Perspective

Perspective

I was standing in front of my Aunt and Uncle’s house and found comfort in this view. I took a deep breath and took off running. I processed and cleared my mind. 30 has been a difficult year for me. Not just because of my miscarriage, but because this is the year I’ve realized just … Continue reading

What The Scale Won’t Tell You

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

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

5k Epiphany

5k Epiphany

Here it is: I am no longer an athlete…but I will be one again. It’s incredible how quickly you lose it when you don’t train all the damn time. Wow! My morning started out GREAT! I’d lost 3.2lbs and felt back on track – finally. A sense of accomplishment and confidence overwhelmed me. I didn’t … Continue reading

“It made me feel weird.”

“It made me feel weird.”

My best friend read my This Is Part Of It post and told me it made her feel weird. Weird? Seriously. WTF? That was poetic and emotional and raw. Whatever. It didn’t settle well with me. Clearly. So, I pushed her and asked her why it made her feel weird.  She didn’t want to get into it, but … Continue reading

30 DOR Results!

30 DOR Results!

Well, my 30 days has come and gone. I ended up with 16/30 days. Basically half. Initially, I was mildly disappointed. Especially after having my goal to be 30/30. After a short lived disappointment, I stopped and realized that it also averaged out to be every other day – and that sounds a hell of a … Continue reading

FitBit Recall: Fail

FitBit Recall: Fail

Well shit, my FitBit is dead and they’re doing a recall – so I’m getting in on that. They’re doing the recall because of Skin Irritation. They’ve also taken these off of the shelves. That blows. My skin never once bothered me with the FitBit and I have ridiculously sensitive skin, or as I like … Continue reading

This is part of it

This is part of it

It started yesterday. I want to tell you this is easy. I want to tell you this is easy. I want to tell you this is easy. This has never been, and will never be easy. Weight loss. I want to tell myself the scale is not a reflection of who I am. I want … Continue reading

Progress, Not Perfection

Progress, Not Perfection

On Valentine’s Day my husband bought me the most beautiful roses and wrote me a love letter. It was the perfect gift. In his love letter he wrote about how proud of me he was for how I’ve handled our loss. How he recognizes the bond between mother and child is like none other. How … Continue reading
