weekend.  It was a nine hour drive and trying to stay occupied and awake in the car for that long usually results in a lot of snacking.  I started [...]

I am happy to report that I lost 2.4 pounds, this week.  I have broken out of my weigh in ritual a second week in a row and it feels good not to stress the way that I have in the past over weigh ins.  I wore jeans again, I ate a small banana, yogurt, [...]

 I am sitting here at 6:06 PM and I don’t think I could remove my ass from my sofa if there was a fire in the house.  I am so wiped out.  I weigh in tomorrow morning and I feel good about it.  I have been pushing myself for longer workouts and it’s paid off [...]
