The Mind is a Powerful Thing

The Mind is a Powerful Thing

I am my biggest cheerleader. I am also my biggest naysayer.  You can’t do that. You can’t run. You can’t run a half marathon. You can’t race a triathlon. You don’t know how to race a bike. You can’t lose those last 10-15 lbs. You can’t keep the weight off. You can’t expose your body [...]

Work Life Balance, An Ongoing Struggle

So it’s the Friday before my first Triathlon and I’m finally able to breath for a few hours. I’ve been working crazy 70~ hour weeks for the past 4 weeks and I’ve completely neglected my blog and my sisters here in the hood … sorry ladies :( I’ll admit now that my workouts haven’t been [...]

True Confessions of the Traveling, Triathlon Kind

Well, let’s see.  Today is Tuesday and I have lots and lots to confess, but I will try to stay on task. During the last 4 weeks, I have traveled FOUR times.  That means I have eaten four times as bad as one trip out of town.  My goodness.  I have had the vacation mindset [...]

Review, remind and re-set

Review, remind and re-set

I’m taking a review of sorts, a review of me.  You see, I have become complacent these last few months, especially the last month.  There has been a beach vacation and then a lake vacation and lots of Summer activities.  I have the three kiddos home with me and my husband has been traveling for [...]

What’s A Guy To Review?

So today is supposed to be review it Saturday and I don’t have anything to review, at least not with any authority. I have some new things I’ve purchased recently like a pair of Aqua Sphere Vista swim goggles but I’ve only used them once. I have a new cycling helmet I’ve had a few [...]

Try it Thursday

Many of you who know me wouldn’t be surprised if I told you that every time I think of the word “try,” I think of the word, “tri.” It’s because “tri” to me, is the epitome of “try.” Not to everyone, just to me. I feel that way because the first time I ever raced [...]

Sister Spotlight:: Christie O!

Straight from Roo: I was floored when I saw I was picked for the Sister Spotlight. I’ve been around the hood here for a while and there are so many sisters that have been inspirational, helpful and motivational to me. I truly love them all. They may be my online friends but I call them [...]

Thursday Three- What if money were no object?

Let’s have a little fun with today’s Thursday Three. Do you ever wish you had more money in your pocket/in the bank?  To spend on things that just might not be in your budget?  Yes, I said BUDGET.  Ever since I became a SAHM, we have lived by a budget.  It took some getting used [...]

Last week, Beki was our featured Sister and that means she gets to pass the torch on to another deserving woman this week! I must add that I wholeheartedly agree with her choice, as this [...]
