Fitness, Parenthood, Writing
Up until the other side of the age of 13, I couldn’t even tell the lady at the register at McDonald’s that I wanted a six piece nugget meal when my family and I went out for our usual Friday night family date. My mother would tell her what she wanted, what she wanted for […]
Read MoreA few weeks ago on the way down to Boston, a conversation arose about training and trainers. Pretty much everyone I know knows my stance on just what I think a trainer should be, and it’s shocking to me to discover that there are people out there who don’t hold to even half the standards […]
Read MoreAbout two weeks ago, my mother asked me to keep an eye on their dog, Henry, for 10 minutes while she talked with one of my father’s customers. Easy enough, right? Henry is a 10 month old yellow Labrador retriever who is lazy as all get out, but has spunk. He is the exact opposite […]
Read MoreBack when I was in high school, we had ICQ, AIM and MSN Instant Messenger. We had emails and live journals. We chatted with friends, wrote about the trials of our young adulthood and that was the end of the story. Now in the age of social media expansion, all of that has changed. I […]

Read MoreAh, a dogs life. It must be a great one. Or at least for dogs in my family anyway. Spoiled filthy rotten, treated like humans, loved unconditionally… all while getting to just hang out and do diddly all day long. Jealousy of my four-legged child runs deep some days. Particularly when I’m neck deep in […]
Read MoreI can’t say that for my entire life I’ve always had a back up plan, but I can say that it is true one for everything I’ve ever done has been in place for as long as I can remember. I learned very early on that disappointment, well, sucks. I didn’t like the way it […]
Read MoreI’ve got about four or five blogs that have been waiting in the wings for my recuperation from walking pneumonia. Waiting for me to be able to keep my eyes open long enough to pound them out. Today marks Day #1 of feeling well enough to meet the task, and blog #1 of what’s been […]
Read MoreIf you’re like me, you probably cringe when you’re standing in the “healthy” aisle of your local grocer while reading the ingredients list of that wall of protein and energy bars before you.
