Action Breeds Feeling
So often I would say to myself, “When I _______________, then I’ll do _______________ . When I feel better, then I’ll get out and meet people. When I weigh x then I’ll be happy. When I have more confidence, then I will try that new thing. What I have discovered though is that the opposite… Continue reading

See You Laters and Welcome Back!
Now that we have our internet up and the house is starting to look like a home as the cardboard sea subsides…..I had to take a moment to share our See You Laters and our Welcome Backs! Jayde was my neighbor in Hawaii – STRONG CHICKS!! So much fun to workout one last time where… Continue reading

Make It Work
If it’s important to you, you’ll find a way. If it’s not, you’ll find an excuse. I love this saying so much as it applies to fitness, healthy eating, as well as just life in general for all the things we don’t do but know we should. As we begin unpacking in our new home… Continue reading

Last Day
Not really even sure how I feel at this point….. I’m very excited to be with family and see old friends and check out our new place and all the fun that comes with moving, but my heart is breaking just a bit today as it is our last on Oahu. In a few hours… Continue reading

Random Thoughts…
I’m feeling so blessed to have the opportunity to live in so many wonderful places and so grateful for the AMAZING people I have met along the way. I remember thinking not too long ago that I felt like this last year has been especially great and I was wishing I hadn’t “wasted” so much… Continue reading

The Great Aloha Run….
This was the crew – bright eyed and ready to run!! Today was my last event in Hawaii….and it’s been a bittersweet day. I ran 8.1 miles at a pace of 10:11. Not too shabby considering less than a year ago I WALKED my first event and have no idea what my time was. I… Continue reading

Tattoo
When I was 16 I REALLY wanted a tattoo. Really. A lot. But when my mom asked me what I wanted – I was always at a loss. I could never come up with something that I knew I’d be okay with at 90, or in a place that wouldn’t sag or droop or just… Continue reading

Outlook
I went out and got myself a new outlook. I felt awful about my first biathlon and I REFUSE to feel that way again this Sunday. A common thread in my life (that my mother will attest to) is that I like to “know it before I know it”. In other words – I expect… Continue reading

Excuses
I love The Biggest Loser, and while not a fan of this particular cast, I do love the theme of “No Excuses”. It really is mind over matter. You make a choice and you follow through. And each day is made up of a million little choices – workout or not? Eat crap or eat… Continue reading

The Power of Words
Sometimes I think we forget the power of our words. Anyone who has survived high school has experienced the hurt that words can cause. And conversely the elation that a kind or flattering comment can make. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s whole day is made by a well-intended compliment. Or maybe that’s… Continue reading
