Last week was a hard week. I was dealing with a couple of really stressful things, as well as just having a lot going on. And I responded poorly. I skipped a few workouts and I ate my feelings. (And then I went to Costco and bought ALL the carbs so I could continue eating…

If nothing else, February is shorter
January is over. It seriously may have been 9,354,200 days long. Or just 31 of the longest days ever. My kids barely attended school even though we really didn’t have that much snow. In fact, with today’s late start, we now have an entire week where they did not go a single full day. Last…
Tips for Staying Fit in your 40s
Confession: I’m nearer to the end of my 40s than the beginning of my 40s. In fact, it won’t be long and I’ll be talking about fitness in my 50s. Gulp. But I have a goal of still running races in my 80s, or maybe even my 90s, so I need to focus now on…

Because coffee is its own food group…
Have you ever had a week where you are pretty sure that without coffee you would have fallen asleep standing up? This was definitely one of those weeks. I’ve been really good at getting a decent amount of sleep lately, until this week. The combination of a short month (which meant cramming my usual number…
January Ultimate Coffee Date because BRRR…
I can’t believe it’s been a year since I last had coffee wth everyone. I don’t post on the weekends these days and I never seem to remember to post the Friday beforehand. I like combining Friday Five and Coffee, I’m just a slacker apparently. But I’ve been drinking so much coffee to stay warm…
