I think my favorite part about vacationing at the beach is getting up while the house is still quiet and going for a walk or run on the beach…paired with a quiet cup of coffee staring at the waves. So much has changed in the last year, I need a break and clarity on things….
Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
Ever kick yourself for not jumping at the chance to do something? Then, only to wait and take the opportunity next time it presents itself – if it does? I learned my lesson too many times. The job you were too scared to take? The potential friends you could’ve made but lacked the nerve…
Weighing on kicking ass…week 2?
Hey, I said the end of last week didn’t end well. I kind of kicked ass the last few days, working out, eating well. But one day (or a few) isn’t going to make up for days of being bad. I jumped on the scale this morning..up 2. Okay then. My first thought “damnit, I…
Cruise Control
Every week, in fact every day, I have the opportunity to start fresh. I started out the week great last week and then as the week went on my food choices went downhill. 9 times out of 10 my day starts off great, as the day goes on things may slowly decline. Everyday stresses get…
The Gift of Time
Yesterday, my daughter turned ten. I can’t believe it. I know it’s so cliché to say, but I literally feel like she was just born yesterday. It’s amazing how fast time flies by. We spent the day together just talking, running around, getting pampered and shopping. It was priceless. The bond between mother and daughter is…
Badassery at it’s best – today!
Have you ever wanted something so bad you can taste it? The sweet taste of victory! Every day I get up, get dressed and get closer to my goal. It’s all a juggling act, I know I’m not alone. I had a few discussions in the last couple days about this. I (and most other…
Controlled Chaos
I hate clutter, all kinds. It drives me crazy, but I have to live with it to an extent. I’ve got three kids, It’s impossible to avoid it at this point. But each day I try to do something to combat that. It’s August and before you know it school will be starting (I’m not trying…
Dance in the rain
I’ll keep this short and sweet! It’s been a hell of a week, but I had this fun day time date to look forward to all week. The hubs and I don’t get out much alone together and when we do it’s like the moons have to align to make it happen. Nothing ever goes…
Weighing in on kicking ass – Take 2 Week 1- And that’s a wrap!
I have to laugh at myself because of the title…yeah it’s a retake. Off to an excellent start! Feeling refreshed mind, body, and soul; I am down another pound this week. I’m pleased with that and think the week ahead will be even better. Bringing my two week total to six pounds! And hit…
“What If?” It’s all part of the struggle
I’m going to share something I haven’t really shared before except with a few people very close to me. I sometimes have these mini epiphanies, this one happened to be during my mud run. This whole weightloss thing, it’s not a physical challenge, it’s a mental one. I’m very analytical by nature, it’s who I…
