HOLY COW! I did it.. I freakin’ did it. I have 10 little short months to prepare for… ya ready… [Read more →]

Most of you know my workout history, right? I mention it on my Workout Progress page (which I’m not updating as much as I should). It’s a very summarized version of my personal workout history but if you look at a stream of old posts since starting this blog you’ll get a pretty good picture of my progression these last 3 years.

Ok, this is a TOTAL brag post. Even though I’m running out of time to pack for Chicago I HAD to take 10 minute to tell you all that I DID IT! I reached a goal! I DID A PULL UP!! I can NOT believe it! What you say? You cant either? Well… I have proof! (thank God for trainers with tricked out phones!) … [Read more →]

Really, I’m not kidding, there aren’t. I realize I’m telling this to those who probably know but it needs to be said aloud. I feel compelled to tell you… [Read more →]

I did it! This morning was the Baltimore Running Festival and I did my 6 mile relay. It was the longest I ever ran and I loved every minute of it!

Don’t get me wrong, about 4 miles into it I was playing mind games with myself and I started to question if I could do it. But then I’d see a family on the side of the road cheering on their mom or a couple on their stoop watching the race and I’d smile. It didn’t matter that the signs weren’t for me I was there, running, part of it, part of the event and that felt AMAZING. Addictive even.

I FINALLY finished a chapter in my cookbook today. I can’t believe it. Only 4 more to go! Ugh! Why didn’t anyone tell me how time consuming it was going to be! I have to admit though, it’s fun. [Read more →]

Remember how confident and cocky I was when I posted the weekend quote. Yea, well, I sure enjoyed myself this weekend. I enjoyed the stuffed shells, fresh Italian Bread, Chocolate Cheesecake, meatballs, pizza a-n-d ice cream. Mixed in with all the indiscretions was a lot of healthy stuff too, whole wheat pancakes, papaya smoothie, salmon, a ton of veggies and more then my fair share of water.

First the run, only for the pure fact that I’m ecstatic about it and I just ran (no pun intended) out of time last night to tell you all!

WOW! I mean, I signed up for the relay knowing that I’d have to run 6 miles but I never really thought of actually running it and now that I accomplished 5, I KNOW I can do 6. I’m getting much more confident! [Read more →]

Call me crazy. Go ahead, but man I feel great! Two boot camps, a weight training session and I climbed the wall, twice (once alone and then again after the toddler asked if he could watch.)

The real wacky part of this… [Read more →]
