I’m tired. Over the past few weeks we’ve been going at breakneck speed trying to pack the most fun we can in the remainder of the summer. We’ve also been trying to exercise a lot. Like, a lot. I wanted to make sure Bradley saw me using our new equipment often enough to make it … [Read more…]
Mmmkay. So, I’m not on the wagon very much right now. Right now I’m exercising plenty. I’m serious! I was on the elliptical for an hour today, still doing the weights (yeah, Bowflex!) and I’m running pretty much every day. But my food? Laws have mercy! It’s not that I’m doing that bad even, if … [Read more…]
A few weeks ago I let it drop that for my birthday I’d like to turn our garage into a gym with a treadmill. Maybe some other machine too, but after all this heat this summer my nice, cool garage on at 85 degree run day sounded really nice. I was planning ahead. My darling … [Read more…]

I keep thinking I need to write something for my blog… But then I keep not writing anything for my blog. Funny like that, eh? Frankly, I’m in the throes of summer. The weather is hot, I’m sweaty, a little sleepy and am just not into doing much in the way of running. It’s hot … [Read more…]
I don’t make a habit of doing this kind of stuff- the lists of factoids that circulate on social media, but I was reading over at fat chick 2 fit chick today and she posted this. I was fascinated to read about her so I decided to add this to my own blog. Perhaps some … [Read more…]
Running today was super awesome with a side of awesome sauce fo-sho! I spend a good amount of time on Hulu passively watching shows like The Biggest Loser and Extreme Makeover: Weightloss Edition (EM:WE) I’m aware that their practices are not always the best for losing weight ‘right’, but I think they must know something … [Read more…]
We headed to Idaho this weekend to hang with my Mama since my dad went to catch their year’s worth of salmon in British Columbia over the past few weeks. Just like in Oregon, I made a plan to keep on keeping on with the running and eating and general heathy choices. My Color Me … [Read more…]
