Crossroads

I feel like I’m floundering in my own little corner of the blog world.
I haven’t been very interested in posting lately.  I am hitting “Mark as Read” in my Google Reader more often than I want.  I have officially become a lurker.
I don’t have much to say on Twitter.  Facebook seems a little crazy right [...]

Not what I expected

One week with no blogging, Twittering, or Facebooking and very limited e-mailing is not at all what I expected.
I thought I would have more free time.
I thought I would have my to-do list knocked at by noon.
I thought I would exercise every day.
I thought I would get through at least one book.
I thought I would [...]

Better late than never?

That crazy internet addiction is rearing it’s ugly head again!
I had every intention of participating in TV Turnoff Week in September by turning off my computer for a whole week, but I guess I was too busy playing online solitaire to actually put it on my blogging calendar.
So, except for businessy type stuff,  I’m stepping [...]

Stained Glass

Yesterday, I had a day.
I was grumpy literally from the moment I rolled out of bed and pretty much stayed that way until late into the evening.  We were busy all day long and I felt like I never really had a chance to catch my breath. I was short with Dave, yelled at Jacob, [...]

On the horizon

I have not worked outside the home since before Jake was born.  I have a vague memory of working while I was pregnant with him, so that puts my last job about 7 years ago.
It’s always been in the game plan that I would return back to work once both kids were in school full [...]

(Nearly) Daily Medicine

I’m a very big fan of sleeping, even if I’m not so good at actually going to bed at a decent hour.  I’ve always been a night owl, staying up far later than was probably healthy.
I still do it today, even knowing that I have wee ones that are counting on me in the morning.  [...]

Active

I’m not entirely sure I’ve ever had a more active than we ALL had this weekend.
It all started on Saturday morning. I had my 2nd 5k which means we all had to be up and out the door by 8am. On a Saturday. YAY!
I had a goal of coming in under 35:00. [...]

Fitness Friday

I am in a workout zone.  I’m really proud of the way I’ve been following through with what I’ve set up with so far.
While we were in Virginia Beach last week, I took a walk every day.  I even did some running while we were there.  Jake was like my own little reminder service.  All [...]

Fitness Friday

I have become very goal oriented.  I mean, I’ve been making a lot of goals.
Achieving them?  That’s a whole nother post.
Anyway…here’s what I have coming up:

Along with Denise and others, I’m participating in the Pushing the Limits 2009 challenge.  That’s 100 pushups by July 31st.  We’re using the 100 Pushups program.  I just did Week [...]

Sisters Weigh In

Despite consuming 3/4 of a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos earlier this week (that was a fun dinner!) I still managed to lose a pound this week.
Unfortunately, that brings me back to my starting weight of 157.
5 weeks and nothing to show for it.  Go me!
Aside from the unfortunate Doritos incident, I really have [...]
