I think the word “selfish” often gets a bad rap. I think it also has to do with context and how someone being selfish affects others. Dictionary.com‘s definition is: devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one’s own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others. characterized by or manifesting concern or care […]

I love FB for connecting with people and seeing what they’re doing and their kids and cute cat photos and inspirational quotes and funny memes and silly videos… But man. Scrolling through and seeing all the #metoo (#я також in Ukrainian) posts has been heart breaking. Truly. Breaks my heart right open. I was also someone who […]
Manic Monday…
Oh, Monday. It’s so easy to hate you. Right? After a weekend that is supposed to leave you feeling relaxed (well, that’s the ideal at least…), in comes Monday. And almost immediately we feel the stress of the looming week ahead. Unless it’s a holiday weekend. LOL. The struggle is real. I get it. I […]
TBT: Ironman Race Report
In line with my Throwback Thursday theme, I thought I would re-post my Ironman race report from my July 2009 Lake Placid finish. It’s a bit of a story, but prior to getting into weight lifting I was an endurance athlete. I ran my first marathon in 2005 (another story there – I had no […]
“Make sure they match your purse…”
As I was rummaging through my gym bag for my music and gloves this morning, I was bummed to find that I had forgotten to pack my workout gloves. Homer Simpson moment. DOH! And I knew exactly where they were. Sitting on top of the washing machine in hopes of being washed, all stinky and […]
Silence is golden…duct tape is silver. ;)
T.G.I. freakin’ F. MAN, what a week. Sometimes I literally feel like this scene from Kindergarten Cop: I don’t know what it is. Full Moon? Kids being kids. The constant low level chatter just gets to me… I would love to do this. Ha ha! Not really. That would get me fired. LOL. I do […]
TBT: Competition Prep, Vol. 1
I’ve decided to start dedicating my Thursday posts to a “Throwback” theme. Woohoo! More #tbt in your feed! 😉 I’m considering competing again once the craziness of wedding planning has subsided (woohoo!), and it got me to thinking about my competition prep experience. I haven’t competed since November of 2014. It’s been awhile! I actually […]
The constant internal chatter…
It is exactly two months until our wedding. Eeeeeeeeeeek! I am both excited and overwhelmed by all that still needs to be done. But mainly excited. I CANNOT WAIT to marry this man. 😃 That being said, my head is constantly full of wedding “noise.” A lot of chatter. It’s like an ongoing buzz. White […]
Tomorrow is never promised. Live accordingly.
Man, this world can be a scary place. You just look at the news and it blows your mind away. Natural disasters. Shootings. Deaths. Lots of them. It’s hard to not start living from a place of fear. Fear of going out. Fear of doing anything. Fear of living your life. But is that really […]
“Don’t worry. Everything is under control.”
Do you ever feel like you life is out of control? Like, totally chaotic? I have been feeling a lot of that. Mainly at school. And in other areas of my life. Probably because I work 1 1/2 jobs and am planning a wedding. LOL. And it’s not even “controlled” chaos. It can be pretty […]
