I need to have a moment of honesty here...I'm in a funk. Who is with me?! I hope you are not, but I also hope you are because then I wouldn't feel like such a schlub. I've been struggling for awhile now, not really feeling like myself. I feel like I'm living this Reader's Digest version of my life because I don't have the energy to do anything else. I'm not sure why...whether or not it's due to the colder weather or what...but I'm just … [Read more...]
So I did it...I ran a half marathon. And just four months ago I couldn't even run a mile. And I did 13.1. I wish I felt a little more impressed with myself, but I guess I'm just that person who can never be satisfied. But it's what keeps me going, keeps me motivated to do better and try harder. And this is possibly the most unflattering picture of me ever...enjoy! So here's the play-by-play. I woke up at about 6 am and got … [Read more...]
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Lean Cuisine, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #HonestlyGood #ad http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO. Wanna know what I had for breakfast today? Two peanut butter cookies from last night. Yep--that's how I do it. I treat myself right. Nope...wrong. My life is an ongoing battle of trying to be healthy and giving in to my powerful cravings for … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Arby's for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. One great childhood memory I have is going to Arby's with my best friend and her dad in the winter. We'd go to Arby's, get some yummy roast beef sandwiches, and go home and watch movies all afternoon. I hadn't been to Arby's in a long time, but I was recently curious about their new Smokehouse Brisket sandwich. I love slow smoked barbeque, so … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of BIC® for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. One of my fondest memories of my grade school years were notes. Passing notes was a huge thing back then. (I guess it could still be huge but I would have no idea.) But more than passing the note which, by the way, stated incredibly unimportant yet still urgent pieces of information of which could not wait until the end of class, was … [Read more...]
Anyone who knows me knows that I pretty much read exclusively by audio books. I don't even remember the last time I made it entirely through a regular book. Every time I try to read them, I fall asleep within about ten minutes and/or get interrupted by someone (*cough cough KIDS cough cough*). I have a pretty busy schedule and reading books with my eyeballs just doesn't fit in. But I enjoy reading. So obviously audio books are a great … [Read more...]
Last Saturday I ran my very first 5k. Seems kind of crazy that I'm 29 and just now running my first 5k. The truth is, it never occurred to me to even do one until now. A 5k is 3.1 miles. It's not really that bad. But I wanted to run the whole thing straight through and running 3 miles straight was something I have never done. I just started running one month ago. The Thursday before I wanted to kind of preview what the 5k would … [Read more...]
Yesterday I was determined to actually write a worth-while post. It was great--full of handy tips and tricks for travelling with young kids. And then it got erased. Completely. Gone. I don't have the energy to re-write it at this time so I think you'll have to google that topic until I do. Instead I'm going to write about some things that have been going on lately. It's been crazy. My husband had the entire month of July off so … [Read more...]
