I recently read “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” by Michael Pollan and wanted to give you all a quick review of the book. First of all I should say that I loved this book. I found it to be extremely informative and some of what I learned truly shocked me. What I liked most about the book [...]

Hey lovely ladies!! This past weekend was my sister’s baby shower in Oklahoma. It went okay. Baby showers are not my thing at all plus with the unresolved stuff going on between me and my mom/sister, it wasn’t the best time. But I did get to talk to my mom a little bit and I [...]

Thankfully, my weekend was much better than last week!! I was scheduled for a 20 miler but mentally, I could not get into it. I know it was all the mental and emotional stress of last week. I did about 11 miles and called it good. While a part of me felt like I had [...]

It’s been an off week for me on many levels. I feel mentally, emotionally, and physically beat down. The past two days at work have been rough…today, thankfully, has been better. Essentially, there’s a bully on a power trip and this week was the week he chose to pick on me. I was upset and [...]

Can I just say how happy I will be when July 31 has passed? Things at work have been INSANE. I like being busy though so it’s good. Plus I don’t snack as much when I’m busy. My hip/IT band has been feeling much better. When I first start running, my IT band will be [...]

Yesterday morning I had planned to do a short 3 miler, basically to assess my hip problems I was having last week. While I had some tightness in my IT band, I didn’t have the pain I felt last week in my hip joint. I was so relieved, I started crying. I have been extremely [...]

Coming back to work after a 3 day weekend is so much harder than after a 2 day weekend…but I’m here and surviving. I did enjoy my 3 days off. Friday we ran a lot of errands and looked for a dress for me to wear to my sister’s baby shower next month. We also [...]

Gaaahhhh! Sorry to create a new blog…then up and leave. I’ve had some less than positive experiences lately (some of which are extremely personal and upsetting for me) and in order to not spread around a lot of negativity, I haven’t been blogging. But writing is also a way for me to vent my emotions [...]
