Working on Chicken

The office she set up contained her phone, laptop, a drink and a “blackberry”.

She’s a Rock Star

I’m just going to say this and I don’t care what anyone thinks- those women you see- those average, every day, non-celebrity women who have more than one kid they have tote around and are still in great shape. Those women are freakin’ rock stars. Getting to the gym with one kid in a baby [...]

Got Colic?

I can still remember the tension. The aching knot in my shoulders that was caused by them continuously being hunched up in stress and frustration as I tried to soothe my daughter for what felt like the millionth hour that day. Every day.  Colic.  That five letter word can reduce any parent to a puddle and [...]

Beyond the Couch to 5k

So here I am beginning week four in my Couch to 5k training and it hit me as I was out running on Saturday.  I’m impatient. OK, I already knew that.  I can be like a cat on meth when it comes to having patience.  I really don’t want to go many more months of [...]

Finding My Way, Again.

I admit that lately I have felt uninspired.  I have ignored my blog, been busy with life, work and incubating the Fifth Element the last few months.  It hasn’t left a lot of room for contemplation, new ideas or much of anything but the bare necessities.  I have felt removed from the blogosphere too.  I [...]

The Last Resort in Exercise?

Flirty Girl. Holy Schiznit. Even the opening music of this website makes me cringe. Gah! I’m not going to diss (yeah, I just said diss) Flirty Girl’s results because I think that dance and fitness can show remarkable results and for some this is what is needed to motivate them to exercise. I will admit [...]

I’m Spider Bait and More

I feel like a fang banger today. A spider bit the inside of my thigh in two spots this past weekend. The next night, it happened again on the other leg. Yesterday morning I woke up looking straight into the eyes of another spider. Yeah, fall! I keep seeing scenes from Aracnophobia playing out in [...]

I’m at Your Service. If You Want.

Last week I cried ‘do over!’ and I kept my promise. I met my goal. I worked out five times last week. It is the same bat time, same bat channel again this week. Five times. Yes, my knees are popping more than a box of cereal and I a bit more exhausted than I [...]

Mummy Needs A Do Over

Oh my. Let’s just put it all out there for a minute, shall we? Since Blogher I have been the most ridiculous glutton. I can’t pass up a cookie, cupcake, candy, plate of fries or Eggs Benedict even if it doesn’t have my name on it. I’ll feel guilty for eating badly a few days [...]
