My walk yesterday morning was gorgeous – it was already 73 degrees, but there was a slight breeze and I managed to squeeze in a 30 minute walk before work.  Do you guys know the app Spotify?  My friend Natalie (Hi Nat!) made a play list for our 101 Days of Summer Challengers, but here’s the thing.  I thought Spotify was an app to tell...

Our little group of 101 Days of Summer Challenge on Facebook is quite inspiring.  I love that we are all giving each other ideas on how to get in more water, move if you are stuck studying in the library, or help with meal planning.  My long time blog friend Errign (we’ve “known” each other since January of 2009 I think?) put this on our...

I am loving our group of 44 strong women who have joined the 101 Days of Summer Challenge.  There is both an email string and a group on Facebook, and every time I saw an email or someone post on Facebook, it was just a little tap on the shoulder that I need to stay focused not just for me, but for the 44 other...

Another whirlwind weekend is in the books, and I really couldn’t be happier about it.  It’s taken me a while to get used to the idea that I can do whatever I want, when I want.  Friday night Hannah called me at work around 3:00 – she’d gotten a text from one of the thrift stores we go to that all women’s clothing was going...

My car has built in Sirius radio and it’s free for the first three months of having my car, and I have until June 15 to decide if I want to keep it.  I am on the fence.  It is nice to have commercial free radio, but just like the radio, if you listen to a particular station long enough, you do end up hearing...

Whoever came up with the idea of baking eggs in ham is a genius.  It’s simple, easy, and can literally bake while you take your morning shower.  Better yet you could make a dozen of these at once and have breakfast made all week.  They are cook right out of the oven, and also taste good at room temp.  I only made two before work. ...

The photos from the Spartan Race were posted online yesterday.  I will admit when I first saw them all I saw was how fat I was, how big my belly was, how if I were even ten pounds lighter it would have made the whole race a lot easier.  But then I told myself to shut the fuck up.  I DID A SPARTAN RACE.  I...

I am thrilled to have 22 of you join me in rocking this 101 Days of Summer Challenge.  I love all your goals and I think together, we can achieve them.  I had two thoughts on communicating with each other – I can do a blind copy email to the group and anyone can respond to “all” or I could create a new private Facebook...

I downloaded a preview of Roni and Carla’s book #WYCWYC (or Wick Wick) to my Kindle app before it was available for sale.  I put it in my “basket” but until last week, I had forgotten I hadn’t actually purchased it! I am only 1/4 of the way through it, but so far, I love it.  I “met” Roni somewhere around 2008 when I found...

Look at me with a Mishmash Friday like Shelley and Fran!  While I have been writing about my Spartan Race life has been going on behind the scenes.  I did want to show a few pics I took while in Milwaukee.  I had every intention Sunday morning to walk around the lake front, but the weather was iffy – it was lightly sprinkling the whole...
