Stumbling

Surviving Spin

Phew! What a crazy, active day for me! It all started at 7am, when Kelly and I left her place to go for a 8km walk. Of course, what was an insanely fast walk for me was the equivalent to an easy stroll for her. I can't wait for

My Can's

I'm probably a bit over halfway through reading Brianna's blog, when I came across her post about her list of "I can't, but I can." It really hit home for me right now because I finding myself increasingly frustrated with my sprained ankle. I kept telling everyone it's "super

Choices

Every day I choose to be healthy. Every day I make choices that will help me reach my goals. Every day, I also fight against the little devil on my shoulder telling me "one bite won't hurt" or "quick - no one's watching eat now!" I used to feel
