I Choose Not to Let Go of the Wagon (March 30, 2013)
Old Westerns. Classic. You know during the big chase scene when some manlier-than-any-man guy is being tossed off the wagon by evil-guy-who-doesn’t-respect-women dude and super-great-guy just won’t be deterred from his cause or his true love? You know how he grabs onto the hub of the wheel or some rope hanging and the horses are…

I Choose Better Music (March 29, 2013)
Somebody needs to radically change workout music. Yes, I can MP3 my own stuff, but… …the musical selections on fitness videos has left a lot to be desired since the advent of the industry. Some music grooves at a fast tempo, but the subtle lyrics in the background is just not what I want to…

I Choose to Bask in the Sun (March 27, 2013)
Okay, so I don’t even know if it hit 40 today. What I do know is that my neighbor’s driveway gets great afternoon sun. I sat there, playing sidewalk chalk with Baby Dragon and her friend. Every few minutes the older boys would approach to ask me something about bike riding, snacks, or bike riding…

Four Tenths. Weight of the World. (March 26, 2013)
So this week is a whopping four tenths of a pound loss! And I’m celebrating it!! I definitely low on exercise and high on sodium this past week. But… …Ethnic Man had a slipped disc. All five children got sick at some point: stomach ache, colds, asthma attacks, bodily fluids emitting when they shouldn’t (’nuff…

Updates, Upgrades, Dusting, and Mopping (March 19, 2013)
Do these tasks consume your life? They do mine. And I don’t like it. My children say, “Mom, I want the super-duper-bleeper-blopper cause it does this and that and this and that and then it does that and this!” And I say, “Does it clean itself? Does it dust itself? Does it upgrade itself? Does…

I Lost the Heart Monitor (March 18, 2013)
Seriously, I did. I misplaced the watch. I put it on the counter next to my laptop to enter my numbers. I put the strap and clip away. Later in the day I said to myself, “Self, put that away.” But Self did not put it away. Then today when Self went to workout, she…

The Crew (March 13, 2013)
Estimated Reading Time: 2-3 minutes. My sister has a group of people she calls The Crew. For years they met weekly for brunch to catch up. I never knew exactly what they had to catch up on since they were a social entity, going everywhere together except to sleep and to work. Seriously,…

I Choose to Spend $$ (March 13, 2013)
Have you ever heard anyone say, “It’s not worth losing the weight because our finances are too tight; I can’t afford new clothes.” I have heard it. And if you haven’t, it’s possible I just outed you because you’ve thought those words. I’ve never said those words. But I’ve thought them. And afterwards, I’ve thought…

I Choose to Let My Yes Be Yes (March 12, 2013)
Last night’s workout revealed a 592-calorie burn on the elliptical. My heart monitor said 486. I said I would only use the heart monitor numbers. That’s what I entered into myfitnesspal. I do not like that I made that decision. I will abide by it. Ho hum.

I Choose to Not Repeat Past Mistakes (March 7, 2013)
…and today was one of those mistakes. Lots of driving. Gray skies. Dreary. Slushy. Many errands. Sleepy mommy. This is a recipe for disaster. Unexpected stops, not enough healthy food prepped beforehand. Not good. Not good. Not good! I was economically savvy and made wise food choices for the kids…no fast food or anything, but…

I Choose to Get Up Anyway (March 6, 2013)
Even if Ethnic Man sleeps in. Even if my muscles are sore. Even if all my little lambs are still sleeping and I can get a few extra ZZZZZs. Even if the school district declares a snow day… I will get up and get going. Or in the spirit of Jessica Hulcy, I will get…
