There were a few things that I thought about this morning that I had to add to what was said in the previous post.  A little more about the issue: (source) So WHAT?  What can we do now?  How can we change the misrepresentation of women? 1.  Support each other.  The media tears us down [...]

Last night I had an incredible opportunity to go see Miss Representation with two of my best teacher friends (I consider them my best teacher friends, I wonder if they feel the same? They better now after I brought them My Little Pony fruit snacks). (PS you will never see my room this clean again…my [...]

I don’t remember where I heard about the book ‘Mind Gym‘ but it is a winner and a book that definitely helped me with my mental strength.  I wanted to start off with a list of my favorite quotes from the book (the bold ones are my absolute favorite). “You have to train your mind [...]

One of the best things happened today.  Because I love wearing the exact same outfit two days in a row, when I reached in my pocket there were leftover skittles from last night.  It is amazing what makes my day at 9:38 a.m. PS it turns out that twice-baked potatoes make great fuel the night [...]

Thoughts rolling around in my brain

What is rolling around my brain on February 1st: 1.  I have a tough decision to make. I have a student selling Girl Scout cookies and I just can’t decide what kind to get.  Try something new? Samoas? Thin Mints? One of all of them and risk Billy thinking I am crazy for spending $35 [...]

First up in my exciting life;) My mom gave me the most ginormous peaches I have ever seen. Good thing my stomach isn’t the ‘size of your fist’ and more like the ‘size of your head’ so that I can comfortably eat 3 of these at a time for a snack:) ————————————————————– In my last [...]

Century Race Recap

Remember how I couldn’t look behind me or drink my watterbottle while I rode my bike….not anymore, I mastered BOTH skills throughout my century yesterday. Let’s start from the start.  I woke up grumpy. It was rainy and cold outside and I had no desire to workout for the next rest of my life, by [...]

But first……… I am spooning with my bike every night before the century.  We feel more connected now and we now know that Saturday is going to be very successful. As Billy is becoming a hard-core runner and kicking trash and I am thinking that my body is ready to get back into running (um, [...]

Taking the Pressure out of Running

Two things about the gym this morning: 1.  I thought a clip would hold my hair nicely during my workout because I finally washed my hair yesterday and didn’t want to get a rubber band marking in my hair.  It worked for 23 seconds before I put it into a ponytail. 2.  I made a [...]

Opening up: cutting out foods.

Happy Sunday!! Today we are talking about cereal.  As you know I go through different food obsessions frequently and like talking all about them until I get sick of them and move onto the next. At this point in my life, I would choose a bowl of cereal over a bowl of ice cream everyday. [...]

Motivation to get up early to work-out.

What better way to sweat all the grease out that I ate for lunch yesterday than going on a HOT bike-ride while my buddies ran. Yes, this is probably the worst picture I have ever taken but you try taking a picture while riding a mountain bike in flip-flops with sweaty hands.  LIFE LESSON: Do [...]
