my life
Life Changing
I’m in the process of realizing a dream I’ve had in my heart the last four years. The dream of not being a selfish brat and trying to do something good for someone who could really use it. I’ve always known I live a charmed life. Great family, great husband, great friends. The kind of […]
Digging up my passions
Its been nearly two years since I posted. I remember when I used this space to empty my mind, my heart. In the time since I have been here, I’ve been missing a special part of me that I let fall to the very bottom of my “must-do” list. My heart for writing. I love […]
Synchroblog: A love letter to my body
Synchroblog: writing simultaneously on the same topic, in different locations. Women all over the world are doing it, loving it, allowing it to set them free… “A Love Letter to my Body” I first read about it here, and she read about it here. I decided that I need to do this as well. So […]
The Finish: Fitness Challenge Six Weeks
I finished the Fitness Challenge. Been there. Done that. I even got the t-shirt! I feel great. I’d like to thank my long-suffering husband Derek. Derek who encouraged me to sign up for the challenge in the first place. Derek who sacrificed a clean house and meals on the table so that I could go to […]
Fitness Challenge: Week Four
Ugh. Once again I am WAY late on this update, but I figured late is better than NEVER. This will be short and sweet… We weighed in Tuesday due to the Memorial Day holiday. One more day to have made progress…or not. Weighing in after a three-day weekend filled with eating, drinking and periodic workouts […]
Fitness Challenge: Week 3
Week three weigh-in. I left work, headed to the gym and was resigned to the fact that I felt terrible, I had cheated over the weekend and I was going to back slide this week. With that in mind I pounded out a few miles on the treadmill before the weigh-in, hoping for a last […]
Fitness Challenge: Week 2
Week two in the books. We had our weekly meeting and weigh-in last night and I was ecstatic to learn I dropped 1.8 lbs last week! The best news is that I can physically feel the difference in my body, the reshaping taking place, which is better than simple weight lost. Looking forward to next week when […]
The Fitness Challenge….this is where I get extreme
Diet. Exercise. Weight Loss. BMI. Counting Calories. Sit-ups. Do any of these words (phrases) make you break out in hives? Yeah. So I remember waaaaay back in the day when I was in high-school, I was pencil thin (too thin, but whatever) used to eat like a horse (the worst possible foods) and exercise was more natural than […]
Year two…fading into year three
Two years. How is it possible that two full years have passed since we promised to love each other no matter what? I only remember parts of that day. Not because it wasn’t memorable, but because it was like a dream. It was a day filled with laughter, happiness and the heaviest dress I have […]
A Perfect Moment in Time
I love that Derek and I like to do things together. We do things apart all the time, with friends or co-workers or whatever, but we do a lot together. I appreciate that we have a lot in common and enjoy the same kinds of entertainment activities. Today we made the oh-so-familiar trip out to […]
