Remember yesterday when I did that cross training thing like they do on The Biggest Loser? A small reminder: I did it over and over yesterday. It didn’t seem like a big deal – at all. Like, I kept doing it over and over and over for the purpose of pictures while Bradley kept asking … [Read more…]
We headed to the track this morning. My daughter has made a goal to run at least two miles every week through the summer. Right now that means she runs once a week down at the track where she also plays parkour and practices her award winning jumps. Today we had the added bonuses of: … [Read more…]
Today was a summer test. How will it go if I wait until the evening to run in the summer? The answer? Not good. It will go sloooowww. It will be sweaty. It will make me want to dry heave. It will make me want to run very early in the morning. Good to know. … [Read more…]
Today marks 14 years of the best life I could ever imagine. Here’s to many many more healthy and happy years ahead! My true love marked the day with the prettiest handmade card. He made me a mermaid princess! Love love love him. ***Incidentally, my husband is also the man behind my banner art. It’s … [Read more…]
I guess by now I should know that these final weeks of school are, at best, insane for the average girl like me. Add to that huge projects like a class museum, making giant set pieces for our musical, taking down my classroom for summer while teaching and parenting and living life… Yeah. Phew.

I went to the doctors, got my antibiotics on. I went back to work today. Without really thinking about … [Read more…]
Yesterday I mentioned an interest in sharing my thinking about some of my strategies and thoughts on this whole weightloss project I’ve embarked on. From the beginning of my project (sorry, I just hate the word ‘journey’ for some reason) I decided that I wasn’t going to deny myself things. If I wanted a donut, … [Read more…]
I don’t quite understand what is happening with my body right now. I’m not pregnant (yes, I am certain, it is impossible thanks to my OB), but I’m days ‘late’ at this point and my body is acting like I’m in weightloss warrior week, completely skipping the misery of PMS and the aftermath. I’m not … [Read more…]
My husband, at his heaviest, was 240pounds. This morning this fact occurred to me- my husband and I now have shared a weight! Three- actually- 240, 239… I know that doesn’t seem like an amazing feat for some, but if you have ever been more than 100 pounds heavier than your spouse you understand that … [Read more…]
