I wrote this post several months ago when I was feeling discouraged and, honestly, a bit jealous. I thought for sure while re-reading that it was too negative to share, but then I decided “to hell with it—I am going to post it anyway.” Sometimes we feel angry…or jealous…or bitter…or stuck. This was during one…
thinking out loud
Currently // October 2016
How are we more than half-way through October and I’m still wearing shorts and flip-flops on the weekends? I’m so ready for some real FALL weather. So, how have you guys been? I haven’t been able to blog as much as I’d like (I have a few recipes and other posts in the works—just need…
What Is Your Happy Weight?
Don’t hate me, but I’ve always been one of those enviable (to some, not to all) people whose weight has mostly stayed the same since I was a teenager. Sure, my weight has fluctuated 10 or so pounds over the years (it still does), and then there was that time I gained close to a…
My Struggle With Anxiety (+ National Depression Screening Day)
This week is National Mental Illness Awareness Week, and today, October 6, is National Depression Screening Day. Chances are, if you don’t suffer from anxiety or depression yourself, then you have family or friends who do, which is why I think it’s incredibly important to talk about our experiences and encourage one another to reach out…
What I Learned Running My Most Recent 5K
I mentioned it on Monday, but this past weekend I ran (and walked…there was a lot of walking) a 5K. This was the 3rd annual 5K on the Runway right by where I work, so I was excited that I finally was able to participate (the first year, my doctor hadn’t released me from my…
It’s Fall, Y’all
Hello, guys! It’s the first day of autumn! In unapologetic, stereotypical white girl fashion, I adore fall. True, it will be at least another month before it actually starts to feel like autumn here in the Deep South, but just knowing that scarf weather, fall festivals, and so many more of my favorite things are…
How Motherhood Has Changed My Approach To Fitness
Hey friends! How’s your Thursday shaping up? I am loving how quickly this week has gone by thanks to the Labor Day holiday. And, after a week of battling some type of allergy attack or cold (leaning toward cold), I’m glad I made it back to the gym after a 2-week hiatus. The only bad…
Let’s Talk About the B-Word(s)
I’m a little late posting today (tonight), but I think it’s time to talk about the elephant in the room. Or the elephant that’s not in the room…at least not regularly. I mean the blog. For all 6 of my “loyal” readers, don’t freak out—I’m not quitting!—but I am sure you guys have noticed that…
Motherhood: Successes and Fails
It’s been a long time since I’ve talked motherhood on this blog. I know some of my readers are no where near the motherhood stage of their lives, but hopefully you guys are ok with a little thinking out loud in that realm every now and then. You guys. My sweet, still-tiny, ever-so-active Bazooka is…
Currently // August 2016
Hey friends! It’s been a while since I’ve really “talked” to you guys. Apart from Tuesday’s post, I just haven’t spent much time in front of the computer. At least not for fun. I’ve been crazy busy at work, and I’m actually enjoying the steady flow and feeling like I’m accomplishing something. Now that all…
