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. 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 can’t tell you how many times I’ve deleted this and then retyped it. Mental Health is such a hard topic to write about. It’s taboo. It’s scary. It’s the unknown.

Not just because of my miscarriage, but because this is the year I’ve realized just … Continue reading
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
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
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
Alright y’all. I adapted this recipe into a Weight Watchers Friendly/Sugar Free Clean Eating Muffin Recipe and I cannot complain. The original is equally as delicious – I was just looking for a way to reduce the points! I took it from 4pts a slice of bread to 3 points a big muffin. These are BEST … Continue reading
Damn girl, that's a lot of fattitude
