Mr. Matt and I were watching the first Redskins game last night (go Skins!! We beat the Colts! HAHA!!) and we were talking a lot about motivation. I told him how I would think about painting, think about going for a walk, think about doing a li... Read more

Matt is very slowly coming back to life. He is still in a lot of pain and continues to wake me up in the middle of the night to get him ice or meds or a re-wrap on his arm. I'm exhausted, but there is a bright side to all of this -- he can't m... Read more

Ok a quick peek for you, MR!! In other new... I rewarded myself this weekend for all sorts of things! Taking care of my poor honey, paying off a credit card (!), and of course, being good to myself with healthy eating and working out! Wha... Read more

It feels like listening to your favorite song... It feels like a good hug, the kind where you keep on squeezing.... It feels like sunshine on your face... It feels like dancing when no one is looking... It feels like a big belly laugh, t... Read more

I lost 3 pounds?!?!?!? I think a lot of it was probably just waiting to come off considering that I had been teetering around the 130 area for several weeks, but seriously? Yesterday the little red numbers told me "129". Today they said "... Read more

Right now I feel like there is a lot more bad than good. Most of my stress is coming from the wedding planning, as nothing is done... It is incredibly frustrating. Last night I finally found out Matt's version of his perfect wedding... Totall... Read more

Well, bootcamp is almost over... I didn't do exactly what I was supposed to do. Coach Nicole did teach me a few new exercises, but the everyday 10 minute video thing just didn't work out for me. Or rather, I didn't work out for it. BUT... Read more

Stress dependent?

Sometimes you just don't know how you feel. I've been thrown pretty far off my game for the last 2 weeks or so... I did some spring cleaning and messed up my back pretty badly. It forced me to stay in bed for a few days, muscle relaxers... Read more
