Sure, you can choose to deem this a re-run. I prefer to view it as foreshadowing for tomorrow’s post. Tomato. Tomaaaaato. We’ve previously established there are innumerable things I’ll attempt in the name of coming up with a freakin blog post journalism. I’ve NIA’d I’ve awkwardly swung a kettlebell. Ive competed in bodybuilding. This time, [...]

Size 16. Great. How did I end up here again? I counted my points, weighed my food, forced myself to run miles upon miles. What is wrong with me? Why can’t I keep this weight off? Because it isn’t about the points, the miles or even the food. This was a long and hard lesson [...]

If I could write a letter to the me of a year ago this is what I would say…. Dear self, As you stood there today, eyes locked on that mirror….looking at a stranger that you hadn’t really noticed before. A stranger that you have been trying to avoid seeing for years…. By avoiding mirrors [...]

Ive been a longtime lurker on Heather’s blog. For some reason I never felt right commenting because I wasnt a runner. I dont know what defined a runner in my mind—but I wasnt it & wasnt sure I had anything to add to the commentversation (tip: dont be me). Thankfully Heather didnt hold that against [...]

Ive made no secret of the fact that I adore the exercise skirt/dress notion. Inexplicably I LOVE being clad in uberfeminine attire whilst working out when I own only a few of these garments designed for non-exercise activities. (truly.
