From Eating Disorder to Nirvana… Someday
I’ve been going through some insomnia recently, which is not unusual for me. About two times a month, I survive for a few days on less than four hours of sleep a night. It’s just a weird thing, and then I go crazy and eat waffles, and I am good as new. Or as new […]
Four Years and Fifty Pounds Ago…
Hey Guys! Todd here! When people see my driver’s license, they can’t believe it’s me. They tell me I need a new license photo, too, because it doesn’t look at all like me. I reply, “No, I like reminding myself of where I came from. It was a lot of hard work.” …Four years and fifty pounds ago… September […]
An Unworthy Life…
DISCLAIMER: this is a mental mess of a post. So this morning I went back to the scene of the crime–er–the place where all of “this” started. The scene? The original spin class that launched “the Spark” (post: How I Changed) and spread my love for triathlon like wildfire. Since starting with Coach T-Bone, I […]
26 Days Later
On December 1, I embarked on (yet another) food journey with our flagship “Swim Bike Food” group. The Expert (and the kids, by default) came along for the ride. As I always say, “I’m just one bad day away from a large pizza and a 12 pack of beer”—-and this may still be true—-but at […]
An Expert Birthday and Good Things
Had an amazing indoor cycling class at PTS Sports on Sunday. Wowzers. A two-hour long Queen buster. (Which I followed up with yoga a few hours later… I was DONE!) If my ATL area peeps want to join one of the cycling classes, it starts at 8:00 and goes until 10:00 on Sundays in Roswell—and […]
What’s MY Excuse?
This picture is circulating around the internet. The woman in the picture, Maria Kang, is getting a lot of heat from posting this on her Facebook page. Imagine that. I had to take a step back and think about how I felt about it. I will often create and post “posters” with the intention of […]
Stalking and Stuffing my Face
Remember way back when I used to stalk an Iron(wo)man at my old law firm? If not, here’s the short: I saw a car in the parking lot with the M-dot on the hitch. This was right after my first Olympic distance race in 2011, and naturally, I was hooked. So I decided that I […]
The Real Business of “I Am Not Good Enough”
I work full-time. For years, I was an attorney. Then I had a short 4-6 month stint where I wasn’t an attorney. But then I was again. Now? Yes. Attorney title has returned. Whatever. But I can say that I’m busy. As we all are, I know. Work is busy, yes. But I have been mainly […]
The Whole30 Results
DAY THIRTY Well, I made it exactly 29 days into my Eight Weeks and Whole30… ….before I blew it. And by “blowing it,” I mean going to a delicious two dinners with my family and partaking of some vino and some delcious dessert. And some more vino. Not as strong as I thought I was. Actually, […]
