The Funk Has Left the Building!
Over the last year different friends have encouraged me through my weight loss/fitness journey, and a few even telling me that by witnessing my transition, they’ve in turn been inspired to get more fit. Wow. While I wouldn’t call it a burden (seriously?! I’m the one that posts about it for everyone to read!) but… Continue reading

Positives of a deployment…
With deployment looming in the not-so-distant future, I was thinking yesterday about some of the things I actually look forward to during a deployment. Things like mowing the lawn. Yep. I actually LOVE mowing the lawn. There is something so gratifying about seeing those freshly made tracks on the grass, the smell of it mixed… Continue reading

Failure with caveats….
Well, my little iphone experiment is a bit of a failure. Sort of. I haven’t turned it back on yet, but I am going to shortly. With an upcoming deployment, the awesome hubbs has offered to give his up (since he won’t be able to use it anyway) so we can still save a bit… Continue reading

2 Heads and Second Thoughts
I am seriously having withdrawals. We went in and did it last night. We downgraded the iphone. I don’t think I will ever forget the look on the guy’s face that was helping us. I seriously think he thought I had two heads. “Downgrade? Really? From the iphone?” “Yes, we are looking to lower our… Continue reading

Amputation Time Part II
Tomorrow I will be disconnecting my iPhone. And while I will miss the gadget-y features (yes, gadget-y is a word! 😉 I’m actually looking forward to it. In the past couple of days I haven’t been checking my phone as much in “preparation” for the “surgery”. Surprisingly enough, I’ve felt more relaxed and much more… Continue reading

But there has been a nagging feeling in the back of my mind for quite some time. I have to… Continue reading

New PR!
As always, I do my best thinking while running and had a million thoughts and ideas for this post and now I’m ready to jot it all out and can’t remember half of them!! Here is what I DO remember: 1. I ran my 3rd half marathon today. While I still struggle to get (and… Continue reading

Success or Failure?
It really does come down to choices. All of life is a choice. Am I going to eat garbage or healthy nourishing food? Am I going to wear sweats or jeans? Am I going to workout or sit on my couch? Am I going to go for a walk or bike today? Am I going to… Continue reading

One year ago
It seems only fitting that I run a race on the anniversary of my very first. One year ago today my intentional fitness journey began. I had always wanted to do a 5k “someday”. Then I met Katy. Katy “talked me into” doing the Ford Island Bridge Run 10k. Well, why not? And she even… Continue reading

I lost 50 and other random thoughts
50 pounds. Just gotta take it in and celebrate it. I feel like this past year I’ve done quite a bit of “success celebrations”! Life isn’t always rosy, but I feel very grateful to be in my skin, in my shoes, and loving my life. We are settling in to our new home quite nicely… Continue reading
