Featured Post

Can I admit something about weight loss?

Hello Reader, Can I admit something? When I started seeing woman after woman losing weight with Ozempic, Wegovy, and other GLP-1 medications... I felt jealous. There.

But that doesn't mean I've never looked at someone losing weight quickly on a GLP-1 and thought, Wow. That sure looks easier.

Sara at Half Ironman, Colorado

Hello Reader, Back in December, I took a really big risk. This was one of those big, scary moments of decision. The classic fork in the road. Kind of like when I pushed the button to sign up for a Half Ironman. Completing a Half Ironman...and did I mention that I hate swimming? Or when I signed up for Tae Kwon Do as a non-athletic 40 year old and my instructors were little kids who could kick circles around me. Starting martial arts as a 45 year old was humbling. Then there was foster...
