Earth Day Resolutions

Happy Earth Day! I feel like it’s New Years all over again, as I’m finding myself making all sort of resolutions for Earth Day: Get our new bike trailer set up so I can take Ellie further without driving.  We used our REI 20% coupon and dividends to pick one up.  Our town is set [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Week One of GymPact – Thoughts and Reflections

It’s sad that I need my iPhone and some app to motivate me to hit the gym more often.  But, I’ll get over that.  I just completed one week of using GymPact. (Don’t know how much $$ I’ve raked in, though.  Will add an update when I find out.)  UPDATE:  Found out I earned $1.72 [...]

Hit the gym or pay the piper

Just found out about this new service called GymPact. It “lets you set the financial stakes of not getting to the gym, plus earn real cash for every workout you committed – paid for by those who didn’t get to the gym!” You check in to your gym with your iPhone and check out at [...]

Finding Fitness, yet again!

For years, like so many others, I have made a resolution to “lose weight”.  So cliché… and usually unsuccessful.  A couple of summers ago I did my first sprint triathlon with friends. It was really low key and I was thrilled to finish under my goal of two-hours.  But, since the beginning of my pregnancy [...]

Starting off 2012 with Resolve

First, I resolve to use Resolve (or similar product) on some carpet spots. Ahh, the joys of pet ownership and a muddy yard. May even break out our tiny steam cleaner. This little babe is going to be scooting and crawling across this indoor landscape before we know it and I want it to be [...]
