New Running Tights

You can always tell when Bradley thinks I’m extra cute. As I’m running he scampers around and dashes ahead, falls behind and makes appreciative comments all while snapping pictures. I get a huge self esteem boost and awesome pictures for my blog! Sometimes I wonder what the people in cars are thinking though. Ha ha! … [Read more…]

Bright

Seriously. While I was running down the road today I snapped just six quick pictures and just assumed I’d look presentable in one of them. It cracks me up to look at these! Ha ha! I’m happy to report, though, that I’m continuing to beat my personal records for times! 🙂 *** I’ve taken up … [Read more…]

Belted

I’m all celebratory now. I’m so very happy to have met my goal. I’m kinda walking around in a daze… I loved my outfit today. Wanna know why? Because I actually tucked my shirt in and wore a belt. The belt was not covered up with an extra puffy shirt or a folded over belly. … [Read more…]

She Did It!

I did it! I did it! Funny how just last night I was feeling all guilty about possibly wearing the boots prematurely. Then I hopped on the scale this morning and saw 225. For a second I even saw 224.6, so I decided that its good enough for me. I met my goal! Woot woot! … [Read more…]

Fangirl

1. Tonight I met Brittany Gibbons. You might remember her from my bikini post where I referenced her ad nauseam. (I’m not going to give you the link- go dig.). She is beautiful (yes, as pretty in person. I KNOW!) and an advocate for the curvy girls. Aside from that? Funny and our kids share … [Read more…]

Rain, Rain

Today was a three mile loop with the kids to the store and back. We had just gotten dressed and ready to go when the clouds burst overhead. We waited fifteen minutes or so until the deluge settled into a downpour, then we headed out. Jude was decked out in his Spider-Man rain boots so … [Read more…]

Scale Problems

The funny moment, when I got on the scale, saw that number, and got off in disbelief. Weighed myself again, same number. “Bradley? I think there’s something wrong with the scale. Would you come weigh yourself?” He does. It’s his correct weight. Again, I get on and see that same number again. Hop back off, … [Read more…]

Fry Guy No More

When one becomes a vegetarian they hear tales about how you should never go back to eating meat- the stomach pains alone will kill you once that first morsel of animal hits your belly. I’ve been vegetarian pretty much since I was 15. I’ve had brief sojourns as a carnivore- when traveling abroad mostly- but … [Read more…]

More Running… And Other Stuff.

Today we ran. Running is becoming that thing again- just an after work habit. Just one more thing in my repertoire. The best thing of late is that I’m killing my times. Yesterday I had my best ever time on Big Loop (1.4 miles) and today I had my third best time. Woot woot! My … [Read more…]

SQUIRREL!

Today as I was running there were animals everywhere- cats, squirrels, rabbits… Methinks autumn hath arriveth. Or something like that. The animals all were full of hustle bustle of epic proportions, as if winter is next week! I saw two cats chilling in the road. Right in the middle like no cars ever drive there. … [Read more…]
