April 20, 2012 Open auditions starting today!!  Seriously, if there is one thing I have learned in my life, being myself and staying true to being the person I want to be is by far the most important lesson I have learned. It didn’t come overnight and I didn’t “learn” it from one particular instance. My parents didn’t “teach” it to me, I didn’t read about it… It is all the moments in my life so far rolled up into one tight package. As a child I wasn’t “popular” I had a rough go for a lot of years in school with getting made fun of and even having people throw shit at me (kids can be so crule). I spent years in the nurses office trying to get her to call my mom so that I didn’t have to go back to class. Lots and lots of broken thermometers in the nurses office faking a fever… but she was on to me of course. I couldn’t understand (and still don’t) how I, who didn’t do “anything” do anyone could be treated that way just for being me. I tried hard to get involved, t...

January 9, 2012 Today is the first day of the "Paleo Challenge." Thats 6 weeks of strict Paleo for hubs and I. No, I am not pregnant (even though you wont see me drink for the next 6 weeks). No, this is not something we "have" to do... this is something we are choosing to do. The rules have been set by CrossFit Wachusett. There is a prize, but honestly, its not the prize that is my motivation for this one. Its a personal challenge, its a mental challenge and the satisfaction and results that will come from it are more than any physical prize I can be given. Whats the change? Hubs and I already pretty much eat Paleo already... Why change things up? Well because there is always room for improvement and currently we allow ourselves at least one "not so paleo" meal a week and occasionally we "stretch" the rules. We allow ourselves some sugars, protein powder outside of a 1/2 an hour of our workout and of course, there is the alcohol. We have s...

November 7, 2011 24 DAYS OF THANKS #7 - I am thankful for the children in my life. For those that are already here bringing joy and smiles by the minute and just as much for those that are on their way!! The things that they say, their laughter, their smiles... and their hugs and kisses are a recipe for happiness!! There is nothing better than a big hug and an "I love you" from all of my girls and big sloppy wet kisses from the little prince in my life! I surround myself with their pictures on my desk at work and whenever I need to smile, there they are. Auntie Sarah loves you all! Well, its time to unveil the "cut." Its a whole new me!! This morning I had a feeling it was going to be tough to get out of bed. Hubs and I were both really sore all day yesterday from our home made WOD on Saturday. We spent the day cleaning and getting things organized at the house, he went food shopping, I did laundry, than we did lots and lots of cooking. Didnt get to bed til...
