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… [...]

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 [...]

The answer is yes…everyone plateaus. I dont understand the science behind busting through one…but eating less and exercising more is NOT the way to do it. I asked advice from my friends and family, and my bff Dana told me to change up my workouts! That makes sense, work on different areas of my body. [...]

Don’t get me wrong, I love being a vegetarian.. Ordering at a restaurant isn’t a problem, making 3 meals a day is perfectly fine. I just have a weird ‘stuck’ feeling…and quite literally…a plateau. The scale hasn’t budged an inch (good thing its not going up either!) And I’m trying not to be numbers-on-the-scale obsessed, but [...]
