Chase = mace?

January 31, 2011

So yesterday, my training plan dictated that I had a 17 miler ahead.  I was mentally ready for this long run (my longest distance to date!) but the snow earlier this week blocked off 2 of my favorite trails, so I was a little unsure as to how this was all going to go down. [...]

Babe on a budget! What to do with mealy apples

January 30, 2011

Jeff and I spent our Saturday afternoon at the happiest place on earth. Disney World.  Wegman’s. The closest location is about a half-hour drive from where we live and so we don’t manage to make it there every weekend.  And a half-hour on a Saturday is 90 minutes in weekday DC traffic.  I’d say we go once [...]

the new brgr in town

January 29, 2011

I live in a bubble.    I work 1200 paces (roughly a third of a mile) from my apartment and my gym is only 2 blocks farther.  The Giant is a half mile in the other direction from my apartment, all of this area entirely 100% walkable.  My Weight Watchers meeting is [ironically] next door to our favorite sports [...]

Babe on a Budget: Make your own sushi!

January 26, 2011

Winter finally arrived in Arlington today.   An early dismissal from work and a cancelled RPM class meant one thing: I had the evening off.  I already went to BODYPUMP this morning, so I decided to finally break out something I recently bought but hadn’t had a chance to use.  My own at home sushi kit. I [...]

My trifecta

January 25, 2011

I mentioned the other day that this January has been one of the best, happiest Januarys on record.  And it’s still on the up and up!  It’s amazing how when you choose health, self-esteem follows.  (Hmm… I should write a blog about that! ) Anyway, I’ve been thinking lately about my diet.  I’m very satisfied with my weight loss [...]

Intervention

January 23, 2011

Last night I held an intervention. Things were way out of control. Things had reached a critical mass And the important things were not being taken care of I adopted a zero tolerance attitude and we all finally came to an agreement about what will be done going forward (the clothes and I, that is).   [...]

So serious.

January 22, 2011

I feel like things around these parts have been a liiiittle too serious.    I guess that’s what a budget, a weight loss goal, and a marathon coming up can do to a gal. To start the weekend off right, here are 3 things that made me laugh out loud this week: 1) Melissa’s statement that [...]

It all counts

January 21, 2011

I’ve always been a numbers person.  Math came fairly easy to me in school.  I scored a 730 out of 800 on the math SAT (under the old format) which was a feat I was quite proud of at the time.  {Obvs, because I still know the exact score.} My full time job requires me to [...]

January 20, 2011

So, I made up some New Year’s resolutions but I didn’t want to publish at first them because it didn’t feel right. (source) But now it feels right. Maybe I just needed a little time to get to know 2011.   Here are the big ones: 1.  I have declared Summer 2011 as THE HOTTEST SUMMER [...]

Not so Spring fever

January 17, 2011

Sorry I haven’t blogged lately.  I got attacked by a vampire. Haha just kidding It was  just a super crazy week last week, ok this year so far.  But I made it through budget season and launch season and now the Ravens season is over, so I’m here!  Before I move on, here are a couple [...]
