Broken Bone Athlete

Yesterday was the day I once upon a time dreaded: my yearly physical. Ya’ll – it was awesome. I was informed that I have the blood pressure of an athlete. WHAT?! Me? (dear body, catch up.) At first I was panicking because I thought something had to have been wrong for it to be that … Continue reading

Screw Running

As I ran my 5 miles yesterday I thought about how much I hate running, I thought about how much I hate people that love running, I thought about how stupid running is, I yelled at every other runner I saw in my head…you get the drift. I hate running. I absolutely hate running. I … Continue reading

Nothing Pretty

The past week hasn’t had anything pretty in it ranging from the scale, to my training to the Boston Marathon. This past week was a nightmare for training and by nightmare I mean I didn’t train. I had a friend fly in from out of town and I used that as an excuse not to … Continue reading

A stress eating control freak….

I’m a type A personality.  When I email someone I expect a response within an hour if it’s in work hours. If I text someone don’t let me see the time stamp of when you read it and then the three little bubbles and then you never said anything.  I hate wishy washiness and I … Continue reading

Baking Bunny Butts

I’m a sucker for alliteration. No lie. Easter came and went, but if there is an excuse for me to bake, – you betta believe I’m on it. I did a 4 layer vanilla cake with alternating pink and purple layers. The frosting is a butter cream and the grass/flowers are a marshmallow fondant I … Continue reading

35%

My official weigh in at WW on Saturday morning was 211.00. That is 35% of my highest weight lost forever. 35% – that is insane.   My first goal is to hit 199 (obviously) but I am ultimately looking to reach 175lbs as my goal weight and then focus on muscle/lifting/toning. I know for a … Continue reading

Organic Vitamins

I’ve been exhausted lately, so in order to bump up my energy levels (considering my training will only get longer and more intense) I’ve also bumped up my vitamins. I was only taking a daily multi vitamin. So, Sunday I went to Target and did some research on my phone while I browsed vitamins. With … Continue reading

Compliments

Anyone that does triathlons will tell you, we like to talk about them. We can find a way to sneak triathlons into nearly every conversation. A question as simple as, “Hey, wanna see a movie this weekend?” can get a reply of, “Oh sorry – can’t. I’ve got to get a brick in this weekend. … Continue reading

42 Miler

Sometimes I think I’m crazy. Like I don’t even know who I am anymore. It’s really interesting when I rewind where I was even last year versus where I am now. I am not the same person. I can’t help but laugh at the differences. Last year my husband asked me to do a bike ride … Continue reading

STOP

And put on your “judgement free” hat before you continue reading this. Seriously, I just had the worst, pretentious, lunk moment. So, stop. I don’t want any of these judgy, pissed off faces reading – including your dog… (I also understand if you defriend me…I’m so sorry…) But seriously, none of this… I had just … Continue reading
