Coach Anne
I had a big, giant revelation last week. I’d been thinking about my passion and my life’s calling ‘n’ stuff, and it led me to think of what I would LOVE to do every day, and I think it’s a completely different direction than I’ve moved in so far.
I love my job right now, really I do. I work for an amazing company. But working in the ‘corporate...
On Running Slowly...
I feel embarrassed and guilty for running so slow —BUT— I feel so good running at this pace. I wish I could have another rest week because this week felt amazing —BUT— I know I have to kick it back up a notch to keep up with training. I wonder how I ever ran so fast and wonder if it’s pointless to try to get any faster —BUT— I know I have to try and see. ...
Fuck Me Boots
My friend says these are sexy. I say they are professional. Settle the argument.
Would you consider these FMBs?
Oversharing: Me, Penelope, and Julia
If you’ve read here for more than a day, you may have notice that I don’t hold anything back when it comes to posting real, honest thoughts about my life and my weight loss. I spilled a bunch of #weightlossconfessions on Twitter last Friday. It was an exercise for me, a way to show people that weight loss does not make your problems go away. Neither does having lots of money or...

I Do What I Want
Some people are really good at being busy. They do a lot, they achieve a lot. They are always on the move, making lists, taking care of business. Not me!
Me? I want to do what I like, be happy, make people laugh, share good times, make last minute plans, relax, make money to spend money, do enough to get by, explore my feelings, go with the flow, have fun, LOVE.
That’s my life philosophy....
Is that even a thing anymore?
I don’t hop on Tumblr very often. I should have checked if we still do GPOYW before I posted my GPOYW. Otherwise I appear glaringly out of touch with society. But you know what? I’m going to do GPOYW even if we don’t do it anymore. K?
So Far So Good
I complained about how busy I was earlier this week. But who isn’t busy? It’s all about making things work in your schedule.
I prefer to work out in the evenings. I use it as a way to wind down from a long day at work and it is a perfect stress-reliever. But this week that’s just not possible. So I used my hectic schedule as encouragement to get up and squeeze in my workouts...
Letter to my Trainer
Hi John, Thanks for the workouts. When I first saw them I thought you were asking too much. I can’t run that fast. I freaked out a little. But I got a little support from my friends. I calmed down. I went to the gym this morning and I successfully completed today’s workout. My revelation: These goals are just beyond my reach but I’m going to keep reaching. I don’t get...
In My Head
I have a really tough week ahead of me. In addition to having a grueling set of workouts emailed to me tonight, I have events scheduled for several nights this week, on top of lots to do for Fit Milwaukee, a funeral to attend, my mother’s knee surgery, and a dying cat. I don’t know how people do it.I feel like I can’t keep up with all this stuff. And I’m whiny so I’m...
