  • Crab Walking

    I could not stop eating yesterday –and not in a good way. I think it’s the week before that time of the month and all hell breaks loose in my body. It’s so odd because it’s like my mind totally loses any control and all rational thinking about nutrition goes out the window. It was…

  • A Quality food challenge

    Quality food challenge from http://lift-run-bang.com Make a list of foods you will allow yourself to eat. They should all be quality foods. I don’t care what “diet” you choose, just pick quality foods. I think we all know that fast food and processed shit isn’t quality, before all the comedians weigh in.  Everyday, you’re allowed to…

  • Perspective and Perception

    This is such an important quote to take to heart. I have been around some people that inspire me to be better, to want to work harder and I have been around people that suck the wind out of you – and drag you down. Sometimes this can be one and same the person at…

  • Busy Busy Day

     I took the day off to take Hannah to the orthopedist to have her wrist looked at — well she is now in an arm cast. I am sure the novelty of it all will wear off in a day or so. It will be a long four weeks for my baby. Today was a…

  • Resetting It All

    Yesterday – after the rant here I actually took some steps to fix some of the stuff that has been out of balance and I feel better about some of it.  It doesn’t fix it but holding your feelings inside isn’t healthy either — so I got some stuff off my chest and I feel…

  • Getting Back On The Horse

    I’m back and I wish I could say I felt refreshed and raring to go this Monday –but I don’t.  The last few weeks I have felt seriously run down and all I have wanted to do is stay under the covers in my bed and sleep.  I honestly don’t think I have felt this…
