Last week, I started putting my goals on FB each morning as a way to stay accountable. As the days passed, I found myself being more comfortable if I did not meet every goal. I was happy to be making better choices, and have something to reach for each and every day. So, oddly, the …
Within 2 minutes of my mom answering my phone call on Mother's Day she started to apologize to me for not checking in on me by phone more while I've been sidelined from life with a broken foot. Immediately reminded her I can just as easily pick up the phone, which I hadn't done a …
I'm not doing great with checking in on my monthly goals lately. Here's to trying again, because it's not about being perfect, it's about progressing. Stick to the Point(s) I started using Weight Watchers again back in March. I have been a bit haphazard with use of it, and my lack of progress shows it. …
It's been an interesting month. Not much in the way of working out after breaking my foot in the first couple of days of the month, and a lot of sitting around, which is the antithesis of my norm. But, it's given me an opportunity to experience new things, and I'm learning how to deal …
It's been 23 days since breaking my foot. It feels like a lifetime. Doing anything, everything, takes more time and energy. I'm beyond frustrated. After falling and catching myself with my broken foot for the third weekend in a row, I couldn't sleep last night. I read "The Girl on the Train" in its entirety …

March was pretty spectacular, considering I haven't been able to run. Warm weather makes me happy. It makes me excited to get up, excited to be outside, excited to be in such a fabulous city. As spring arrives, the idea of trying new, healthy recipes keeps me happy regardless of the weather. This month, I'm …

I am overweight. There. I said it. It's out in the world. I've struggled with my weight since I was a kid. Running, at times, has made managing it easier. But marathon training last fall, combined with a disappointing performance in that race, let to a downward spiral. I've stopped listening to my healthy …
A few weeks ago I posted about being invited to participate in a group run and launch party with Nike Run Club+ here in Chicago. When the day arrived, I was less excited, because it was cold (around 25 degrees), windy (gusts of over 30 mph), and snowing. Those are not ideal running conditions! …
