In November of 2008, I wrote this post; and in it, I swore I would one day complete another triathlon. I think when I wrote that, I might have been feeling pretty low and needed to find some way of expressing hope. My shoulder was way out of whack, I would face surgery, surgery complications, [...]

As you know, I have a Wii Fit. The exercise I enjoy the most with it is the step aerobics. It doesn’t have any particularly challenging step combinations, so it is a great way for me to get some aerobic activity in without feeling like I am auditioning for the next hip-hop revolution. But, there [...]

I love gadgetry. I’m one of those weird people who can sit around and watch infomercials and really and truly believe they’ll do everything they say they will. Luckily, I have the Internet and lots of reviews to be the voice of reason, so I stop short of calling the 1-800 number. The best kind [...]

I was over the moon a few days ago (18 to be exact) but am fully back on the ground. I think I’ve actually tripped, fallen and done a face plant back into reality. I re-subluxed (temporarily dislocated) my shoulder on Saturday. I am in pain, I am feeling panicked that I have very little [...]

because I saw the orthopedic surgeon guy and I have been given the go ahead to swim again! Freestyle!!!! A year ago, I re-injured my shoulder for the 7th time by sweeping the floor. I was pregnant with Lily at the time so the darn hormones made my shoulder joint lax. After 6 weeks of [...]

Weeeeeelllll, I finally got out the Wii Fit today after 65 days of not using it. Let me tell you, it is a very honest piece of equipment. I apparently have gained 9 pounds in the last 65 days. That totally blows my, “at least I’m maintaining” mantra. So, I ate quite healthy today, drank [...]

I actually went to work out last night! Barb, (my triathlon partner and AWESOME friend) and I, went to deep water aerobics. Deep water aerobics is like regular water aerobics except you are in deep water so you must tread water the entire time. Class lasts an hour, so I feel like I got a [...]

I once experienced some glory. I, fat girl, completed a triathlon. It was a sprint triathlon, which is sort of a nothing race when you think of the IRON MAN or something, but it was a triathlon nonetheless. (That’s me on the left, in the horrid unitard with the pink zipper, and my training partner.) [...]
