This "blog" is a collection of useless things including, but not limited to:

• Pictures of my dog Macho
• Pictures of my other dog Beamer
• Things I try to DIY
• Races I run
• Tales of Love + Marriage
• Beautifying our Home Sweet Home

And many more random things!

Do you like money? Sign up for Ebates!

Minorly (is that a word?) flipping out.

Since I’m new to my gym, they offer a free, one-time consultant with a trainer to get you going in the right track.

They also measure your body fat percentage. They also weigh you.

This is something I’m dreading.

D-R-E-A-D-I-N-G.

It’s one thing when you step on your own scale, and your eyes are the only ones to see the number, but when it’s someone else (and a dude on top of it all) it makes me shaky.

constantlyintransition said: i used to go to a personal trainer and he wanted to weigh me, but I told him that I didn’t feel comfortable with that…he said as long as I weigh myself at home and know my weight. You could do that if you really don’t want to.
heywhysoserious said: ugh, i’ve done that before! you are such a running queen though, so i’m sure your numbers will be great!
