Weighing Yourself: The Scale

April 3, 2013

I have written a few posts in the past about my issues with the scale. For years I would weigh myself every single day of my life and the number that popped up would determine how I felt about myself that day. Not a fun way to live right?!? Over two years ago I wrote about my decision to stop weighing myself. That was one of my best ideas ever. I stopped the obsession with the number on that little ...

Things to do in San Francisco pt. 1

March 5, 2013

We got to San Francisco just in time to park the car and walk over to a restaurant in the Mission District for lunch. Billy complimented me as we were walking to the restaurant about how I don’t get as mean as I used to get when I am hungry. I guess now I just get a little mean when I am hungry but it’s all about progress… not perfection:) Brooke absolutely loves sitting in high chairs. We ...

Cathryn told us last week about the cutest little town that we had to visit, Davenport. The reason we took her recommendation so seriously was because she told us that they had AMAZING fish n ...

How I started the Hungry Runner Girl and tips to start your own blog.

January 8, 2013

Workout today was with my two best friends on my favorite trail. We did 8 miles and I insist on pushing Brooke the whole time because pushing the jogging stroller kicks my trash. My hamstrings are still on fire and when I am running up a hill with that thing I feel like I am running a 5:39 mile. We averaged about an 8:03 pace. It was a good run. I wanted to talk about blogging today because clearly I ...

The Birth Story

August 20, 2012

Brooke really did listen to me a few posts before going into labor about waiting to come be with us until I made it to Cali so that Billy could be there for the birth and waiting until I got a great run in with some new friends. It all happened so fast but now I can’t imagine having to wait any longer to have Brooke in my life… thanks for coming early. The first morning (Tuesday) I was in ...
