Well, the weather has FINALLY warmed up enough in Ohio to enjoy a little outdoor walk. It is sunny and warm, the weekend is here, and I just got in a 3.5 mile walk! It was so nice to get out in the sunshine, to feel the warmth on my skin, and to catch up with a friend. (Too bad when I got home I was so hungry that I was grouchy and snapped at the husband...guess I need to work on that!) The plan for tomorrow is zumba and then straight to the park for another walk. We have to take advantage of th… Continue

I've been looking for an object to use as an anchor for a while. Something tangible that I could use to bind my intentions with my actions. Today I found it!!! My mum and sister went to the Olympics in Vancouver and brought me back a coat. It had a zipper pull on it with an Inukshuk and the Olympic rings. (I found a picture of it - below.) When I put the coat on today I saw it and it just made sense. I attached it to my hair elastics that are always on my wrist or in my hair. Here… Continue

Well after a week of setbacks with running, I got back out there and tried once again. I wasn't planning on running today, but it was beautiful outside...77 & sunny and my hubby agreed to go with me...so off we went. I wanted to try to do Day 3 of Week 6 in the C25K program which was 25 minutes of running without walking. I was a little doubtful after this past week, but guess what? I did it! I made it all the way, plus ran up 2 hills. I felt great afterwards and my side cramps only start

I'm kicking the urge to sit on the couch for the rest of the afternoon and do nothing. This is my "spring break" right now and I need to go out and enjoy it! (My spring break is getting today off. That's it. I know, it sucks.) I've already cleaned up the mess of a living room--what I get for hardly being home and the hubby being in charge of the mail. I swear, how in the world does it end up covering the entire coffee table AND the computer desk? Why is he not capable of throwing it away??… Continue

Since last May I have put on about 15 lbs. I am not seeing this a tragic since I know the reasons why and I know that I can correct it. I just have not had any motivation. I have tried joining a Greatest Loser contest at the gym, a weight loss contest at work. Nothing is working for me right now. Not sure why but I really need to just do it.

About a year ago, I found the cutest pair of jeans. I wore them once and they looked great, then I started putting on the weight. I am goi

Well I am almost 18 wks now, hoping to find out the gender on Monday. I have been in OK working for the past 2 weeks and have one more week to go, so ready to be back in TX!!! I still haven't gained any weight, the vomiting has slowed down quite a bit thankfully. I am so ready to get on track after the baby is born! We started cleaning out what will be the baby's room, we have so much to do!
