Fear. Again.
Apparently I am not getting the message. I am of the opinion that we learn lessons in life. Situations will recur in life until the lesson is absorbed. Sometimes I think it’s my job to learn things the hard way. Or at least the delayed way. I recently took my group exercise certification tests and… Continue reading

Fartleks, Minions, and It Was All My Neighbor’s Fault
Sometimes I question my sanity. I got up early (before the sun) hit the early spin class, was feeling great and got hubby off to work and was determined to play hard with the minions.

The left side of this image is what I looked like at that time: (Note the TWO pieces of cake! Gross!) I was in a size 16 (barely), should have been a… Continue reading

On Transitions
I don’t like transitions. Point A is fine. Point B is great. The messiness of the in between is scary and uncertain. I don’t like the messiness. At all. And for me, this applies to multiple areas of my life. In potty training my daughter, the convenience of Pull-Ups is great. But, I am overjoyed at… Continue reading

To The Beginner
It sucks starting something new. Having hope is scary. I know, you’ve had hope before and then it didn’t work. You see those skinny chicks and wonder how it would be to live like that. You think, “I’d be happy in my life, if only I looked like that.” Staying the same just isn’t an… Continue reading
