Sharing My Life One Bite at a Time
Murphy, what is it?! Let me tell ya, I received a sweeeeeet package from my friends at New Balance this morning. Oooh, yes, I did. Since New Balance is sponsoring our all-blogger team, Team “Off Balance,” for the upcoming Massachusetts Reach the Beach relay, they wanted to help us with our training by sending us [...]

Yesterday was rough on the colitis front, but I started to feel a little bit better in the late afternoon, so Mal and I tackled a few projects that we’ve been meaning to do for awhile now. Even though I can’t take part in all of my usual daily activities, I’m thankful I’m able to [...]

Thanks for all of your kind and supportive comments and emails. You guys are truly the best. Some of your messages literally brought me to tears. I definitely felt the love, so thank you. Colitis totally sucks, but I’m hanging in there and planning to get through this thing with a super positive attitude (and [...]

I know there’s still one more day of February (yay, leap year!), but I decided to post the next edition of my Top 12 in 2012 a day early—mostly because I don’t think anything that happens today (i.e. doctor’s appointment, toilet time, laying in the fetal position cursing my intestines) will make my Top 12!

Let’s start off with a funny pug picture because the rest of this post isn’t going to be funny at all. Clearly, Murphy is comfortable. Ok, so it’s time for me to fess up about what’s been going on with me lately. I’ve actually sort of been dreading writing this post because I didn’t want [...]

Some of the folks from Reach the Beach Relay planned to attend, so they invited our RTB team to join the group for a [...]

Yay! Good times with CrossFit 781! Last night, a group of us traveled to Reebok CrossFit ONE for a special event to kick-off the first WOD of the Open. Reebok CrossFit One is basically a CrossFit mecca. It’s a 5,000 square-foot facility (twice the size of CrossFit 781), which is surrounded by playing fields and [...]

Happy Friday! It’s a snowy, yet warm-ish, morning here. It’s very strange, but sort of pretty, too. We ran out of iced coffee this morning, so Mal, Murphy, and I headed to Marylou’s to get our morning fix. Yes, the drive-thru is bright pink! Love it! I ordered a Peanut Butter Wonderful iced coffee with [...]

Have I mentioned before that I love school vacation week? I love it because Mal and I do fun things together like make Burpees t-shirts for the first CrossFit Open WOD! Burpees stink, but homemade t-shirts are fun! Ok, we’re are super nerds, but our special Burpees shirts motivated us to bang out some serious [...]
