Where the heck did October go? 1. I will be completing a photo journal rather than a written journal this year. This is still going strong and I love going back in each week and catching a page I forgot about and getting a chuckle. Some of those little awkward moments I snapped a picture... Continue Reading →
Have I actually relaxed?
It’s nearing the end of “settling in” theme month here on LAA. And I know the question on everyone’s minds is…”Have I actually relaxed?” I would say in many ways I have. I’ve knocked out a ton of crafts that I really wanted to do and found myself sillyly (not a word, but roll with... Continue Reading →
Today we are Settling In
And finishing that blasted bucket list. What I have realized that when you settle in, it’s like trying to find peace. and for me, finishing a list isn’t just a simple accomplishment, it is a complete reason to RELAX. So, I’m happy to report that over the last month or so, I’ve been doing tons... Continue Reading →
Got my Schedule – A Training Map for the Half Marathon
Okay people. I got my half marathon training “map”…and tonight I’m planning out how to start. But the fact is, I need the motivation and energy. I want to do something for myself. Truth is, I miss the gym. I’m keeping my weight in a happy place, but I feel like I’m losing oomph. I’m... Continue Reading →
Resolution Check: July
Watch out world, 2014 is up and running… 1. I will be completing a photo journal rather than a written journal next year. Still going! I’m enjoying each Monday of coming in and seeing the little tidbits that end up coming from my phone. Sometimes it just reminds me of a lovely memory for a... Continue Reading →

Seriously. In the past five minutes all of the food below has popped into my head. Okay, perhaps not the past five minutes, but at least since I woke up this morning. and it’s killing me. Usually the SECOND I tell myself to cut back on the eating and up the ante on the exercise,... Continue Reading →
Resolution Progress: June
Watch out world, 2014 is up and running…and I have to admit something. I hate this set of resolutions. Life has changed ten-fold since I wrote them at the end of 2013 and I think if I’m honest with myself, that some of these just aren’t going to get done. So I’m setting aside the... Continue Reading →
My Husband did a Half.
He did so well… He (nor I) have been running a ton. But what I loved had very little to do with athletic skill. It was the smile on his face when I saw him. He made his good time. He hit the mark exactly where he said. He normally looks like death warmed over... Continue Reading →
Running has Turned into Biking
…the reception is in my sights. and barring that Seattle is right around the corner, I’m putting myself on the diet during the week so that I feel perfect on my reception day and surprise honeymoon. Seriously, I’m so excited its a surprise, but holy moley is it getting the better of me. I have... Continue Reading →
Running a 5K with the Hubster
I hadn’t run in. Well. I hadn’t. and it was Saturday. and we had a million things to do. But I was determined to get the day off to an amazingly successful start by doing a 5K and feeling super fit and trim and stuff. Besides, it would help me feel good that I wanted... Continue Reading →
