pho·bi·a : a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it. I have a phobia of classes at the gym. It’s not that I don’t like taking classes, because I do. My college bestie, Hannah, and I took step aerobics our freshman year and [...]

True Confessions in the house! Or is that in the ‘hood? Hmmmm. Let’s see….. The good: I am officially running again. WOOT! That little bout with tendinitis really scared the shit out of me, though.

Every time I see the slogan “Knowledge is Power” it reminds me of that cartoon with all those people, was it on after-school specials? Or Saturday mornings back when there were Saturday morning cartoons? I don’t remember. Boy I miss Saturday morning cartoons. Anyway, this week, we’re going to fill our brains with knowledge. Because [...]
I had a little bit of a mental breakdown the other day. I’ve been feeling very overwhelmed with life in general and I’ve been reading time management books and thinking about what I can do to change my life. I was walking around the house trying to figure out how to finish the sentence “I [...]
A while back, the fabulous team at BornFit asked me if I would like to help them kick-off the Motherhood of the Traveling Shirt. I was honored that they would even THINK to ask me, so of course I said yes. They sent me a magical shirt to inspire me on my journey to get [...]

When I started this running gig back in October, I heard some rumblings here and there about a site called www.dailymile.com. I checked it out briefly but didn’t give it much thought because um, hello, I already have enough sites that I write on/check status/update or twitter/facebook/blog. I had no intention of adding ANOTHER ONE [...]
Our lovable Christie O. is putting on a fun (and very brave) fundraiser today at Westfield Countryside Mall in Clearwater, FL, from 10 a.m. until closing or until she reaches her Team Shrinking Jeans fundraising goal, whichever comes first. She’s super nervous, as we all would be, so let’s show her as much virtual support [...]

This was very a very telling Monday Project for me! I just let my fingers fly on the keyboard, I didn’t think too much about my answers and I just let the answers tell themselves. And there were a few reasons I would have thought that I do these things for, that never actually occurred [...]
