I Am a Skinny Woman in Exile -Friday

Somewhere underneath all of the stored up doughnuts and chocolate that I have injested, the Coca Cola I’ve guzzled and the greasy pizzas I’ve consumed, there is a thin marathon runner screaming to be let out of her self-imposed prison.

I have always known she is there, but I have kept her stifled under years and [...]

Two Easy Ways to Help Haiti

I thought and thought last night about how my voice, through this blog, could make the greatest impact to help those suffering in Haiti.

I know that we are all shocked and saddened by the devastation we see reported from Haiti. One of the greatest qualities of the American people is our giving and generous spirits. [...]

Defining “Beautiful”

I have been formulating my feelings about true beauty for probably the whole of my lifetime. As a woman, I think we are conscious of perceived beauty from the time our loved ones dress us in frilly dresses and hair bows. The interesting thing is that as each of us ages and becomes exposed to [...]

Doughnut Dilemma

Wow am I ever mad.

At myself.

I have suddenly gained a few pounds and I am not happy about it one bit.

It doesn’t take a nutritionist to know how or why. I can easily tell you why. More input equals poundage. The input? Doughnuts at work are a MAJOR culprit.

I freely admit to having LITTLE to [...]

Out of the Blue!

I always feel the need to think seriously, pragmatically, responsibly-if you will, in all situations. Maybe it is a result of having WAY too much irresponsible fun in my 20s or that as a Mom, I see everything through different (panicked!) eyes.

It’s gonna stop- well, somewhat…

I need to have some fun, to cut loose [...]

Right On!

“Feed Yourself Good Things”

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about [...]

Vicks and Lysol

I have been down sick for the past few days. Last week Friday, I remember waking up with a sore throat. It went away and I was fine over the weekend. Come Monday, I felt kinda bad. Like a cold was coming on…

By Tuesday it was a full blown cold and I was miserable. Despite [...]

Sunday's Update

I think fall has officially arrived. Mother Nature toyed with the idea of cooler temperatures and rain for a few weeks in September, but changed her mind and continued with the heat that I seem to have become accustomed to. Now, October has started as a dreary, drizzly mess that I can only assume is [...]

A Calorie Counting Realization

Ever since I can remember, I have heard zillions upon ZILLIONS of nutrition and weight-loss gurus ALL talk about keeping a Food Log. Every single person over the years has spouted great claims about people really having a wake-up call to what they are shoveling in their mouths, only after keeping a thorough inventory.

Of course, [...]

Clumsy Girl Survives Treadmill Crash! 1/10/2008

Originally posted on old site: 1/10/2008

Since starting to post about my workout plan, a lot of people have made mention of my method for running because I run on the treadmill. This doesn’t seem odd at face-value until you learn that I live on a large ranch. I have beautiful countryside as my path, and [...]
