Say it. Commit. Launch.

I'm a runner.

No, I'm not a runner... but I run.

So, I am a runner... but I'm new.
I've always ran as exercise. But not for fun..
Am I making any sense?

I'm training for my first half marathon. I'm even going to register this time.

Progress.



Side Note:: If you know me, you know I'm all over the board, all the time. If you don't know me, you have probably already stopped reading because you think I'm a nut job.

Either way, works for me.

Back to my topic.

What I'm learning into my first week of training.

It's a complete mental process. Which is hard for me. As you read, I'm all over the board. So I go back and forth. Plus commitment is really hard for me.

I'm good with a mile run. Heck, even 3. Because my Fitbit challenges are the real deal y'all.

True story bro... Just as the regulars in our challenge.

So now, I know I'm training for something so much bigger than me. So much more than I've ever committed to before, I have to rewind and remember why I want to do this.

And this is why;

I need something to challenge me, every. single. day.

One of my biggest fears is that I cannot do it. I plan to prove myself wrong.

This is against myself, and myself alone.

I'm on week 11 of learning about my body.

I am on a journey of learning to enjoy my journey. Week 11 update: I'm loving it.

I'm tackling my annoyance of music selection.

I get to enjoy my hardcore rap with no judgment.

I have something to prove. No, not to you, to me.

I want to finally finish something hard.

I want to finally finish something I said I would.

I want to be stronger.


I've found the best workout to help your breathing technique for a runner. At least... it's working for me. Try rowing.

Can we talk about friends?

And trying to impress people we don't like? Dave Ramsey has this great quote: "We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like." I don't necessarily do the money part, but a few things have happened in the past month that created a huge "Woah" moment for me! For years, I have wondered why certain neighbors don't ask me and my husband to hang out more. I would get upset to find out there was a gathering that we weren't invited to. Of course, when I do have the chance to talk to these people, I realize that I don't have much in common with them, or we just don't "jive." But still. For years, I have wondered why certain groups of friends gather and hang out, and I wouldn't be invited. Of course, when I did have a chance to gather and hang out, I didn't exactly enjoy myself or feel comfortable. But still. Recently, I realized someone unfriended me on Facebook. Someo

Plant base

Okay... Okay. Before I get into the details. Here's my disclaimer. We are not 'Vegan' we are not 'Vegetarians'. We are on a plant based 'diet' for 2 weeks. We're testing the waters. We've watched a few shows, we've read several stats, and we've done some of our own research, we've heard first hand testimonies. So, we're trying it out. Day 3 is almost complete. I haven't felt bloated. And I have slept SO well. As soon as this week hits, I will go without alcohol too. So that added in, I think is going to amp up weight loss too. I do know that alcohol sabotages my weight loss. So I will cut that out too. However, weight loss isn't the goal of trying out plant base dieting. The goal is health. I was to be healthy on the inside as well as looking healthy on the outside. I can't wait to share results as they come!

sur·ren·der (it's a verb)

It felt like someone had taken my heart out of my chest, threw it up against a wall, let it fall to the ground and then stomped on it while it was on the floor. The 2nd round felt like my heart had never really been put back where it goes, and someone played soccer with it where it fell out before. I'm not sure I can describe how much I hurt in any other way. But I can tell you now, a couple weeks later. I know I'm going to be okay. Because this isn't about me. I know as a Christian I am to love others, as I love myself. I know I am to forgive, as I have been forgiven. Those two features don't come very easy. Like, at all. I want to share all these things about how I cannot stand my ex husband, and his wife. But this isn't about them either. My youngest boy has expressed wanting to live with this father. Visiting me, and living there. This is the same guy who has a felony DUI charge because he put my two boys in the car with him and drove while under
