Funk
Some kind of bug has invaded my body, my job completely stinks right now, my best friend’s dad passed away last night, and I can’t seem to pull myself out of a funk. Also, I’m addicted to Pinterest, and it just makes me want to eat everything I can get my hands on. I just want to yell, really loudly, the word that sounds like funk. Was this post an over share?
Is anyone else having trouble posting something...
Beautiful Weather does not always Equal Beautiful...
I was excited all day about my scheduled “easy” run this afternoon. Spring has pretty much arrived here in South Texas…it is my favorite! The Mountain Laurels are out, everything is fresh and green, it has rained a lot here (thankfully) and it smells amazing out. Unfortunately, I’m very allergic to mold and several grasses that grow here. I also got started on this run way...
Week Seven Submission
Write a list of your trouble foods. What do you habitually struggle with? Write them down.
I pretty much struggle with every kind of food, but mostly sweets. Baked goods, cereal, and chocolate. I’m not a big salty food fan, but I’ll eat it if it is around.
Stay away from those foods this week. We will make this a long-term commitment, but for now, focus on making it through the...
Today's Run (and some other stuff)
I went out and had a pretty good little run at Texas Lutheran University. They have a nice 1k walk/run track there. The only thing is, it is right across the street from a Tyson chicken processing plant. Sometimes it gets, well, stinky. This afternoon was quite pleasant, actually. I am finally running my 3.1 miles in under 40 minutes. This was a goal for me at the beginning of the year, and...
San Antonio Rodeo 4-Mile Stampede
Because we can’t call it a race in Texas…it’s a stampede. I picked up my packet for the “stampede” this evening, and thought it hilarious that included in my “swag” bag was a packet of meatloaf seasoning.
I was SOOO excited to participate in this race. When I was in high school, I showed pigs…I know, so very country of me, huh? I actually made a...
Zumba Video
Meh. I’d rather be running.
Do Life Challenge Week 5 (aka Longest. Post....
I learned all kinds of things this week. First of all, there is more to “working out” than just running…okay, I really knew that, but I didn’t want to deal with it. Since one of the tasks this week was to create a workout for our buddies, I had to learn, rather, re-learn some things about what the human body really should be able to do. I was an athlete in high school. ...
What a Week
This week has most definitely been the busiest of the new year for me. Not only did I lose my senior English classes and gain 3 junior English classes, I also rearranged my whole classroom. If any of you are teachers, you know how the classroom becomes home away from home. I got to work at 7:30 and left after 5:00 every day…except today, I left early and got my brows and upper lip waxed...
Does Lap-Band Equal a Four Letter Word for Do...
So, tonight on the forums, I ran across some negative comments about weight loss surgery that really upset me. One in particular. It was also said that weight loss surgery is the complete opposite of what Ben did. How is realizing that I have a serious problem, and doing something about it completely opposite. I totally agree that I took a different approach, but I’m WORKING so hard to lose...
