I’ve written about this before, but I am one of those people who are perpetually running late. It’s mostly because I ALWAYS overschedule myself. I seem to think it only takes me an hour to eat, run, shower, get dressed, and blog. And it obviously takes more time than that! When am I going to [...]
December 2011
Oh, Monday. You were pretty in my face today. Did you have a crazy Monday, too? We pulled a long day at the clinic, I had two conference calls, and I wrote four freelance articles. It was nuts. I was so rushed I completely forgot an afternoon snack and ended up starving by dinnertime. I [...]
When I was younger, one of the primary reasons I avoided working out was that I was pretty embarrassed about how much my breasts moved during exercise. By the time I entered high school, I was a 34D, which looked especially large on my petite frame. Our society assumes that larger breasts are the best [...]
Last night, the Christmas tree stand almost got the best of me. Almost. Even though we’ve had that stand for five years, I can never figure out exactly how to put it together – it’s pretty temperamental. And we spent another 20 minutes trying to to fit the tree into the stand; we had to [...]
Last night, the ACC Championship rolled into town. And a few months ago, we were feeling hopeful about the Miami Hurricanes’ chances (and had a StubHub.com credit), so we bought tickets. Unfortunately, our team was not in the game (boo!). But fortunately for us, WE LOVE TO TAILGATE. Do you know what’s even better [...]
It may have been chilly outside, but we ROCKED the New Balance Girls on the Run 5K. All of the girls had an absolute blast. A culmination of a season of fun and laughter, self-confidence boosting lessons, and a little bit of running, too. I’m not sure what the BEST part of the morning was [...]
Excitement! Our Girls on the Run troop just found out that we won a Facebook contest and will be called on stage before tomorrow’s 5K to do an Energy Award (a cheer) in front of more than 7,000 people! Molly Barker, the founder of GOTR, will be there, too. I’m pumped for the girls – [...]
Time to wrap up the November Push-Up Challenge and start tackling a new goal – the December Plank Challenge! All in all, the November Push-Up Challenge went pretty well. I didn’t reach my goal of 50 push-ups per session (I maxed out at 35, which I did again this morning), but I’m still pretty proud [...]
I was so proud of myself this evening. In between patients at the clinic, I slipped out of my work clothes and into running gear and went on a 30 minute run! My morning was pretty busy, and I thought that I had missed the opportunity to workout, but I made it happen. (For [...]
A while back, I wrote a post called ‘Green Your Period.’ The post was prompted by my discovery of organic tampons – who even knew they made such a thing?! – and my struggles with abnormal pap smears. I hopped on the Interwebs to investigate why women would use organic tampons, and that’s when I [...]
Did you remember to say Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit today? I did – but only because I was up at 3 AM and staring at the ceiling. HAPPY DECEMBER! My little Rabbit, rockin’ her new winter jacket. Look – I’m not the kind of person that normally dresses her dogs up in clothing, but Maggie is [...]
