(WARNING: LONG post. Grab a snack and a drink first!) Friday I had a platelet donation scheduled. This is a regular thing for me, as you probably know if you follow me on Twitter or know me in real life. Every other month I donate whole blood at my church’s blood drive, and in between I [...] Tuesday was a big day for me. I hadn’t had anything other than a “maintenance” haircut or trim in quite a while. At least a year. I used to get all over blonde highlights and I really loved them. But sometimes it’s tough to spend the money on that for yourself when the kids need [...] My big day is almost here. One week from today I’ll be rockin’ out with Nickelback and I am completely STOKED. See you in a week, boys! Will I make it to my original goal I had in my mind? Nope. But after a frustratingly slow start and a few setbacks, I have made a lot [...] Back on January 10 when I started all this EMIHA business, I promised myself that I would check in faithfully every month on the 10th for a progress report. This month, however, that wasn’t possible. On Saturday the 1oth, I had my son’s Opening Day for baseball and my daughter’s First Communion. This meant: tons [...] Truth be told, it doesn’t take much to make me happy. I’ve always been a fan of the little things in life. A simple thank you. The words, “I appreciate that.” A hand to hold. A shoulder to cry on. An ear to listen. My son’s smile. My daughter’s giggle. A friend who knows just [...] I try to keep my religious views out of my blog. I was raised without religion and really resented it (and still do) when someone tried to shove their views down my throat. So please understand that’s the last thing I intend to do. I just want to mention that Sunday was Easter and to [...] OK, ladies & gentlemen, I am proud to announce that after a long hard battle, I am officially down 10 pounds since the start of this journey back on January 10. Yes, that is waaaaaaaaay longer than I expected it to take. But you know what? I couldn’t give a toss. I’m happy with it [...] I have this bad habit of weighing myself daily. I know … it’s bad. I get so wrapped up in that stupid number. I know I shouldn’t, but I do it anyway. Last week was classic. Superbusy. Workouts were off. An unusual occurrence of higher sodium foods a couple days in a row. My daughter’s [...] So, I know some of you probably think I’m kind of hardcore about having my space clear. I do like things a certain way when I work out. Because my home gym is in my children’s playroom, I tend to get easily distracted when they leave toys out or junk spread all over the desks. [...] The virtual FitBloggin 5K is taking place next Saturday. And I’m already planning to participate in another virtual race. But this is not just any race. It’s not about the time or distance. It’s personal. This is quite a bit longer than most blog posts, but I encourage you to read it all the way [...] |
