I love that song, by Gavin DeGraw, every time I hear it I turn it way up. What’s that saying? Some days I can conquer the world, and other days I put laundry in the oven. Yup, pretty much. Tomorrow will be better! Every morning, we get a chance to be to different. A…
Actions speak louder than words – I’m struggling
I broke and cried the ugliest cry this morning. I tend to carry a lot on my shoulders and I just couldn’t anymore. I’m overwhelmed. I slept terrible last night (or didn’t sleep really). I did my respective drop offs, came home cried out my ugly cry and jumped in the shower. We all…
Nothing but a LOVE struggle
Today reflected a large amount of questions, thought, and opportunity. We had a morning here, let me tell you. Woke up late, unfinished homework from the weekend, missed the bus…spilled breakfast you name it, it happened. While I was on my now drop off rounds (since we were so late) a thought popped into my…
Feeling Preppy
While my main focus with this blog is weight loss, it involves your entire life. I’m a mom with three kids, two in various activities. I don’t have the luxury of just dropping everything for the gym and focusing on how many lettuce leaves are on my plate. I’m busy, as we all are. My…
Push it
I dragged myself out of bed this morning at 4:45am…got dressed, put my shoes on, and left for the 5:30am spin class. It’s been a while! . It’s so early but I knew it would be my only opportunity to work out today and I need to get some spin time in. I was super…
Week-end recap
It’s been a busy few days! I’m feverishly reworking my website, getting the kids organized to start school, and the laundry pile never seems to end! Total full mom mode! We had a great time on Friday night at the pep rally for football – Matthew is so excited to be playing again this year…
My mission: Turn my fantasy into reality
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…
One year – Up, down, and all around
This year has been nothing but a roller coaster. My youngest turns one in less than a week. It feels like some sort of victory – we made it. The sleepless nights, bottles, lots of firsts. And then I’m sad. Can’t believe she’s one already it truly feels like I just had her but so…
Balancing
I spent much of my day head buried in work with my stressors swimming around in the background. It’s all about choices. Are my circumstances going to change if I’m stressing about it all day? No. So why put myself through that. I refuse to let it consume me. (This is me talking myself out…
True Story
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…
