Running through life while balancing healthy eating and single motherhood
You have heard me rant about the people who forget to eat. You have even heard me question those who fail to get up in the morning to squeeze in their workout. I decided that those same people also fall into the category of Waiting For Monday. Are you one of them? It’s okay, you can tell me. Are […]
The rain yesterday morning was a bit insane. If you live in the New York area, you know what I mean by insane (13 inches over a couple of hours?!) and if you don’t live near here, you probably don’t care and can just take my word on it that it was excessive and crazy. I […]
Good morning 2014! I had no intentions of being out last night. In fact, I can’t recall the last New Year’s Eve that I spent in a restaurant or anywhere outside of a friend’s house or the comforts of my own home. I was not exactly in the fa-la-la mood as you may or […]
I really shouldn’t have labeled this post as a Part Two. I mean, sequels are not usually as good as the original. Except maybe Back To The Future, Part Two. I really liked that movie. But was it better than the first? Not so sure. This post is more of a follow-up, more of my attempt […]
I wasn’t going to post today but felt the need to pop in and tell you that 12 years ago this morning I took a spin class. Yes, I realize this may sound of very little importance but let me explain. I still recall the spin class I took 12 years ago this morning […]
Even though I am a morning person, you should know it is getting harder and harder to get out of bed in the morning. It is cold and dark and my bed is so warm and inviting. It is a cruel world I tell you. It doesn’t take me long though to adjust to being […]
I know you spent your weekend wondering if I found time to make the donuts. Oh…You bet I did. I actually squeezed in some baking time late Saturday afternoon before I went out for dinner. Sushi. Amazing. Sorry. No Pictures. I really wasn’t in the mood to bake but I felt that the activity would keep […]
My love for Oprah started in the third grade. While I was still wrapped up in playing Barbie dolls, my good friend Kelly was way ahead of me. One afternoon during our play date, she introduced me to Phil Donahue… and then Oprah. Donahue was fine but Oprah, well Oprah will forever hold a special place in […]
Sometimes the questions that come out of my son’s mouth shock me. “How do you do all that you do and do it so well?” This question really came out of left field. I think it may even contain a compliment. The answer is, I don’t know how I do all that I do and sometimes I […]
I want to thank you all for the comments yesterday – even though I knew I wasn’t alone in my feelings regarding motherhood and life’s struggles, it is always great to hear everyone else’s experiences and approaches to difficult situations. Everyone has their coping mechanisms and ways they handle day-to-day stress; we all know I love to run and always say […]
My run yesterday morning started out terrible. That first mile felt like forever. My legs were screaming to stop. But I didn’t stop. NOPE. You see, I know the difference in the kind of screams that come from my legs. Sometimes the screams are legitimate and need to be listened to immediately. And then sometimes, my legs […]
You see this? Hmm. I wonder if the people at Verizon saw yesterday’s post and are trying to toy with me. They must know that I hate retrieving my mail from the mailbox so why not torture the poor girl with useless flyers in her front door. I must say, writing up yesterday’s post made […]
