A crow. A crow goes CAW! CAW! I was telling my boyfriend about this story… and tried to make a crow sound… So I said “caw-caw! caw-caw!” Boyfriend: “Hmmm… I don’t think thats a crow.” Dez: “Ok.. how about “Ma-caw! Ma-caw!”” Boyfriend: “Umm… no. But Macaw is the name of a bird, so you’re getting closer.” Dez: “ugggh… [...]

Celery for dinner, changed my commute to work by walking 4 miles a day 7 days a week. Yoga. No pasta, no breads. Only fruits, veggies, protein (YES, even organic chicken is back!) and multigrains. I eat every 3 hours, fruits, cheeses, veggies, grains…so I’m not starving. Scale hasn’t budged and INCH. NOTHING! What the heck is [...]

(gym rat… get it!??? CUUUUTE) I’m not here to crap talk gyms…because they do serve a good purpose. Most of them are very nice and well rounded places, great classes, great trainers, great equipment, great prices. I’m here to share a story of buyer beware.

I’m trying to get back into running. And by running, I mean trying not to kill myself out of sheer frustration and throwing myself off a bridge. I realize I’m getting older, but is 26 REALLY too old to start running? I’ve always been super athletic, softball, PT in JROTC, volleyball, cheerleading, chasing kids around [...]

So to speak. After my failed 5K I knew I needed a break. And I took it. I had some other medical crap to deal with that made me take a break from working out, per doctors recommendation. In addition, I was really just looking for some social interaction. Having a workout buddy is a [...]
