Update

I wanted to run today. I really did. But came down with the flu and it is turning out to be the flu that just won’t let go. That, and we had sleet all day today. I think I’ll give the running a miss for another day or so and if the weather doesn’t improve [...]

New Low and Exercise Update

Got on the scale this morning. 173.4 lbs.  Whoa! Part of me is kinda sorta thinking it is because I haven’t really been exercising as much and so maybe losing some muscle but I’m still not gonna be too sad. Food and me are getting along way way good right now so that could be [...]

WOW

For some reason, I broke into the ugly cry by the end of this video clip. It got me that much. Wonderful!
NOT that I have Iron dreams or anything I mean I don’t own a bike and can’t really swim apart from a dog paddle but… I think anyone that has physically pushed themselves past [...]

Yummy Yummy

So here I what I cooked up for myself this eve. I can’t remember the last time I actually used a recipe for cooking so I’ll just tell you what I did.

The title of this post is what I’ve been thinking about the last few days since my recent meltdown. I believe in both of these things, not in sense that I know they are out there but I mean I think that moderation and consistency are powerful powerful tools.

Back in the Game

The first thing I need to do is thank some people by name. You guys with [...]

Post Without a Name

So lately I’ve been thinking big, pushing bigger and now I’m sitting here after a total grad student burn-out inducing week and I know that something needs to give. This totally isn’t going how I want it to and by IT I kind of mean my whole life. It just isn’t sustainable this way. I’ve [...]

Six Word Running Memoir

Seems a little strange to have a memoir for my running life since I have only been running since the end of April and lately there has been much to little running in my life. That said, I’ve been all out of sorts lately and one of the biggest trends I’ve noticed is that when [...]

Yawn

I tried to stay up to watch the olympics opening ceremony. I really did but I just can’t… time for sleep. I wish there wasn’t such a time difference this whole bed time thing makes me feel old.

Better Today

I’m happy to report that so far, today is going a little better. I got more sleep and just got back from a nice walk with my dog. The sun is shining and as soon as I eat some breakfast I’m heading out the door to walk to work. I’m still feeling bad about not [...]
