when life hands you lemons, take a break.

March 13, 2012

As you may have noticed, blogging has been kind of ‘light’ around here the last few weeks or so. Sadly, this will continue for at least another two weeks.

This week my goal is to keep a positive outlook on everything! I believe that life is short. Embrace it while you have it. I’m addicted to catching up on my DVR. We never watch TV live. And our DVR is full almost all of the time. I wish for Ben, on the Bachelor, to [...]

Lacking motivation

February 16, 2012

Confession: I’ve been in a serious workout funk. I’ve always been religious about working out, both with gym workouts and with regular yoga classes. And lately I just find myself lacking motivation almost entirely. There have been workouts, but they are not nearly as intense as they were just a couple months ago. I tend [...]
