Starting from Scratch:: Couch-to-5K

You have probably heard that we are putting on a race in October– Run the ‘Hood Virtual 5K/10K & Kids’ Run. It’s for anyone, really, walkers/runners/woggers… any age, any ability. I’ve now finished 3 half-marathons and several smaller races, but I’ve never had a race where I am able to consistently run {slow jog?} for [...]

Up and Down: Riding It Out and Working Through

I met Heidi from The Write Fit at Fitbloggin’ (she was the awesome chic with JumpSport Fitness Trampoline™!) and we just clicked. She told me she’d love to write for us about self-sabotage, and I’m thrilled to share her thoughts with all of you! We have all been there.  We have all been on diets, [...]

When Training, Kids, and Charity Collide

This past Sunday, I completed my third half-marathon. I am not a runner, nor do I really care if I ever am. Some may say it’s their legs that get them through long races, I say it’s my heart. I didn’t quite train as much as I had intended, funny how life gets in your [...]

Operation Beautiful

I love the times when you have no idea what you are going write about and something just presents itself to help you out. That’s just what happened when I was thinking about to do for this post. I was catching up on some blog reading a few weeks ago and came across this post [...]

Sister Inspiration – Elaine & South Beach

Today Elaine from the Miss Elaine-ous Life is sharing her South Beach Success story! On May 16th of this year I was sitting in my bed and eating my THIRD cupcake for the day and probably my FIFTH for the weekend.  See, the day before we’d had my son’s 3rd birthday party and there were [...]

Motivation Monday – 4-letter word

You ready for some quotes? Oh, I’ve got quotes… Supposing you have tried and failed again and again.  You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down.  ~Mary Pickford As I read through several weigh in posts on Wednesday, [...]

Motivation Monday::YOU

When you’re dealing with an injury, or multiple injuries, it really messes with your mind. You’re supposed to be resting up so your body can heal. Resting equals idle body. Idle body equals mind that has way too much time to think about the idle body and how much it’s driving you insane to be [...]

Motivation Monday

Lately, things for me have been one of those times that life has just happened.  I’ve had this to do or that to do OR this has happened and that has happened.  So, some things have had to give, which mainly means work outs. Truth is, with everything that has been going on, I just [...]

Motivation Monday

Can I be honest? Yes, you say? Why thank you…(kisses) I have been lacking motivation. There. Phew, I said it. It’s off my chest now. Do any of you need to get that off yours too?  (please do and we will re-group together) I’ll spare the excuses (because I’m good at them). It is what [...]

Motivation Monday – Honesty

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 [...]

Motivation Monday: Thoughts at a Stop Light

I faced my fear this weekend. I swam in the open ocean, in 60 degree water, in my wetsuit. A double whammy. (The cold and the ocean.) No big deal, right? Oh, it was to me. Because my very last swim was a disaster. It was back in October where I bobbed up and down – going [...]
