Accountability Partners Keep You Motivated

Accountability Partners Keep You Motivated! http://wp.me/p3sKXj-a1

My 10,000 steps per day Accountability Partner, Ares, when he’s mad at me for not walking.

Do you have an “accountability partner” to help you meet your goals? Someone you can report to, or meet up with, to make sure you do what you promised yourself you would do?

One of my goals is to walk 10,000 steps per day. My accountability partner for this? My Beagle, Ares.

We started walking at night,…

Hysterectomy Experience & Thoughts

My road to a hysterectomy began with a single, abnormal pap smear. For six years, I visited my friendly doctor every January and July, usually with a, “great job, Karen! See you in six months!”

I found this lovely quote from the Calm app.

Then, January 2017, my doctor called and said, instead, “We’re going to need to send you for a biopsy this time.”

Ouch.

Well, the kind, gentle OBGyn she sent me…

The #WebTeamDragon has apparently recruited a new team member. I wholeheartedly approve. #WonderWoman is a badass! Good job #WTD 😁

Sun's out and the ground is dry and we get to take a short break from the "don't lick your wound" collar. We can't use the cone because he finds ways around it. So he gets the uncomfortable neck brace instead. Only a few more days in that thing, puppy.

The #WebTeamDragon isn't wrong and I'm very lucky to be surrounded by a team full of awesome people every day. You can't ask for better "peeps" 😎😊 Learn to not spit fire at people when you chew, #WTD, and I may even bring you to next month's full team lunch. 😆

7 1/2 weeks until my youngest graduates high school. How is this real? How has this time arrived already? #LongRoadToGetHere #ProudMom

So my beloved (spoiled) dog blew his second knee out while his first knee is still recovering. That means another surgery in two weeks. He's confined to his (big) kennel in the living room until after that surgery. He hates sleeping alone (see spoiled - also, he howls REALLY LOUDLY) so Pierce and I have been taking turns sleeping on our uncomfortable couch. Tonight, we wrestled a spare mattress downstairs. Now for some "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock" to determine which one of us gets stuck downstairs tonight. 😆 #TheDogHowlingIsLouderThanTheHusbandSnoring

The question isn't, "Are you ready for Monday?" It's, "Is Monday ready for YOU?" You got this friends! #80DayObsession #WorkoutDone #AutumnCalabrese #TeamAC

Ares' favorite Saturday activity: hanging with us in the front yard and dragging himself around on his stomach. 😆🐶 #DogLife #Beagle #OldDog

My brain is in overdrive. Mostly because it's been a terrible week and it wants to a) re-hash everything and point out NOW what I could have done better and b) convince me to stay in bed and eat snickers. 😆 It almost worked. But not quite. No snickers and only one snooze. Pushing play in 3...2...1... #GetAfterIt #80DayObsession #AutumnCalabrese #LegDay

I'm consistently sore 😆 and I may be a few minutes behind today, but I'm pushing play. Happy Thursday, Friends! May you take the day by storm! #80DayObsession #AutumnCalabrese

I had to talk myself into getting out of bed. But I was awake so may as well get up. 😆 Day 10 of #80DayObsession is going down now. 😊 #GetAfterIt #PushPlay #AutumnCalabrese

[writersfitnessplan]

The struggle is real this morning. 😆 I actually hit snooze once (ok, twice). But i can't lose the progress I've made, so up and at 'em I am. Thank goodness for Energize. 😊 Hitting play in 3...2...1... #LayingInBedShouldBeConsideredExercise #80DayObsession #AutumnCalabrese #MajesticAlpaca
