653 Days

New name. New goal. New Plan? Old Plan, ammended? Who the hell knows. In typical me fashion, I'm reinventing myself. I crave change like I crave Ben and Jerry's. I get bored, things feel stale and I start deleting accounts and changing names and making lists, all in the name of starting over. But, you …

Dear Future Me

Three and a half months ago,  I sat and wrote out an email to my future self using DearFutureMe.com. This was mid June and I was still feeling incredibly motivated. I promptly forgot I had written it and got lost in a place I like to call Summer Lazytown. Today, the email came. Dear FutureMe, …

Things I Forgot to Remember

Today, I did this. http://youtu.be/edlBxl-Jgwk Pat my fucking head, would you? It was awesome. It was hard. It was torture in some places. It was fun. It was challenging. It was an experience that I'm glad to have had, and I got to have it with Heather, who rocked it. On this hilly, sweaty, humid …

Today

*blows dust off blog* So, yeah. It's September. And bye summer, while we're at it. To say that this summer was nothing that I expected it to be would be incredibly accurate. In May, I was all 'I have a bunch of runs booked and look at all this produce and let's plan a million …

Where I Find Myself (a blog post of a much more personal nature)

Oscar Wilde said "Everything in moderation, including moderation." Wise, wise words. But his usually are. I find myself in unfamiliar territory lately. Not bad, just not what I'm used to. 2012 has been a really great year in a lot of ways, but the past few months, I've been struggling. I've come a long way …

Food, Glorious (Cooked) Food

It's COOL in my house. You guys, I can't even talk about how happy this makes me. I CAN COOK AGAIN. It's been a hot summer. A loooooong, hot summer. And our almost 100 year old house does not have the bliss of central air. So, there has been a distinctive lack of cooking going …

How is it August already?

I'm blown away by this, truly. I swear, the kids got out of school last week. And what have I done with my summer? #accurate Okay, that's not totally true. I mean, I've kept up with walking with the girls a few nights a week. I've done a couple 5Ks. I've made a few new …

A Day Late…

but FOODIE PEN PALS JULY!! I did intend to do this yesterday, but  my phone is giving me trouble about uploading pictures. So here we are! So the coolest thing happened with FPP this month. Last month, on posting day, I randomly clicked on one of the links and was brought to a blog. I …

And Here is How I’m Going to Get There

I've got a long way to go. I KNOW, don't focus on how far you have to go. And I'm  not, I swear. But, reality is that I have quite a journey ahead of me. And behind me, for that matter. Already, it's been full of bumps and ruts in the road. I don't see …

A Gain and a Loss

And neither of them make me happy. I've been off track for weeks. Letting exercise slip a little, letting diet slip a lot. I mean, my reasons are totally valid and all. It's been hot. I've been working a ton. I haven't had the time to do proper meal prep. My car made a funny …
