Happy Wednesday from the Outer Banks! Since arriving down here in OBX, I’m actually pretty pleased with the amount of exercise I’ve squeezed in. Before leaving, I told myself I wasn’t going to go out of my way for exercise; if I was in the mood for it, great. If not, no big deal. Well this morning, ...
Have You Caught On Yet?
Alright. So in case you haven’t noticed, I’ve secretly been giving you all hints lately. I can be pretty good at dropping them from time to time. You know… I needed some new summer clothes… I tried to avoid doing any grocery shopping this week… I’ve had lots of “to-do” lists ...
One Of The Benefits
One of the (many!) benefits of having my own blog is that I have SO many memories to look back on. While I’ve always enjoyed browsing through old posts here and there, I’ve recently took a liking to re-reading the posts that I wrote on the same day, but from the previous year. It’s not only fun to ...
Ask And You Shall Receive
Alright, I got my iced coffee mid-morning…a mix of my two favorite flavors no less. Yes, all is right in the world. Unfortunately, someone couldn’t help himself from dive bombing my photo… Talk about high maintenance. By the time lunch rolled around, I really wasn’t interested ...
Zonked Out
I can happily say that this is the fourth week now that I’ve been dragging my butt out of bed at 5am on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to hit up my beloved BodyPump class. In these past few weeks of pre-sunrise gym time, there has not been one day where I haven’t felt totally energized and full of ...
Uncontrollable Belly Laughs
I know I already said it, but yesterday was a really, really good day. As I was going to bed last night, I couldn’t help but keep the ear-to-ear smile plastered on my sleepy face because I was just that happy. To say that Jay and I have been under some added stress lately would be an understatement. ...
I’ll Betcha Didn’t Know…
You know, despite it being such a gloomy day, I have been in one of the best moods today! Mid-afternoon, I started getting a bit hungry, so I made myself a small lunch. I kept it small because breakfast was consumed later than normal, and dinner was only a few hours away. And I really wasn’t in the ...
Early 90s Fashion Trends
Happy Fashion Friday! Today’s Topic: Early 90s Fashion Trends That’s right! We’re going to have some fun with this one! Earlier today, I was flipping through the channels and happened to come across an old episode of Saved By the Bell. Loved that show, by the way. The clothes on Kelly ...
Confession…
Confession: Sometimes, I’m not the brightest bulb in the box. I know. It’s surprising, isn’t it? For example, when I spend an entire morning painting in the glaring sunshine…sans sunscreen. (That picture there is two days after the fact…you should have seen it on Tuesday.) Or like when I went to ...
How I Became a Runner
Today was the day… I officially started my training for the Boilermaker 15K! I’m so glad that Tina introduced me to SmartCoach, which is where I put together this exact plan. The site is awesome, and if you’re looking for a plan of your own, it’s definitely worth checking out. **Does ...
