April 9, 2018 by not your average mom 2 Comments

I am so excited for today. SO EXCITED. Today is a whole new beginning for me in so many ways. Too many ways to sufficiently discuss them all in one blog post. So I will start with just one. Today it has officially been six weeks since my surgery. That means I have clearance to […]

This Is Your Sign

January 15, 2018 by not your average mom 1 Comment

Since we had no school today I thought I was going to get a whole bunch of stuff done, but really all I did yesterday and today was drive kids to different play dates and swim practices. I got almost nothing done yesterday. Today was not looking much better, and at 9 a.m. I had […]

Because You Might Not Get One More Week

October 19, 2017 by not your average mom 1 Comment

My current favorite podcast is Oprah’s Super Soul Conversations. (The Tony Robbins, Brene Brown, and Glennon Doyle episodes are three of my favorites). All the episodes are about thirty minutes long. They are the perfect length for a half hour workout. Today while I was on the elliptical, I listened to the Michael Singer episode. He’s […]

Because I like lasagna. And bulletproof coffee tastes like ass.

In the past four years, I have been very successful at losing weight. Unfortunately, I’ve also been very successful at gaining most of it back. As you know, last week I (re)joined a fitness/weight loss challenge since I’ve (re)gained twenty-five pounds in the last year and my body fat percentage now puts me in a category […]

So apparently I’m obese.

January 9, 2017 by not your average mom 1 Comment

I had a little reality check last night. If you’ve been around here for a long time, you may remember back to when I joined a weight loss challenge/competition-type thing at the gym. I was the heaviest I’d ever been, I was done having kids, I felt like doodoo, and I was ready to make […]
