Resist
I’ve been sitting here staring out the window to my backyard for about 3 minutes with my hands resting on the keyboard. “I don’t have a clue…” I think to myself as the sun shines through the trampoline screen that is now a semi-permanent fixture right outside my bedroom window. Dog hair litters the floor, the… Continue reading

Inspiration
Feeling a little blah after the holidays I’ve been not so inspired to write lately, about food, fitness or anything else. I have officially stopped working at the gym (my choice, all good) and have been getting into the new routine working out and doing the mom thing. A friend of mine started a blog Fiftytwoin2017 in which… Continue reading

I entered the school cafeteria with my brave I’m-not-really-a-volunteer-type-person-but-I-want-to-be face on. PTA? Ugh. Being one of “those” moms? Please. Not for me. Always put together with makeup and hair completely in place? Not hardly – even if I wanted to be! Exhibit A: I do not have the hair to pull off being one of… Continue reading

I am simply at a loss. They’ve apprehended a suspect in the town we were last stationed in. The suspect worked at the commissary where we shopped for groceries. I wrote about another senseless shooting and felt the same numbness, but as others have written; this feels personal. This time it was my state. My… Continue reading

Fragile
Be careful with my heart. I know how you look at me when I’m wth my children. I see you watching. I’m aware. I know what it looks like. I’m a fragile mom, yes, but a mom who is battle-tested and will no longer shy away from meeting your eyes. I will not be shamed. I… Continue reading

Greatness is Contagious
I was watching her – not only as a bootcamp participant, but as an instructor. Early on in my heart of hearts, I knew that I was watching and learning to become an instructor myself. Yes, I was getting my own fitness on track, but deep down I felt like this was something I would… Continue reading
