This past Easter was a wonderful one filled with quality family time and delicious food. Shortly after the in-laws arrived Friday evening, we enjoyed boiled crawfish (second time in 2 weeks). These little guys were larger than the last batch, but not quite as spicy. We slept late Saturday morning, joining my parents at their…

WIAW #21…What’s with the cold?
The last couple of days have been windy and cold. I’m going to let that be the reasoning for skipping yesterday evening’s run (instead of my propensity for laziness and making excuses). Plus, after convincing Mark to sign up for Color Me Rad as well, I’m not too concerned about whether I run the entire…
Spring is in the Air (+ WIAW #20)
Not only is it one of my favorite days, but it’s the first official day of spring! I’m sure all you northerners are rejoicing toward the heavens, but around these parts (said in a most exaggerated southern accent), the azaleas are in bloom, the birds are singing, and my car is coated with a thick…
Exercise Benefits + WIAW #19
I’m probably a horrible person for wishing my life way, but I’m so happy it’s finally Wednesday, the ever-so-wonderful hump day. More importantly, I’m so happy that I’m able to walk like a normal (by appearance, anyway) person today! After having a frustrating day at work yesterday, I let out some steam during my evening…
WIAW #18: It’s Easy Eating Green
This month’s What I Ate Wednesday theme is Going Green! What is it about green vegetables that gives them such a bad reputation? Ask a group of children (even teenagers) if they enjoy eating Brussels sprouts, asparagus, collard greens, or peas, and the majority would tell you they despise them. I cringed at the sight…
WIAW #17: I’m no rabbit…
I have to admit that tonight’s post almost didn’t happen. I’m tired! I had a great workout at gymnastics tonight, thanks to being the only person in class for a good 15 minutes. Yesterday I completed a 1.5 mile run! My previous run (1 mile) was last Tuesday (yes, I slacked off Thursday and Saturday),…
#16: What I Ate…While On Vacation!
It’s been a crazy busy week since returning from Clearwater & Orlando (a win for work, but a loss for the blog!)—but it wouldn’t be a proper Wednesday without linking up for What I Ate Wednesday. This week, I thought I’d share some of the fabulous (and disappointing) meals we consumed on vacation. First up:…
Mile Accomplished + WIAW #15
I always love Wednesdays, but I’m especially fond of today. In exactly one week, I will be at Harry Potter World sipping butter beer and learning how to use a magic wand! 🙂 Another reason I’m particularly happy today is my achievement of a small fitness goal. Last Thursday, Sunday, and yesterday, I ran a…
WIAW #14 + Jello Arms
Today I’d hoped to share how I finally ran a mile without stopping. I’m blaming the awful humidity and the half-awake stupor I was in, but Saturday’s run was worse than the previous two! No mile—yet. Also, my planned run for yesterday didn’t happen because it was extremely windy and raining. I did, however, do…
Almost a Mile + WIAW #13
Since I’m likely signing up for Color Me Rad in April, yesterday I decided it was time to bite the bullet and start training. I’m not a runner. In fact, I’ve always loathed running. Even when I excelled in every other category of the physical fitness testing in grammar school (I rocked the flex arm…
