This is about me now.

I am approaching my two year anniversary and about to begin my Year 3. This blog has been evolving and adapting to what is happening in my life. It has gone from one extreme to another and back again, so thank you for sticking around.


I’m sure some of you were worried for a while that I was a person that possessed multiple personalities or bi-polar disorder, but I assure you that I am just your typical hormonal bitch woman – in no “true” need of medication or psychiatric help.

Anywhoozle.

After some recent soul searching and some extensive Reiki self-healings, I have come to determine that I love me now.

I haven’t been able to write that in a long time, but I am comfortable enough to let the world know – I love me. I am worth fulfilling any and all of my personal goals and dreams without the complications of other’s self doubts - PERIOD

I hope you understand.

I haven’t really done the things I told myself I would do this year, mainly because I have been consumed with family and career and even battled depression for a while, but all that is over. I CAN do it all. The only thing that has been missing is “my” time and that is changing – starting today. Oy!

I have never officially set down and wrote out a Bucket List of things I WILL do in my lifetime, but trust me – it is VERY LONG. Every time I fulfill a wish – I add two more to the bottom. (I’m badass like that…)

Somewhere on my unwritten list is to finish a Half-Marathon. I don’t wish to win or place or anything that extreme, but I would like to compete in and complete a Half Marathon.

I envision my family waiting at the finish line screaming my name beaming with pride as I look like a wounded zombie headed towards his prey looking for brains. Or maybe they will run with me part of the way…I don’t’ know, but this is about me now.

To go out and run/walk 5-6 miles is typical and something I know I can accomplish. But, the thought of run/walking over 13 miles is breathtaking. Literally! I have struggled with asthma my whole life and I haven’t master the breath control needed for long runs. I am scared.

But, I’ll have to get over it – and quickly!

Because today, I found the Half-Marathon training schedule that will fit my fitness and scheduling needs. It will be 14 weeks of dedicate workouts and following a stricter diet.

What I don’t have yet, is a Half-Marathon to go to...

It will have to be at the end of summer or late 3rd quarter in order for me to have the necessary time to complete my training. Wherever I decide to go, it will have to be somewhere where my family and I can travel to and see a little piece of the world we have never seen before. Any ideas?

Maybe I can erase two things off my Bucket List at once...hmmm?

Which means I’ll need to add four new dreams later…

SHOUT OOUUT to the bike!

I recently posted 396 Miles to Summer = 12 miles a day until the girls get out of school.

Welllll....let's just write that I'm a few miles short. I have been consistently getting in 9-10, but the time for those last 2-3 is fleeting! I have gotten in my 12 miles once! (That totally counts!)

I mean, the only thing that has saved me in getting in 9-10 miles is the bike! It takes the same amount of time to go 6 miles on the bike that it does to go 3 on the elliptical! Yay "shout out" to the bike!

I don't want to talk about running right now...ummm...my slogging isn't cutting it anymore. (Slow jogging)

I CAN admit that I have had some really great "sweats" - you know the kind where your neck, back, armpits, and ass crack can be identified completely! Yah! It makes me feel like I have worked out harder than I have when "sweat marks" can be identified. Of course, it makes it completely embarrasing when you walk out of the gym looking like you've just peed your pants!

Oh well...the things we do for our health and fitness - or for the extra 35lbs hanging on to dear life to my midsection! (I will shake those bitches off!) 

You're probably not going to believe this, but it has taken me 5 freaking hours to write this tiny little post!

That's how busy I am.

 But I needed a sanity break...

So thanks for reading!

In about an hour, I am going for the big 12 miles! Let's see if today is another successful day!
