I just keep getting shocked. When considering my body, I just can’t believe what a slacker I have been my whole life! It’s funny to think how little priority I’ve given to my stomach muscles, in particular. I thought having a flat stomach was the only reason one would bother to work their abs. It … [Read more…]
Today my husband had a late afternoon job to do so I was left with a rare night alone with my kids. The weather was gorgeous, so we headed outdoors to take in our share of the sunshine. My whole family is working together towards being healthy and active. My daughter takes right to fitness … [Read more…]
I gotta crow! I have reached a huge milestone! After years and years and years of being a heavy girl, I have finally reached a ‘big girl’ number! Today I stepped on the scale and was shocked to see that I went from 254 on Jude’s birthday weekend, to 250! It is the number I … [Read more…]
I have been sick. Like, the kind of sick that’s all up in your sinuses and makes you sneeze about 4000 times a day and makes your eyes run all -the -time- kind of sick! I will usually teach through most colds, but I can’t do it through laryngitis and I won’t do it with … [Read more…]
I finally am admitting it- I’m sick. Like eye watering, sneezing every 20 minutes, coughing like crazy sick. My husband just told me that I keep acting like I’m not sick, but that I am! He said I’m sensitive and cranky. I agree. I hate being sick. Grrr. But I still have positive news. I … [Read more…]

After that it was retail therapy and nail painting. I’m not saying I’m the best at painting my stubby, little nails, … [Read more…]
I was not a fan of that song. It did make me feel insane. And that is exactly what this week has felt like! Sheesh! I thought I was going for the payout of, “After Jude’s birthday we’ll have some downtime…” But I had open house last night and after Tuesday’s festivities, I just had … [Read more…]
This is really weird. The not working out. And I’m not trying to be all hyperbolic about it or anything… It’s just, well, scary. And I see the importance of my mindset. When I am exercising, I am keeping the entire goal in my head. When I am taking a break from exercising, it seems, … [Read more…]
Last night I was tucking my four-year-old in for the last time ever (coz he’s five today, y’all!) and I reached across him to begin the computer playing his lullaby music. I was wearing a tank top and Jude stopped me suddenly and asked, “What is that squishy thing?!” I stopped, what squishy thing? Squishy … [Read more…]
