Here's Johnny!!!!

I am in the process or I guess I should be honest and let you know that my husband is in the process of tweaking my website.  I hope to have it all up and running by next weekend. I haven’t written in a while because I have been in a real funk.  I haven’t felt [...]

Oh, What A Night

There is so much that I want to try to get out of my head and onto the page, but I also don’t want to ramble on and on.  If that happens, you can just stop reading.  Your choice. Yesterday started out well.  I tried to stay really busy, which included going to the gym and [...]

Hyper Hypo

I finally got my lab results back for the Lupus test and I was thrilled to find out that it was negative.  This is the second negative test that I have had and getting a false positive is very common especially when there is any inflammation in the body.  There were a few times that [...]

Damn You, Metabolism, Damn You To Hell

I don’t remember the last time that I went four days without working out.  It has been that long, now.  I have reached the point where I have used excuses not to get to the gym or exercise at home.  Granted we had company in from out of town, but I could have hopped on [...]

You Wanna Lose?

I saw something on television, today that truly blew my mind.  I have seen many weight loss success stories before, but seeing a woman that lost 530 pounds on Oprah really took the cake.  I know cake probably isn’t the ideal term to use when writing about weight loss, but holy cake icing, this was [...]

Fit, Pants, Fit!

I cranked out 2.5 miles of running on the treadmill, pulled off three reps of 100 pound leg presses and calf raises, ten minutes of intense climbing on the spin bike, then ran sprints for five minutes.  To say that my legs are tired would be a huge understatement.  I am thrilled that I am [...]

Own It

After a long day and evening, yesterday, I awoke to a house full of ten year old girls.  My daughter had a very small slumber party and wanted to eat at Loveless Cafe in Nashville for her birthday.  It is funny how eating healthfully most of the time result in some pretty severe digestive issues [...]

Take That, Fat!

The past two weeks have proven to be a total success.  I am down exactly eight pounds and I couldn’t be more pleased with that number.  I managed to get my pants back on, but they are still not fitting well enough to be seen wearing them in public, however, it’s progress.  I am more convinced more [...]

Floundering

I went roller skating, today.  Of course I took my kids, but decided I would go ahead and skate as well and now that I look back, it was probably a pretty stupid thing to do.  I could have hurt myself, but fortunately I didn’t.  If I would have had the rink to myself and [...]

Burn, Baby, Burn

It seems that triathlon season has ended for me as I went to register for one taking place, August 29th, but it was sold out.  I’m not going to lead any of you to believe that I was crushed or even mildly disappointed.  I don’t even want to get on the wait list.  I have had [...]
