An OkieGal in Kansas

     I have a few things I'm trying to work through currently.  I know I have come so much further than I was before.  I am still having...

     So I've been out of my normal routine.  A week before Christmas, Chickpea, my hubby, and I all got sick.  Then you put the holidays...

     November 24th, 2014 marked the end of the 12-week transformation challenge that I was a part of with No Excuse Moms .  It was an intere...

     Confession time, I can be quite the over thinker.  In the last week I was over-analyzing things so badly that I actually began to analy...

     I've been feeling a bit anxious about the end of the challenge coming so soon.  Not so much concerned with how I did, it is more ab...

     Slowly, but surely, I am getting back on track.  I have not really wanted to, yet I keep pushing forward.  One day at a time.  Hubby ha...

     The last week has been an absolute rollercoaster.  My trip to California was bittersweet, and I made it back to Kansas just in time to ...

     It is so odd.  With my workouts I have been rolling along fine, and then today it was just tough.  I was 10 minutes in, and all I wante...

     This week has been an improvement when it comes to nutrition for me.  I have gotten within striking distance of my calorie goal, and am...

     After a rough start to the week, yesterday and today have been better.  Chickpea was in rare form today, but it was nothing too crazy. ...
