As if there’s a new bachelor on right now? When the hell did this happen? You guys, TiVo FAILED me. Wait, it’s Ashley? Meh, TiVo knew best. TiVo always knows best. TiVo had 4 Real World Las Vegas episodes waiting for me last weekend < — > best. season. ever. It’s true, my love for trashy tv has no bounds. I’m pretty sure when I’m a 60 year old grandmother (hush...

Let's Run!
As I type this from my soft, comfy chair, the thought of running boggles (boggles!) my mind, but come this Wednesday, we’ll be off!!
The Excel Chart
Where can I download it? HERE! HERE!! HERE!! Finally, I actually made it! It only took me, like, 3 months, BUT, I think it’s rather awesome, and worth the wait :)
Please note, these 3 schedules are to get someone to COMPLETE the...
I hate it when you have something delicious in your mouth, but then take too big of a swallow, and it vanishes into the abyss that is your throat, and the delicious item was a waste of calories #justhappened
Don’t worry, the above food item was a Starbucks, 220 cal spinach, feta, egg-white wrap. So delicious. I will miss them greatly.
Are you still in bed? If so, I’m jealous. I’ve been at work...

The Paleo Diet: So Easy, A Caveman Can Do It.
30 days 720 hours 43,200 minutes 2,592,000 seconds
On Thursday, June 30th, 2011 you and I will have lost 5 pounds each. Or not. We will have accomplished a goal on our list, carried out a life desire, completed something we want to do. Or not. Each of us will be the sole individual responsible for our outcome. Will laziness defeat us? Will weakness, in a moment of desire, win? Will we put...

My Fourth ½ Marathon
I never posted about my recent half marathon because right before I had a sudden burst of, “running posts are boring,” messages (y’all are so kind), and the actual run was quite uneventful.
But then, this morning I was emailed my race photos, and I thought, to hell with it! I’m going to write about it - suckas.
I love the half marathon distance. 21 kilometers (13 miles) is short enough to...
For What It's Worth...
Write it out. That’s what they say. It’ll help. Get your thoughts in order. It’ll allow you to see where you stand;
Life Limbo. That’s me. That’s my life.
I’m 26 as I type this and am exactly the person I didn’t want to be. I imagined such fabulous things for this little life I lead, and not one of them found me so lost at 26.
Depression? No. Rut?...

26 Awesome Things About Being 26 and Single
Answering to no one. What’s that? I want to fly to NYC on a whim, to drink, shop and party with friends? O.k. then!
I can sleep in the middle of the bed. Or like a starfish. Or I can high-kick and fist-pump in my sleep. Or, if I’m daring, diagonal sleep - WHOA.
I am me. No bullshit. No other people’s opinions. It’s awesome. It’s simple.
So I stumbled home at...

I’m such a drama queen. I know, I know. But why are people assholes? Anonymous assholes, that is? Whatever; you think you know me. but you have no idea [it’s true, I stole that last sentence from some MTV show, it made me feel cool (for a moment)].

The [fine, MY] Reality of Skipping Meals...
So, last night I went to le movies and saw Something Borrowed (it’s super cute, the guy is unrealistically hot (like omigod), and if you go, make sure you stay until after the credits), ANYWHO, so I hurried home from work, changed, and then drove my limousine-dodge-van, also known as Vanny, to pick up my friend, for the 7:20 showing.
I didn’t eat dinner. On purpose.
I knew my will...

– ~ Inappropriate (but awesome) work colleague.
I want to do a challenge. One of those 30-Day Challenge type things… to kick start my lazy ass. Whether it’s food, exercise, or both, I feel like doing a challenge.
Gotta revitalize/refresh/invigorate/rejuvenate/renew my weight loss journey! As I feel like I’ve fallen into a slump, and want to prove to myself I can actually stick with something for a mere 30 days.
Anyone know...
Good morning! Good morning! *cue me strutting down the cubicle isle waving at unicorns and rainbows* It’s true, I am in a good mood this morrow. Reasons? Hussh, do not question reasons for such glorious things.
Speaking of moods: UP and DOWN and then DOWN and UP my posts have been recently, I’d apologize, but then y’know, this wouldn’t be a real-life-this-is-how-I-roll-blog.

I arrived home from Aruba at 3am last Monday morning, and as any twenty-something girl, who’s obsessed with their weight, would, I obviously weighed myself. I stepped on the scale, and waited… and then I read the 3 little numbers between my toes. Umm what? That must be wrong. I stepped on the scale again. And again. And again. It still read the same thing.
I climbed into bed, and lay...
