Yesterday was a good day. On all fronts …work, working out, friends. And it felt great. Not that I’d been unhappy by any means, but I just hadn’t been as happy as I could be. And today it’s like I have a whole new outlook on life. I can’t stop smiling. I love it. Hopefully… Continue Reading

Technology problems & Strawberry salads
It has taken me all night to download photos off my camera. I’m annoyed, frustrated and exhausted. I now have lion on my mac instead of whatever was there before and somehow the Cannon software I’ve always used to import my photos isn’t compatible. And no matter how much google research I do, I can’t… Continue Reading
The anti Hood to Coast weekend
So this weekend I was supposed to run Hood To Coast but if you recall from here, I decided to listen to my body, particularly my knees, and sit this year out. And guess what? It sucked. No matter how much I tried to tell myself that it was for the best, that I… Continue Reading
Pilates arms
Um, can we just talk about arms for a second? Look at these. I feel like they’re kind of ridiculous. Ps taking pictures of yourself in a bathroom is awkward. I walked into the bathroom and felt like my arms were super toned. You know, sometimes you get that feeling like after a workout all… Continue Reading

Happy Monday + Grilled sweet potatoes

I realized I can’t remember the last time I actually sat outside in my Adirondack chair drinking coffee… Continue Reading
Cutting back on carbs
Not sure if my body has finally adjusted or what but this morning I got up at 5am to work out and I don’t feel like a tired zombie yet…Technically the night is still early so who knows, I may wind up in bed by 9… we shall see. Let’s just hope my body’s not… Continue Reading
This heat is too much…too much
Look closely at this picture. Notice anything strange? Ooooh, right. Portland is never supposed to be 108 degrees. Ever. Now granted my car was sitting directly in the sun so it wasn’t quite that hot but when I get into the car and can’t touch anything – the seats, the steering wheel, my sunglasses…I kind… Continue Reading
Be Inspiring
Apologies for the lo-res image quality and the fact that I can’t figure out the original source but I had to share this. Jillian Michaels shared this on her Facebook wall yesterday and I fell in love with it. Such a great message!! This has been going through my head all day. I think my… Continue Reading
