Life

What do you think about when staring out the car window? I had every intention of blogging while I was away. I even started writing a little, while I was on the beach, but I wanted to wait, and I’m glad I did. Most of the time the words pour out of me, and sometimes…

I can’t sleep – this never happens to me! I’ve got so much stuff swimming around in my head; no one is going to want to read my blog if I’m not making any progress, what’s my deal? I had to have this discussion recently with a friend. Her response: people like your blog because…

This is the earliest I have EVER started packing for vacation, I’m usually up til 2am the night before we leave frantically folding laundry and over packing.  It’s so adult like 🙂 I even started a new playlist for those magical beach runs, I’ll share when I’m done. Summer is winding down, as we get…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Yay! Sweet! After weeks (and more weeks) of gaining and losing the same few pounds…I finally made a breakthrough! Down 5 pounds! 🙂 I’ve been finding it hard to stay motivated lately, this helps though. I am truly, my own worst critic. I have a friend, who shall remain nameless, who talks (to) about herself…
