Staying on track from a food perspective has been tricky these past few months. And I plan on getting that back in order just as soon as I can. Today will be a good day. Tomorrow will be a good day. Then I’ll have VACATION. This weekend I head off to a family reunion,...

I went for my second run this week. It’s still hot. But not nearly as hot as it was on Wednesday. Again, as I write this post it’s raining, which we’ve been told will bring in more scorching heat tomorrow, however short-lived. With the impending rain, it was humid again this morning too, but...

Since my hip issue, running has been really tough. I started back expecting to be able to pick up where I left off, because I would have liked to have been in today’s race, but my body was just not having any of it. Of course, the unbearable heat we’ve been having in the...

I went for an outside run this morning. 2.5 miles. Yay! I surprised myself, in a good way. It’s been pretty much a month since I’ve run anywhere other than the treadmill. And my treadmill runs have been pretty awful. Lots of walking. I think that’s a mental thing between me and the treadmill...

I finally caved a week ago and bought batteries for my scale. I really wanted to get a handle on the number these days. I gave it a good week off to try to get out of the mentality, but to no avail. I still need to see those numbers. But there was a...

I am a self-admitted scale junky. Not a day goes by where I don’t get on the scale first thing in the morning to see where the numbers are. Lately, I haven’t been too impressed with those numbers, as I’ve been struggling a little to stay on the right track with food. My birthday...

Yesterday morning when I came home from swimming, my husband yelled at me. “It’s 20 degrees out! Your hair is wet. What, are you trying to get sick?” Isn’t it sweet that he wants to take care of me? I reminded him that germs can’t live in the cold outside, and having a wet...

I started writing this post earlier from the perspective that the holidays derail us…on our diets, on our budgets, on whatever it is we are working on. The holidays (from Thanksgiving through New Year’s) give us a license to eat, to shop and to well, just put our feet up. When I started writing...

I’ve been a bad blogger girl. I’ve been a not-so-great fitness girl either. It’s been a hectic holiday season. But as of today, it’s over. Christmas has come and gone for one more year. When I signed on to my blog today, my weight tracker told me I hadn’t updated in 80 days. 80...
