Out of Breath

June 7, 2011

The length of the football field loomed ahead of me. I can’t do this, I thought. We were wrapping up the 2nd day of boot-camp class.  After our warm-up lap and exercises, we made our way down to the killing athletic field and embarked upon a series of torturous exercises.  Push-ups, jump lunges, frog squats, […]

New eats and sweet treats

March 3, 2010

Can you believe it’s already March?  I can’t.  I know the weather isn’t helping, we had snow AGAIN yesterday.  That’s like 3 times in the past 2 months.  In Atlanta.  Where it’s not supposed to snow.   In fact, Mr. Spice’s declaration that we can’t live where it snows and that therefore in the South we […]

Not my way to start the week

March 2, 2010

So remember how I was hoping Monday would be drama-free? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, what was I thinking? Nothing like finding out at 3pm that there are software issues related to what you need to get done that day. We were getting ready to have to manually prepare what we needed, but someone in that group performed a […]

Flip-Flop Sunday

January 31, 2010

I hope everyone had a good weekend! Why flip-flop Sunday?  No, nothing to do with my favorite summer footwear, it’s far too cold for those.  I was referring to the outcome of some of my eats today.  Some I flipped over, some were flops.  Get it?  Hey, I’m trying with the titles. First up is […]

Free for Friday

January 30, 2010

I was bad yesterday and didn’t post.  I got home from work and just felt too tired to post.  Sorry! Two good things — yesterday was 5 days in a row I got up to exercise in the morning and I think I was rewarded for this torture by having a 2 lb. loss at […]
