I feel a little frantic right now, in a good way. I’m not usually a “woo hoo!” kind of girl, but right now, I just want to scream: “WOO FREAKIN’ HOO!” Short versio...
Today, I was feeling incredibly old as I sat in the gym of my old high school and watched my niece in her 8th grade recognition ceremony. It was a flood of memories sitting in the bleachers, remember...
So, it’s not REALLY a manic Monday, but it has been quite busy, thus my distracted blog post today. Over the weekend I put myself into a social situation that frankly scared the shit out of me ...
Happy Friday! I’m taking this format for today’s post from the awesome Emily of Fit and Free Emily. Here we go! 5 posts to check out: Life of a Binge Eater: A Snapshot – Speaking of...
I haven’t done many Q&A posts, so I thought I would try them out. You submit a question (it can be done anonymously if you want) and I’ll pick some questions to answer via video. Have...
It’s amazing what several months off of most exercise can do to your mind. Yes, your body is impacted negatively, but your mind seems to snap back into habits faster than you can blink. image v...
Most recently I’ve talked about postponing joy because of fear. It’s something that’s been on my mind a lot lately as I’m in some sort moody/introspective/meaning-of -life phas...
Rambling after too little sleep the past few nights… How many times in life have you postponed joy because of fear? This doesn’t have to do with weight loss or fitness necessarily –...
This video has been all over Facebook recently, but I never took the time to watch it until today when Roni posted it on her blog and I stayed still long enough to watch it. It’s been 5 minutes...
Quick note for this Sunday as I want to finish writing my first ever newsletter that is going out tomorrow. Sign up here if you’d like to get it. I was thinking of calling it “Emmie, Unfi...
You know what happens when you get wrapped up in joy from recalling amazing experiences and intense happiness as I did yesterday? You forget about pain. Real, physical pain. I was already unsteady on...
You guys, I try to stay away from the “woo-woo” things too much. You know, the things that are so! excitable! and! are! full! of! crazy! exclamation! points!? That’s a little bit ho...
When I woke up this morning, I was flooded with a memory. I’m not sure why it came to me all of a sudden – perhaps anxiety or fear or something deep in my subconscious. In any case, it ha...
Today I found myself back in the orthopaedists office, where I was last getting my purple cast cut off. There was a slight tingle in my ankle, but it wasn’t constant and was definitely much, mu...
When I was in middle school, I took my first trip to New York City. It was a school trip, and I was so excited to go. NYC represented the land of grown-up, successful, fancy people living in a metrop...
It feels like ages since I’ve been able to do much on my feet with my ankle injury. If ages equals several months, then it actually HAS been ages. Super frustrating and I lost my groove quite a...
This is just a silly post to display the shift in perception versus reality. My mental patience has been tested lately, and I’m working hard to overcome the feelings of inadequacy and self-doub...
Today, I am still. The day is busy, but my mind eases from the strain of overanalyzing what is wrong with me and why I can’t look a certain way or lose weight as quickly as I want to. The naggi...
Hi friends. Wow, it’s been a few days since I’ve posted! For some reason, I’ve overbooked myself like crazy this month. In the past 3 weeks I’ve been to Chicago and Nashville,...
Emmie Note: I get lots of emails from random companies and “gurus” who know nothing about my struggles or journey and want to guest post on this blog. I am really picky with guest posts b...
Last Thursday was my 31st birthday. It’s been difficult to really celebrate my birthday since my mom passed as the anniversary of her death and my birthday are only 2 days apart. Since I didn&#...

Last Monday, I woke up to my alarm clock and rolled over as usual to grab my phone and check my email before even wiping the crusties out of my eyes. Typically I just delete all the junk mail and the...
Less than 12 hours from now, hundreds of people will be finishing a race. Some will be super fast and others not-so-fast, but they will all finish. One year ago, I finished the race. I worked hard, p...

I’ve done some deep posts in the past week or so, and for today, all I have to say is… balls. That’s basically my way of saying my attitude is sucky right now. But sucky isn’t...
I’ve spent the weekend in a relaxed mood without anxiety from looming deadlines or chores that needed to be done. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this at peace without my head...
I have no idea how it is Wednesday already. I wanted to share a hodgepodge of things, so I guess humpday is a good day to do so! 1. I’m up for Best Weight Loss blog at Fitness Magazine! I wrote...
I’m happy to report that the boot is now off of my foot, and hopefully for good! I still have pain and stiffness, but I’m getting bumped up to physical therapy 3 times per week (versus 2)...
