I woke up when the alarm went off this morning. But it wasn't my alarm. It was Husband's alarm. That meant that it was almost 6, and an hour and a half later than I should've been waking up for my workout. You know how when you realize you've woken up late, you have that [...]
Mixed Bag
Per usual, I got on a roll, stuff came up, I stopped blogging, and now I'm all motivated again and ready to get this show on the road. So what's different this time? I hit a big milestone. I don't normally start workout programs and do them all the way through - I get bored, [...]

The New Year Bandwagon
