I did the best I could today considering I feel like my head is going to explode. I have such a bad head cold, along with chills, fever, and the usual tummy issues. I went to the gym at lunch today and I managed to run 1 mile, followed by a 1.5 mile walk. In … Continue reading Day 2 #writeandrun31

I figured this would be a good way to get my little … Continue reading #writeandrun31

Yesterday went rather well. I made much better choices food-wise, and the last of that Bailey's creamer is finally gone. I went grocery shopping shopping last night and scoured labels on the creamers to find one (that I like) that has no dairy. Seriously, this has been my one major obstacle to being vegan. I … Continue reading Happy Halloween!
