A reflection on yesterday & today...

May 30, 2011
While reflecting on what Memorial Day means to me, I found myself giving thanks for all that I have today, due to the hardships & lives lost in years past, fighting for what we all enjoy as our Freedom as Americans.  While that should have been my only thinking today, I found myself also thinking about these last few days.  If you want...

Countdown to Summit ~ 18 days

May 28, 2011
18 days...whoa!  Okay, so clearly I am not going to be a hot mama in 18 days, but hey...I'll see what I can do.  I am feeling fairly confident that I can start to workout again soon.  I may take it easy this week, see how it goes with Turbo on Thursday, and go from there.  If I feel like I can get...
