How to Pedal Your Way to Happiness

May 15, 2011

Tonight I find myself sitting on the couch, belly stuffed with Afghan dinner delicacies followed by gelato.  My hip is padded with Salonspas patches to try to alleviate the pain….and my inner self is happy. Content. Confident. You see today…today was all about me pushing down the barriers of fear that have been built in [...]

Reclaiming Me: The Final Straw

April 10, 2011

Bathing suits. Dresses. Jeans. Pants.  I have been on the hunt for clothing lately. In part because we are going away for spring break in seven days. But also?  Because nothing in my closet fits.  Nothing.  I have been wearing the same two pairs of pants for the last few months, tricking myself into disbelief. [...]

Reclaiming Me: New Steps

March 27, 2011

As runners go, I am a penguin—or maybe a turtle. Step after step,  I am slow and steady.  My legs will eventually get me to my finish line…but it is not always pretty. The fact of the matter is that I became a runner in part by accident and in part out of principle.  A [...]

Reclaiming Me: Trying to see the Positive

February 27, 2011

Another week.  Truth be told, it was a good week as far as weeks go.  There were the blips of Principessa not feeling great, being busy, and not getting every single workout in…but then again, none of that is truly out of the ordinary. Rocket and I had a great date night, I got a [...]

February 21, 2011

Sometimes reclaiming means being honest.

I became helpless. I [...]

Reclaiming: It is all about the journey

January 23, 2011

Week 2 I have to admit….this was a hard week to reclaim myself. I found myself sad more than happy. I found myself frustrated more than not. And I found myself feeling defeated. That said, I felt stronger physically (though sore beyond belief)…..and clearer about my thoughts, my needs, and my priorities.  Which I guess [...]

And away we go with P90x

January 16, 2011

2011-01-16 Here we are…. week 1 of my formal Reclaiming myself on the inside and out!  Some of you may be wondering what happened to the mamavation campaign? I was not chosen for the finals…but that is ok.  Well…. I admit it. I felt deflated and a bit bruised in the ego that not only [...]

January 9, 2011

2011-01-09 So I am going to get creative with this week’s Mamavation Monday post. I am going to combine this post- (you will see why in a minute or so) with all.things.fadra Stream of Consciousness Sunday. Because, my brain is fried right now. So many emotions. So much thinking. So instead of organizing my thought, [...]
