This was inspired after a run in the heat for Run.Blog.Give. The sweat was getting in my eyes and driving me nuts, but I don’t own any headbands. Then, BAM I remembered I needed to do something with a T-shirt sleeve for this challenge. This project can be as easy as you want it to [...]

Operation Purple Dress Update – Dress ready!
I did it! It fits and it’s now altered (dress shortened to one length and straps added). Had a fitting yesterday and picked it up. So excited to see the final product…and to fit in it! What in the world, Ellie?! Such a troublemaker! This is one happy bridesmaid. Can’t wait for Erin’s wedding! So, [...]
Pin ItRun. Blog. Give. and Tri Training Update
So, remember when I said I was doing the Iron Girl Triathlon? I’m kind of starting to FREAK OUT! Yeah. Even though I’ve been staying active and eating better (and losing 31 pounds since January), I really haven’t been “training”. To swim 1000 m, bike 17.5 miles, and run a 5K with no training sounds [...]
Coffee, I’m breaking up with you.
Dear (cup of) Joe, I loved making love to you in my Keurig. For the first time, it was so nice that I could have my single cup of whatever flavor I want and it was perfect every time. Our relationship was strained back in the Mr. Coffee days. How much coffee to put in? [...]
Pin ItYard Sale Jackpot!
Looks like we didn’t win the Mega Millions jackpot, after all. But, weekends in Spring can be a great time to find some steals at yard sales in your area! Think of all those people in the midst of cleaning out… I almost drove past this yard sale, but something caught the corner of my [...]
First down, 40 to goal!
I have no idea why I just tried to make that sound all football like. The only things I know about football came from watching Friday Night Lights on Netflix. Good show, FYI. Any-who… Guess who has two thumbs and lost her first 20 pounds since January… THIS GIRL! Once we get closer to the [...]
Just keep swimming…just keep swimming…
Today, Ellie had her FIRST SWIM CLASS! I barely slept last night I was so excited! (Okay, that may not have been the actual reason.) I have high hopes that Ellie will love swimming as much as her momma does and that some day she might want to be on a swim team. They say [...]
Best. Diet. Ever.
The good news is… I’m down 16 pounds since January 1st. (The bad news is my pants don’t seem to fit any different. What’s up with that?) I have Ellie’s 6mo birthday to thank for this miraculous weight loss. Not only am I burning calories by breastfeeding and taking walks with the stroller and hitting [...]
Self-improvement meets house-improvement
Thought I’d fill you in with my progress for Operation Purple Dress… Not sure if I’ve lost any weight since our scale is temperamental, but, I’ve been 95% good about following my rules. One drink a week, no regular soda, working out, dancing with the baby, walking more… all happening. We’re also eating home a [...]
Saturday Derailment and Guilt
Saturday night was a rough night. Had my friend watching Ellie so we could go out to a birthday dinner. I was excited to get out of the house with the hubby and see some friends we don’t see very much. I had myself all prepared with what I was going to order. I knew [...]
