I will always miss you...
A friend of mine passed away right before Christmas. I was completely shocked. I have had four important people die before that had made an impact on me. But I was not prepared for a friend, someone close in age to die. At first I didn’t believe my friend who called to give me the bad news. I thought she was joking. A very cruel joke. Or maybe he was joking. I guess that was what I...

I have been watching a lot of ‘Roseanne’ lately. I got the first and eighth seasons for Kristmas(thanks mom and dad!!). It is also playing on t.v. everyday. Darlene kills me. She is soooo sarcastic. Funny stuff. I love Dan as well. He is such a stand up guy.
I really like that sarcastic humour is such an integral part of the show.

Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories- Tails
I absolutely loved(still love) this album in highschool. I listened to it constantly. I love her voice and the way she sings. Very poetic.
‘Stay’ played on the radio the other day. I realized that I didn’t have the c.d. because I lent it to someone and never got it back. I love every single song!
A little known factoid about Krista is...

There is some really good information and ideas in this video. Kris Carr, once again, proves to be an inspiration.
I turned off the t.v., I am going to do some yoga and then blast some tunes!! After that…read ‘CrazySexyDiet’, of course!!
Thanks Kris!

I got up at 7am! Yay! I went to the gym, walked on the treadmill for 20mins., then yoga for an hour and a half. After that back to Mr. Treadmill for another 20mins., this time running.
Now I am chilling out watching ‘what not to wear’.
So far a good day.

I just finished my post workout lunch. I made a dee-lish Lebanese lentil salad. I will post the recipe. I had never cooked lentils before, okay well they came from a can, but this is the first time I have ever made anything with them.
I had fun at the gym today. I ran on the treadmill again. I have to go everyday to run. Rest one day a week. Must run…have to run. I was on the...

I ran and I ran and I ran...
We went to the gym today. I decided to treadmill it up. I have been taking it easy on the treadmill thus far. They scare me. But I decided that if I really want to run a marathon I gotta make friends with Mr. Treadmill. I walked for 5 minutes then ran for 3 minutes, etc. I was on the treadmill for 35 minutes. Then did my abs and legs. James was done with the personal trainer and we did 15...

I had another session with our personal trainer today. He wants to see my food journal. I am nervous about showing him. I keep the food/wellness journal for myself. To keep myself accountable. He was surprised that I already had a journal, I guess not a lot of his customers do this.
I am thoroughly enjoying having a personal trainer. I think I might sign up for some more sessions. They...

What's in a name?
It’s funny, when I was a kid I hated my last name. I always thought that it sounded goofy. But, over the past couple of years I have learned to love it and have become very proud of it. I realized how much yesterday at the gym. On my entry card they had spelt it with an extra ‘E’. This infuriated me. I went to the front desk and asked if she could make a new card(politely). She...
Owwwww.....
Every muscle in my body hurts. Like serious hurt. I am going to tiger balm it up. The gym was so awesome yesterday. I am so happy I decided to go back. Tomorrow is James’ first day. Yikes! I think once he gets into it he will like it. Today I am going to try and figure out this sewing machine. It comes with a DVD and Martha Stewart approves the machine. Can’t be that hard…famous...
Oh farts.
Well, I just finished my first day back at the gym. I am going to be soooo sore tomorrow. I doubt I will be able to walk. Felt good to be in a gym. I missed it so much!! Yay for yoga! Yay for sweat! Yay for personal trainers!
In my after workout haze I went to Lulu Lemon and bought a yoga mat bag. Overpriced but I can’t stand not having my mat. It grosses me out to think that I am putting...

Happy friggin' New Year!!!
Well today is the first day of 2011. A year full of promise. The year I become an adult. Dammit. Many things to accomplish this year. I am excited.
Starting the new year and making resolutions are things I take really seriously. I haven’t ever had so much hope for a new year to begin. Fresh start. I realized a lot of things last year. It was a hard year but taught me a lot about me and what...
