Snap Back to Reality (Oh There Goes Gravity)
Glad I took today off too in order to recoop from my trip & get my ducks all in a row. Yesterday went MUCH better eating & exercise-wise, as we made our way back from our lovely weekend. (And by that I mean - I ate a LOT less and worked out at the Y with LDH when we got back.) But today I need to really get back in the swing of things. Started off my day by sleeping in (so needed) and a...

Credit Card Itch
So as I am getting all my finances in order for my trip to Baltimore & Washington, DC this weekend - I thought, “God, I wish I had a credit card I could use on this trip…” I hate all of the clothes I currently own and I hate feeling limited on the income I currently have. I want to buy fun things and drink myself silly — not worried about the bar tab at the end of the...

Three Months til 5 K!
Today — March 22nd — is a big day. It is officially 3 months from my first (Do Life!) 5K in Washington, DC and I am SO excited about all the progress that will be made between now and then! The weather is warming up too and I’m just… so happy about that I can’t even tell you!* Plus after my first run with Anastasia on Saturday, I really felt inspired to keep running...

Personal Training Session
After my time in West Virginia had come to a close, I headed on back to PA to meet for my (free) personal training consult. Our gym has always offered them, but I never took advantage until Jenn and I were chatting with one of the trainers last week and he convinced us to sign up. So sign-up I did. As did Jenn, but she was too busy being hungover on Saturday to make her appointment… unlike...

March 15th Weigh-in Day
I woke up this morning bracing myself for my weigh-in. My body felt RIDICULOUSLY sore from last night’s training session (more on that later) and I knew I had worked out hard the past few weeks and had done pretty good eating-wise (except for the burrito-madness and the piece of coworker’s birthday cake… Oops.) I felt my workouts should have made up for what I did in those cases?...

Tonight, even tho I will be sleeping on a sofa bed that will surely break my back by morning - I’m soaking in the moment that is happening right now. We’ve just celebrated Gage’s 6th birthday party today. I’ve spent my whole Saturday wrapped up in the awesomeness of this boy and West Virginia and how beautiful the day was… sunshine and blue skies everywhere. It is as...

Willpower > Starbucks Petites
You can definitely tell that I am starting to get nervous about weighing in on Tuesday. ALL. DAY. LONG. I have been prepping my coworkers to go over to Starbucks during their happy hour special today from 2-5 so we could each get a free Starbucks Petite with our drink of choice. ALL. DAY. LONG. I have nagged them endlessly about going. See? Don’t they look delicious? OmgyesIwant. But right...

Strength Training/Weight Training Workout Days..
…are hands down my favorite workout days. I had the best time tonight with My Original Gym Buddy at the gym. We did roughly an hour & 45 minutes of weight machines and lunges and squats and everything else that could make us into GINORMOUSLY BUFF WOAH-MANS! My body is already incredibly sore. Should be fun trying to wake up tomorrow, that’s for sure. In other random news, I have...

Public Service Announcement
Just because it’s the end of a work day on a BEAUTIFUL (yet cold) Monday… and you’re almost to your car & have that “la-de-da!” skip in your step and are taking in how pretty the river looks and the bridges and everything else you can see from the top floor of the parking garage you scored a spot at, which happens to be RIGHT around the corner from where you...

Oops. I Did It Again.
I have a confession to make. I love Mexican food. So much… it’s embarrassing. I actually think it classifies as an addiction. I just don’t know how to say no. I need it all the time and pretty much never stop craving it. If I had to pick a FAVORITE food… it would most likely be Mexican. (With a tie or very-close-second to sushi!) After my most recent visit to Arizona (See:...

Omg. I can’t believe it.
There. Over there.

I did it.
My weight. Out there. In the world. For everyone to see. (That is, everyone in the world to see if you’re viewing my ACTUAL tumblr page and not just viewing the feed. And by “everyone in the world” I mean – “people who don’t really know me and could care less anyway” …..or “my most trusted circle...

Question of the Day!
Question: What do you eat for dinner when its 10:30 at night and you’ve already had 26 of your 29 points for the day?* Answer: 3 egg whites (1 point), honey goat cheese (2 points) and grilled eggplant (0 points.)** Now… I’m off to cry my face off at this week’s episode of the Biggest Loser. Cause you know - those “home visits” always get to me. *Damn Girl Scout...
Plan Changer
Sooo. Ridiculously. Tired. Last. Night. Physically. My body was still sore from the 5 days in a row… So I skipped. But have no fear. I’ve just swamped Monday’s planned workout with Saturday night’s planned off night. It will be rushed & it will be annoying to fit in, but I really needed last night to just be home and enjoy the quiet. I even napped. AND went to bed...
