  Knocking Them Down, and Building Them Back Up   So, with my last Epic Anxiety Attack having come and gone, I am still feeling the after effects in the form of not sleeping. With my mind running in a million different direction imagining at least as many outcomes and possibilities of things t...

• Arriving at a Very Special Place

  August 5, 2013

   And by 'Special Place' I mean an anxiety ridden hell hole.    So, if you go back a couple of entries, you can read my Angry Accomplishments entry. (Yes, this is another fitness entry.) I can comfortably sit back and say, "I have accomplished much, and I am happy." Becaus...

• BABY KITTEHS!

  July 29, 2013

  And my quest for more feline companions!  We have three little baby kitties and a Mama cat living under the patio furniture we have stacked up under the grape arbor. There are two grey tiger kittens, and an orange one. Sam and I have been feeding them for the past few days. Our goal is…

• The Road So Far

  July 23, 2013

   And How I've Gotten To This Point Thanks to everyone that left positive feedback on my last entry. Sometimes that's all a person needs to pick themselves back up again.  Sam and I had a really long discussion about his reaction to my bruises and how I felt about him reacting that way. ...

• Just Looking For Something Positive

  July 22, 2013

   Because all I've been getting lately is negative.  Before I even start, this isn't aimed at anyone who reads this. This is mostly about Sam. And if I don't get it out somewhere, I'm pretty much going to explode and probably punch him in the face.  Last summer, I told myself - and ...

• Getting Back to Normal

  May 16, 2013

   I can't remember the last time I have felt this relaxed. Granted, I have no choice but to be in a constant state of relaxation, due to the muscle relaxers I have to take. But it still feels damn good to feel this loose. My chest is about a million times better, and I've only…

• Too Much to Handle

  May 12, 2013

  Today was the day! Today was the day that Jess and I ventured out to Woodbury, CT to participate in the filming of Hotel Hell with Gordon Ramsay at the Curtis House! It was.... strangely disappointing. We didn't spot (or hear, for that matter) the elusive Gordon Ramsay. The food was excellent. Th...

• Once in a Lifetime

  May 9, 2013

   I had to email Trainer Tim and tell him that I will be ditching him on Monday. Because I'm going to be seeing Chef Gordon Ramsay. Gordon. Freaking. Ramsay. I'm dying of excitement. There are no words.  He's filming for Hotel Hell next week in Connecticut. I caught wind of it from a mut...

• Personal Accomplishment: A Story

  May 8, 2013

  After my workout, I emailed my trainer with this:   A story:   I got my WOD from my trainer on a Thursday morning. It consisted of ten 100-meter sprints. When I opened the email, I thought to myself, "Oh no. My trainer is trying to kill me." But I worked up a sweat during…
