I feel like I have boiled down everyone I know down to a one-word description. I am tired, and things are grating on me right now, so I do not want to be wordy. Example - I had some foster kittens recently, and one of them was adorable, but out of control, I just call… Continue reading One Word

Wine

On this journey, I have enlisted the help of Weight Watchers.  It seems like a reasonable way to get help.  All it asks you to do is pay attention to what you eat and exercise.  Since this is what I am trying to do, and the online price has come down considerably, I am giving… Continue reading Wine

Give me a break! Or not…

I have used this little bit of advice in my blog before; but it bears repeating.  Giving up is NOT a good idea, changing your course, changing your method, changing what you are trying to accomplish are OK, but giving up is not. I took a break from my workout routine for the past couple… Continue reading Give me a break! Or not…

For the next 21-days I will exercise every day, blog every day, and track… Continue reading 21 Days huh?

Be a Crafty Runner

So this weekend I ran my first race since the Half in Disney, and it was my birthday, and I got Bon Jovi tickets, and yesterday (Monday) was National Napping Day (which I celebrated in style).

Will Run for Tattoos

Well, I will not run for tattoos, I have a horrific fear of needles; just listening to my daughter get this tattoo gave me chills. Completing this half marathon is a big deal for me, my daughter, and many women I have met along the way; I think we all want to reward ourselves in… Continue reading Will Run for Tattoos

Fanny Packs and other things that inspire you

Today I did my five-mile run/walk on the river; I did five miles and it took about 70 minutes, about a 14:00 minute mile, considering the air quality was awful and humidity had to be 186% I was happy with it. Before I finish this inspiring message, I have to tell you about my conversation this… Continue reading Fanny Packs and other things that inspire you
