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 [...]
Welcome to the Monday Project Link-Up!! This week was all about catching up on projects past because even I, who writes the post every week, missed posting a project. And before we get ahead of ourselves with some really cool new projects, we wanted to give all our newbies and procrastinators a shot at being able to [...]
We’ve been playing along with the Monday Project since the first week of January here at the Sisterhood and that means we are in WEEK 10 of Monday Projects! Wow!! We’ve had a lot of awesomeness come out of them, too, with some pretty memorable projects and a lot of soul-searching along the way. There was [...]
This weekend, I went for my long run for Team in Training. Most runs, I let my mind go blank, forgetting about stresses and troubles and to-do lists at home. I let my mind go free from all of it, letting my iPod pound out good music in my ears. And this weekend’s run was [...]
My own motivation has been a little lax lately. There’s no real reason…it just happens every once in a while. You’re coasting along and every thing is hunky dory. Suddenly, you realize that you are sitting like a bump on a log, you haven’t exercised in a week and yes you did eat a whole [...]
When my husband was out of town last weekend, I missed a ride with my triathlon group because I didn’t have anyone to watch the kids. (I used the bike trainer in my living room instead.) And that was just fine with me, it was freakin cold outside and after everyone got done with the [...]
Most Sundays, my parents make the 1 1/2 hour drive south to our house to visit, maybe help us out with a house project, and have dinner. I love seeing them, even though I’m pretty sure the main draw for them is the grandkid. (Okay, not pretty sure, I’m positive. My mom flat out TELLS [...]
By show of hands (and I want them raised high because I can see you. Yes I can.), how many of you are afraid to fail? How many of you that are afraid to fail, then avoid things BECAUSE you are afraid you’ll fail? Or give yourself a hard time for failing? It really hurts [...]
Good afternoon, sisters!! Well, we’re getting pretty far down the line in this challenge, I can’t believe we have just three weigh-ins left! And can you believe that it’s already February? How did that happen? We have been in this challenge since December (almost five weeks!!) and by now you’ve had a chance to either [...]
**The winner has been chosen! See down below in the comments to see if it’s you!** Are you aware that heart disease is the number one killer of women in America? Cardiovascular disease includes diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Most heart and blood vessel problems slowly build up over a long period of [...]
All I could think about today (Sun) is my new toy get your mind out of the gutter. I finally bit the bullet and bought a Nike+Ipod Sports Kit. (Christy wrote a review about it if you want to know more about it). She has been raving about it ever since she got it and [...]
So much tragedy has been happening in the world lately and if you are anything like me, you have probably sat and watched the Haiti coverage with tears streaming down your face while you call your husband and beg him to let you adopt a Haitian child. It’s so easy to fall so quickly into [...]
Since I was a little kid, I’ve always been negative realistic. In some ways, it serves me well, but largely it sets me up for failure. After all, it’s a defense mechanism. Expect the worst, but hope for the best – and by anticipating bad things, I may not try as hard to meet my [...]
