Today felt like an overnight oats kind of morning. Except I didn’t make overnight oats last night. Good thing “Overnight Oats” is just a trick of a name and it could more accurately be called “Just a Few Hours Oats”. Into a bowl at 6 AM: 1/2 a mashed banana, 1/2 c of rolled oats, … Read more
It’s Sunday! How about starting today with a nice long run with Jillian Michaels on my shoulder? Jillian’s radio show may be over, but that doesn’t mean she can’t live on in my heart and my iPod too. At 28 degrees, it was cold enough this morning to break out the pink fuzzy gloves. I … Read more
What’s one of the first things I do when I wake up in the morning? Put in my contact lenses. And what’s the first thing I saw today? Toys on the bathroom counter. But do you see what I see? If I look in the mirror I see a lady with a dirty mind. At … Read more

Given it’s Thanksgiving week, almost all of our normal homeschool-away-from-home activities have been canceled for the holiday. I wanted something warm for breakfast this morning but the idea of hot oatmeal just wasn’t doing it for me. Since we didn’t have to be anywhere this morning, I decided to spend some time on a more … Read more
For my work out this morning I planned to hit the machines at the gym. I was surprised to find that the temperature was only in the mid 40′s, so at the last minute I decided to warm up by jogging the mile to the gym instead of driving. Exactly 8 minutes and 19 seconds … Read more
Didn’t I just say the other day that swimming is one of my least favorite forms of cardio? It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s tedious, it’s boring. But just like that ex-boyfriend you run into after some time apart, you find yourself wondering what was really so bad about him after all. This is my way … Read more
