I think this leg injury has been a little bit of a blessing in the fact that I have had a week to not obsess over the marathon, training, marathon training eating, mile logging, and icing my legs down.  It has given me a little more time to reconnect with my creative side.  I somehow [...]

This is the dress that I would like to wear to my cousin’s wedding.  I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…… http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=&id=033023&catId=CLOTHES-DRESSES-PRINTED&pushId=CLOTHES-DRESSES-PRINTED&popId=CLOTHES-DRESSES&sortProperties=&navCount=260&navAction=middle&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=009&colorName=BLACK MOTIF&isSubcategory=&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType=templateA With that being written, I must go crank out crunches, planks, side planks, more crunches, more planks, more side planks, more, more, more!

I have a new goal in mind.  I would like this to be the first summer since I have been a mom that I do not have to wear a skirted swim suit bottom.  I like to do my part by being considerate of those around me, trying not blind anyone, so I will do [...]

I ventured out for a short walk before I had to pick up Penelope from preschool.  I felt just fine as I walked along, chatting with my friend, freezing our asses off.  I told her we were going to run to a sign about twenty feet away.  I couldn’t even make it halfway there.  I [...]

It has been a week since I have taken off from training.  It has been a long week.  I don’t like how I feel when I am not able to work out whenever and however I choose to.  My energy level has been lower than usual and I don’t sleep as well.  I have missed [...]

I did something that I have never done before.  I went to Weight Watchers on Saturday morning for a weigh in even though I had devoured the four donuts and various other disgusting fat and calorie laden fare.  I had missed weigh in on Thursday since I had to have my leg looked at by the [...]

I have continued to be very honest on this blog, so with that written, I am going to confess that I have really let myself go this past week.  I haven’t followed an eating plan, I have eaten whatever I wanted, and some of those things that I have eaten have been in large amounts. [...]

No work out, today.  Ton of cookies eaten.  This pretty much sums up my day.  I am about to write out my eating plan for tomorrow.  The more I sit in pain, the more I feel sorry for myself.  The more I feel sorry for myself, the more I want to eat.  This all or [...]

I have my leg propped up with ice on my shin as I type this.  All seemed fine until I was standing in the shower, this morning and all of a sudden I had a sharp, stabbing pain in my tibia.  My first impression was that I had stretched in an awkward way in yoga [...]
