Cobwebs, flat tires, and my wraps that desperately need to be re-wrapped. What is the PSI again? How does this pump work? KEEEEVVVVIIIINNNN. ‘MERGENCY!!! He gets off a conference call and comes to my aid. My bike rack needs to be put back on. How do I do that again? Apparently by breaking a nail and trying … Continue reading

Do What You Love and Love What You Do
I like coffee and I really like cream. I like a lot of cream in a good cup of coffee. As I was measuring my almond milk and pouring it into my coffee this morning I thought to myself, “This sucks. I don’t even like this shit.” Almond milk in coffee sucks. It just sucks. The taste sucks. The … Continue reading
Kagels and My Old Love
Physical Therapy has certainly gotten inside of my head. For the last year or so (holy shit – yes, an entire year), I have clearly had mental issues with exercise. When I can exercise all I want I have ZERO interest in actually doing it. It sounds terrible. It sounds hot and sweaty and gross. … Continue reading
Physical Therapy
No running. All I heard was no running. No. No. No running. PT: I don’t want you running until your back is healed. Me: What about on a treadmill? PT: No. Me: What about a speedy walk? PT: No. In fact, I don’t really even want you walking up big hills. Me: What about on grass? … Continue reading
Bourbon and Barbells
Bourbon and barbells. It has a ring, right? I’ve started doing weights without drinking, too! I know, I know. It’s terrible. No, not that I stopped drinking while doing weights, but that I’d become a cardio queen. Looking back, it really would have helped my cycling times in the Triathlons. I do at some point plan … Continue reading
My Favorite YouTube Workouts!
Alright, y’all! Kevin is going out of town on business for a week, and the rain is suppose to be moving in here. Which really means I now have a thousand excuses to curl into a ball on the couch, snuggle with my kitties and binge watch Trash TV. Alas, I have vowed to … Continue reading
What The Scale Won’t Tell You
The scale won’t tell you that I went grocery shopping on Friday to set myself up for success. The scale won’t tell you that I came home from a long day of work on Friday and went for a run and was able to run up one of the hills that always leaves me panting … Continue reading
Pics Or It Didn’t Happen
If you’re a 90s kid, you know what I’m talking about with “pics or it didn’t happen.” Well, it did happen. 4 times in fact. AND, four days ago, I wrote a post about getting my training life together and how much better I feel when I do. Since then, I’ve ran 4 times. I … Continue reading
A Separation of Fitness and Food
As I’m reading Intuitive Eating, 3rd Edition cover to cover I’m falling more and more in love with it. Today has been successful with food. I found out my Grandma passed away in the night shortly before 8am. The first thing I wanted to do was eat, but I asked myself if I was hungry … Continue reading
Project 30 Days: Get Your Shit Together
I ate too much and drank too much this weekend. Friday night I baked a cake I was catering for a surprise 30th birthday. Yes, I also bake. (I’ll post pics when I get them back.) After finishing my cake we promptly walked to the bar and met up with friends. Hey – we walked … Continue reading
