Life

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…

I’m feeling pretty amazing right now. Nothing better than a super sweaty run at the end of the day…accept maybe a pool to jump in afterwards but ah well. I had the best run I have had I think since I was first pregnant; over a year ago. I’m not a fast runner and that’s…

Happy 4th of July…a little late.  I had a great weekend spending time with my family, getting tons accomplished, feeling recharged and ready for my week.  Big changes coming this week – stay tuned! 4th of July is also my wedding anniversary, the hubs and I celebrated 14 years this year! Crazy how fast time…

“With each new day comes new strength and new thoughts.” – Eleanor Roosevelt Happy Wednesday! (I know it’s late) I’ve had a super productive week so far, and its only Wednesday! Still clearing the clutter – it’s a daily process, one thing at a time. I’m getting myself organized, and can see the signs of…

Transformation Tuesday – Four years ago and present day, still a work in progress I shared an article on my Facebook page earlier today about judgment. I’ve struggled with this my whole life. Never be anyone else’s judge; the overweight person trying to workout at the gym; trust me it was hard for them to…

I’ve been on a little bit of a hiatus this past week.  Life got crazy.  But here I am.   Today was Father’s Day, we spent the day at the beach.  It was fun, the kids love it.  I love the beach, I always have, it’s so peaceful; we’re all in a better place while…

I made an amazing dinner last night. My kids love pasta, I do too but I’m always looking for replacements to get more bang for my calorie buck. I see so many recipes for spaghetti squash but honestly, I’ve tried making it before and I wasn’t a fan. I think it was the texture.  But…

I’m just venting, it’s been a hell of a week. I really needed to dig deep. Nothing ever goes as planned (which can be good or bad). I’m solo this week so I’m all thrown off. This was going to be my week to get on a workout schedule, I failed miserably.  No hubs, no…

People keep saying they love my blog because I’m real. I’m saying exactly what’s happening, being honest and it’s what they have gone through or are going through. I felt pretty badass after my training yesterday…but then, I had a meltdown. We all do. We’re all entitled. It wasn’t pretty. Thank you for the phone/text…

Be patient. Things worth having, are worth waiting for. Good things come to those who wait. These are things I have to tell myself on an all-day everyday basis.  I’ll have a really great day…got a good workout in, ate great, and the scale doesn’t reflect that the next day. Duh, it takes more than…
