    I had intentions of starting Insanity this week. Unfortunately, my lungs had different intentions and instead of sweating and digging deeper, I’m laid up with a chest infection. Chest infections are particularly bad for me because I’m prone to bronchitis and asthma and anything closely related. It always takes a long time for me to…

    London Film & Comic Con is this weekend and we are making an appearance, of course. I’m going purely to meet Chris Judge – Teal’c!!! <3 and there are a ton of guests this year, but I’m learning (not so easily) to restrain myself and budget hahahahaha. Also on my list of must-meets are Jeri…

    It’s been almost 3 full weeks since I gave up cow’s milk dairy products. I quickly adapted to using almond, soy and oat milk, all of which are good for various things and pretty darn yummy. Chocolate oat milk is delish in a protein shake w/ a banana. Almond milk is good with berries in…

    My lack of motivation is freaking me out. I’ve become complacent. Part of me wants to be happy now, to have confidence in myself now, to love myself NOW. Another part of me wants to hate myself. And the rest of me wants the willpower and motivation to kick the other parts’ asses. To push…

    This year is certainly shaping up to be a pretty hectic one! It feels like the first half of the year has been one event after the other with little rest in between and I’m certainly suffering for it. The start of the year was off to a blinding start with Insanity in the mix…

    This year is feeling like the year of events for me. I feel like things just haven’t stopped all year and it’s been amazing, but I get a bit tired being so busy and going away for these incredible things! But hey, it’s soooooooooo worth it when you get to meet amazing people like Amanda…

    The past few months have been challenging for me in a way that I’m not used to. I think my husband put it best when he commented that I’ve worked really hard over the years to become the person I am now and he hated to see me affected by one person’s comment in such…

    When I find a workout I really love I become attached. It’s the same with anything – food, music, a place I like to visit, shopping… So when I loved Insanity so much earlier in the year, I knew it would definitely become a part of my regular workout rotation in some form. What usually…
