This is my way of holding myself accountable for my fitness goals and also tracking my progress. To catch up, see week 1 and week 2. Weighty Matters: Starting BMI: 25.2 Today’s BMI: 25.0 (no change; down 1.4 pounds total) Goal BMI: 24.0 Sometimes no change is success in itself. Losing weight isn’t a primary…
Today will be my third day of running in a row. For some of you, that may not seem like that big of a deal, but for me it is a challenge. I ran a 5K on Tuesday, 3.5 miles yesterday, and have a 4 mile run planned with my husband this evening. It will not be a…
I WILL get up early enough to enjoy my breakfast before work without being rushed. This is me time. I WILL enjoy my evening workouts and admit that not everyone is a morning runner. I WILL do what works for me. I WILL go to bed no later than 10:30pm to ensure that I get enough…

Happy first day of fall! My pups and I are certainly enjoying the cooler weather. Here’s a pic from our walk this morning. It’s challenging to get two young dogs into the viewpane at the same time! Karley Sue and Cecil on a morning walk It’s nice to put those hazy 90 degree days behind…
How many times have you heard a very fit, healthy women refer to a “cheat day” in terms of their eating habits? I admit to being a culprit here too, but I think we need to come up with a more positive term. Cheating implies breaking the rules or doing something illegal and is oftentimes associated…
In highschool, I was lucky enough to be able to whitewater kayak every day after school on the Potomac. Our instructor was known for his pithy tips for surviving the outdoor elements; his most famous being the reminder that “COTTON = DEATH”. In case you didn’t know, cotton is fine warm weather fabric but is…
These are my personal truths about how I feel about fitness. Some of them I’d happily yell from the rooftops, and a couple are my little secrets. Running is my medicine. It allows me to burn off stress and keep my spirits up. I start to feel really lethargic and out of sorts if I…
Hi, I'm Brigid. This is my journey in living an active, healthy life as I approach my 30th year. I try to focus on the positives, eat more veggies, run more miles, and not sweat the small stuff.
