To The Lady In The Tie Dyed T-Shirt

Dear Lady In The Tie-Dyed T-Shirt,
I didn't get your name, and I didn't give you mine.
I am sorry for that.
I know you will probably never see this post,
And that's ok.
I wanted to give up today. I wanted to quit.
I didn't think I could do it another second. I was done.
Then you, lady in the tie-dyed t-shirt came up beside me.
We made small talk, and I said how I hated to run and I didn't think I would ever be a runner.
"Yes you will," you said "yes, we will," you said.
You gave me the motivation to run a little further.
Thank you lady in the tie-dyed t-shirt for pushing me to end the 2 mile track running in.
Thank you lady in the tie-dyed t-shirt for the motivation.
Thank you lady in the tie-dyed t-shirt for not giving up.
You will never know how much that meant to me today.

To all of you who have ever been the lady in the tie-dyed t-shirt, I thank you.

I could not think of a better post for my 50th post, than to get to express my gratitude for someone that took their time to push and motivate me, when they do not know me other than the lady in the green tank top.

New Year... New Me

First off, I am typing this on my iPad and its terrible. My desktop is being a punk and my laptop is too. Anyways.... One year ago today I started going to the gym. It has been 365 days of exercising, clean eating, and struggling. I have put my healthy habits aside for the holidays. I decided that I had deprived myself all year and I wasn't going to do that during the holidays. I said that I knew I would gain weight, and I'd be ok with it as long as it was less an 10 pounds. I went to the gym for the first time in a while today. I weighed before I got started. I gained weight. It was less than ten pounds, but I was not ok with it. I worked hard to get that weight off and carelessly put it back on. I did realize that I probably would have but on that weight anyway drying the holidays (you know like if I didn't lose the weight) and it would be a lot worse. I don't believe in Resolutions. They always fall apart. I believe in goals. I do have goals for 2014. H...

Hello, It's me!

Hey! Remember me? It's just been a year or two. I guess I felt like I ran out of things to say. Or maybe I thought I wasn't interesting. Then I realized tonight, I missed typing my feelings for the world (or the three people that read my thoughts). Let's see, what has happened.... Nothing interesting I'm sure. I'm 30, that's new. I'm single, that's not. I'm brunette again, but I guess the blog word didn't see the blonde. I gained all the weight I lost back, so there's that. I have been struggling lately, with just about everything. Mostly, I am on the single struggle bus. I have a bus pass and keep chugging along. I guess at this time of year it gets worse; everyone is getting engaged, announcing the are expecting, or starting new relationships. And while I can rejoice with my friends in their seasons of happiness, I can't help but mourn my season of sadness. Sometimes the season seems to drag on. I guess wh...

Link Up

Finish The Sentence With Jake & Holly Hey! I've never done a link up before but I thought, why not. My page sucks and I'm almost embarrassed to link up and have some really cool "professional" type bloggers look at it, but oh well. Make fun if you want, I'm a stressed out teacher, that hasn't even had time to blog in ages. Anyways I read these link up things all the time, always wanted to join in the fun. This one looked fun...so here it goes. I hope I don't suck. BTW, I'm such I loser I don't know how to link up right, sorry I'm a failure My happy place... Walking down Broadway in Nashville, TN. I love all the live music you can hear from every honky tonk. Or at a musical.... Or at a live concert... Or the beach... Pretty much if you get my out of the house or work I'm friggin' happy. Whatever happened to... Andrew Keegan. I may google that later. (and yes the Full House song popped in my head too...
