I feel like I have posted this here before, probably several years ago. I would have to go back and look into my somewhat extensive archives. But here goes again anyway: I need to lose weight. Not necessarily so I look “good” or “better”, but because it would be beneficial to my overall health if I…
Fight or Flight
The warm cup of coffee sits before me and I think about all the things that would taste good with it. Like a muffin or a scone. Like a bowl of “cinnamon cereal”. Just one small bowl. And then the word “NO” pops into my head. A HUGE fonted “NO” that screams at me, YOU…
I know someone else at the gym wants my body too…
There is a woman who belongs to my gym/club that has a super rockin’ body. Whenever she is in front of me on any apparatus in the large cardio room then I am guaranteed to watch her for a bit. My eyes gravitate towards her. And don’t lie to yourself (or me) and tell me…
Feeling Better in my Bathing Suit & Weekend Fun!
I sat by the pool watching a family. They had one little girl, probably about 18 months old and two older boys in their teens. The mother doted on the adorable baby as she splashed about and she must have asked her to say “cheese” a thousand times in one minute as she put her…
The Thing About Exercise That No One Talks About…
While I’m off, taking on NYC at the BlogHer conference, a few friends have agreed to guest post here for me. I have such awesome friends! First up is someone I blame for blogging. Oh wait, did I say blame? Okay, I meant attribute my awesome love for other bloggers to… She was the first…
She’s Got Legs/Miss Elaine-ous Monday
I go to our gym 2-3 times a week to run, cross train or take zumba, etc. The place we go here in Laffy, is quite unique in that it is owned by an individual and has grown a lot since he opened the doors in 1963. Not to mention “he” is a former Mr….
The Evolution of a Runner
Person thinks maybe they’ll take up running after being inspired by friends. Person goes in closet and thinks, “these shoes will be fine”. Person goes to the gym treadmill and runs one minute (not mile) and is pretty sure death is upon them. Person reconsiders. Person is persistent and goes back to gym and works…
Are they too short?
I bought these shorts at Loft a few weeks ago. And then I kinda regretted it. But, it gets REALLY hot here. However, I am 36 now. NOT 16. Are they too short? What do YOU think?I’ve been going over it in my head and looking at myself in the mirror and let me tell you…
It Was Mine
a view during my run on Saturday… I could barely feel my toes at the beginning. So cold. I scanned the crowd and saw so many others with the “right” running clothes. 1300 people. I was ONE of them. I heard the horn and my legs went. And went. I could feel my heart beating…
Check out my rack and the Racktrap! (A giveaway)
The other day I bought an awesome new sports bra for running. So, why do you care? well, I’m sharing this for a few reasons: 1) This is exciting stuff these days with as much running as I’m doing (getting ready for another 10K in Baton Rouge on 2/5). 2) It is the first…
