Some of my least favorite words strung together are “I’m sorry but.” The use of those words tell me what poster is about to say is self serving and mean, and they really are not sorry that they are on the attack.I see those words and finish the sentence in my head… I am insecureContinue reading “I’m sorry, but…”

I have dubbed this the #mountainsandmusicbirthdaytrip The two main focal points of this trip were a Garth Brooks concert Saturday night and a 5.6 mile hike – Angels’ Landing at Zion National Park, the rest wasContinue reading “The pants didn’t fit…”
Fitting in….to my new hiking capris
Saturday is normally a no-brainer. Unless I am away or have something preventing it, I either go kickboxing or hiking. But this past Saturday morning I woke up, rolled over, looked at the clock and decided Andrea at 930am instead of Tully 8am, but as time grew closer I realized neither. I hopped on theContinue reading “Fitting in….to my new hiking capris”
Then I painted my finger nails
Healthy is hard. Eating well takes work and planning. Exercise takes effort. Self-care takes prioritizing yourself. Sometimes I just don’t feel like putting in the work. Plopping on the couch is easy, grabbing some premade whatever to eat is easy. Saying tomorrow is easy… I was in a little bit of a healthy slump. IContinue reading “Then I painted my finger nails”
Summer starts…..Now!
As I sat at the airport yesterday, these words flowed from me and I shared them in my different FB groups that all originated from Weight Watchers in one shape or form… 86400 seconds…one day…fleeting moments…what do we latch onto? Vacation is over..we’re at the airport waiting to board our plane. I’m choosing to leaveContinue reading “Summer starts…..Now!”

When she was good, She was veryContinue reading “100 days to summer….meh… who cares”
70 days until summer…I am but human
So I was on a roll, in a rhythm, exercise – check, sleeping well – check, good food choices 80/20 – check; scale was down 3lbs and holding and then wham… life… and I face planted, literally and figuratively. Got an email my 7am #cko class was canceled and instead of going to another locationContinue reading “70 days until summer…I am but human”
When the stranger shows up
I had an amazing weekend. Friday night a last minute decision for date night with hubby.. dinner and a live show “Get the Led Out” a Led Zeppelin inspired band. Awesome time, delicious food, great music. Saturday morning a heart pumping slightly painful #cko #tullytime workout.. felt a little twinge in my hamstring during aContinue reading “When the stranger shows up”
When the volcano blows
I hear the rush of water from a distance growing louder and louder the closer I get. It’s exciting and peaceful at the same time. I arrive at the base of the falls and the rush of the water catches hold of me. I find myself lost in the movement and the frenzy yet IContinue reading “When the volcano blows”
Reflections
It’s inevitable. As much as I tell myself I am not going to do that thing at the end of the year and “reflect”… I think it is just human nature to take stock in ourselves every so often. And since the rest of the world is screaming new year, re-set.. well it’s a littleContinue reading “Reflections”
