Its that time again…….. I am dedicating myself to 20 Bikram Yoga classes in 30 days. That is 30 hours of heat, stretching, and pure yoga goodness. For those not familiar with Bikram Yoga: It is a series of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises designed as a “moving meditation” to heal your body inside [...]

Since Monday was a holiday that meant no work for me. It also meant it was time to get out and do my long run for the week. On deck this week was 8 miles. Yes, 8 miles at my current weight is a bit difficult and by a bit I mean very. It’s uncomfortable [...]

In less than 72 hours I’ll be weighing in at Weight Watchers and jump-starting my 365 days to a fitter (and happier) me. So what does one do in their last 72 hours of freedom? Some might indulge in favorite treats or “last meals” but I kind of don’t believe in that. I think that [...]
After the Disney Wine and Dine 1/2 Marathon I swore I would NEVER do another 1/2 marathon. I was emotionally and physically exhausted from the race and sort of fell out of love with running. Even though the outcome was a happy one, I simply felt “done” after this experience. However, after a few weeks [...]
Cheer 1: My New Netbook. After work the hubs and I were running errands and moseyed into Best-Buy. We had talked about getting a netbook for traveling purposes (plus I had total netbook envy in Chicago!) and while I was in LOVE with a pink one by HP the hubs was trying to get me [...]

For once our big Sunday workout plans, well, worked out. The hubs and I got up bright and early for some running and cycling. For those of you who read my blog often you might be thinking “She bikes/cycles?” And the answer to that is no, at least I haven’t been. I bought a bike [...]

Besides being a fantastic U2 song it was also kind of the theme of my day. Yesterday I planned to blog but things got so hectic I completely spaced. The highlight of my day yesterday was certainly my visit to see the hair guru Caleb. I am rocking the Snow White look here. Maybe I [...]

So this morning Bryan and I were scheduled to run the AEP Festival in The Park race in Roanoke, Va. There was a 10K and 5K option which I always enjoy. As some of my regular visitors may know, I live about an hour from Roanoke (and these races start early) so time is of [...]

Today was another bright and beautiful day in Virginia for the most part. It would have been a great day to run, play disc golf, or do other various outdoorsy type things. However, the hubs and I decided since we are pretty much committed to something for at least the next month’s worth of weekends [...]

Three cheers for getting this house back in order today! I am so excited to show off the new bedroom so that is what I am going to do. There are a couple of items missing but I’ll explain as we go along. Bryan and I had tons of old mismatched hand-me-down pieces which I [...]
