She told me that just 7 years ago she signed up for a triathlon on a dare, even though she hated swimming.   She is [...]

I absolutely cannot shop, much less try on clothes, with my 3 boys.   So whatever I need to pay in shipping, is well worth the amount of stress that I avoid!
Here are my favorite places to get workout clothes/equipment online:

August 16, 2010

Losing weight is hard. Yes, that may be the understatement of the year, but it’s still true. It’s a downright difficult process, which is why so many people struggle with their weight every day. I know this is true because I’ve seen them. And I used to be one. In fact, “used to” isn’t the [...]

Are you formerly hot?

August 13, 2010

I went to a wedding this past weekend and when I passed by a mirror on the wall I looked at my reflection and thought “I look so old and tired!”
There were tons of young female guests that were full of energy and life and YOUTH.  (loud sigh)
My kids have aged me,  a lot.  Someday [...]

Choose your actions wisely

August 6, 2010

I saw this tweet from Smashfit yesterday:

As we complain, people suffer.
As we gripe, people are in danger.
Keep your life in perspective.
Don’t let small problems shadow the beauty in your every day.

But then, I fell off the wagon.  I love the taste of that chemical cocktail, especially when I [...]
