I am not, nor will I possibly ever be an avid runner. But I know that I need to up the amount of cardio that I do (which, as of a few weeks ago was about the level of “My heartbeat speeds up when I watch a scary movie.”) and ever since I made the decision [...]

Guess what?! I weighed myself this morning and I am currently down 13.2 pounds in just under 3 weeks!! New Year’s Resolutions, FTW!!! (FTW = for the win. It took me a few minutes months to figure it out so I thought I would pass it along for those that didn’t know. It also stands for [...]

Last week after what seemed like 2-3 endless weeks of non-stop nomming on all kinds of deliciousness with work carry-ins, Christmas candy that my talented grandmothers made, Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon rolls on more than one occasion, huge breakfasts of biscuits and gravy, bacon, pancakes, casseroles & hash browns . . .

Lately, things have been a little trying. And by a little, I mean, I feel like we are robbing Phil to pay Steve to pay John to pay Peter to pay Paul. Money is one of those things that you can’t ever have enough of so it’s a stupid thing to fight about but it’s [...]

It’s pretty common knowledge that I’m not the most patient person on the planet (points for alliteration!). Sometimes, it’s a good thing because it motivates me to get things done. Like when I need to stick my foot up somebody’s ass. Other times, it’s something that I absolutely loathe about myself. Usually the kids’ shenanigans [...]

A month Two months ago I decided that I needed a break from dieting/healthy eating. Not a full-on, Imma-eat-everything-that-I-see kinda thing but I just needed . . . a break. I needed to not log every single bite of food I ate in my food journal. I needed to be able to eat with a little [...]

The rules are simple: start your piece with “I could have never imagined” and end it with “Then the whole world shifted”. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I could have never imagined what my life as a mom would be like.

Yesterday, for the first time in well, forever really, I used the last of a bottle of lotion. I really don’t know what my problem is, but I’ve never been able to use a bottle of lotion all the way to the end. I always have several bottles of lotion half-way used but either I [...]
