WODs & Well-Being

May 7, 2013 Here we go again... If there is one thing in life that every "adult" learns over time... its the fact that anything can happen when you least expect it. Those things can be good, but those things can be bad... most you cant prepare for. You just have to learn how to go with what happens in life and deal with it as best you can. I plan, plan, plan... and sometimes... it dosent matter. Live takes over and I find myself in a crappy sutiation that more often than not costs money. Well... I just put on my big girl drawers and suck it up. Que sera sera... Today "life" brought me back tot he dentist. I had planned a few months ago to take care of some dental work that I have been putting off due to lack of insurance. The "plan" was one crown a year... so my dentist (that I love) advised which tooth to do first. We had a plan of attack for the order in which we were going to do the rest. Well... as "life" would have it.  Another too...

September 8, 2012 Garage Games Day 1... Wow, what a day! It was filled with all sorts of emotions and excitement... and a little bit of not so good excitement as well, Ill get to that. It all started off with getting up dark and early (because it was everything BUT bright at 5:00 in the morning). Hubs and I had a little breakfast, some coffee and got everything loaded into the truck to get to our meeting spot to hook up with our fellow CFWers. My stomach was doing its usual nervous flip flop. I know I really had nothing to be "nervous" about, I think it was just the whole buildup to the day that was getting to me. I was all chatty on the way down and just overall ready to get the day going! When we arrived we unloaded set up our tents and as the rest of the CFW Team arrived we all got more and more excited! We checked in, got out numbers and awaited the athletes meeting. I can remember looking around when people were showing up thinking "I remember that girl,"...

August 22, 2012 Oh how true this is. There are days that you feel like everything is all put together and tied up neatly in a bow... things seem to be perfect and you could not ask for anything else. But, we all know life isnt perfect. That amongst those "perfectly tied up" days there are days just feel like you are walking an endless road with weights tied to your feet that just keep getting heavier and heavier. The issue is that you never know when either one of those days are coming and sometimes there is nothing you can do when one of those "not so perfect" days pops up. I have been doing my best to keep a positive attitude as often as possible, to thing about things a little more before reacting and letting some things roll off my back that I may not have in the past. I wake up in the morning and start each day fresh, however, this dose not guarantee a "perfect" day every day. When I first started thinking this way I would get really upset i...

October 8, 2011 Today is my first "goal day" it was easy to choose and easy to remember, as it is also my and Hub's 6th wedding anniversary. So hard to believe that 6 years ago I was at the hairdressers at this very moment with my cousin who was my MOH standing by my side with tears in her eyes (blaming it on the pregnancy hormones) while my friend/hairdresser put the finishing touches on my hair by adding my veil. I chose my dress, hair, makeup and jewelery to be certain that I looked like "me" on my wedding day. I didnt want to be uncomfortable and the last thing I wanted was to get to the end of the aisle and have Hubs say "whos that?" Alas, mission was accomplished...   So, why is this my "goal day" as well. Well, in those 6 years both Hubs and I have yo-yo'ed our weight and size significantly. As I said before in one of my earlier posts, at the time of our wedding we were both probably in the best shape our of adult lives. ...
