12.31.2010

Mornin’! Happy Friday. Happy New Year’s Eve! After pushing the snooze on my alarm numerous times, I rolled out from under the stack of warm quilts and slipped into some not so warm running attire. My exercise motivation is minimal these days, but I was determined to fit in one last run in 2010. Run: [...]

My Serious Sugar Struggle

12.28.2010

I believe the first step in overcoming any addiction is admitting you have a problem. So, here goes… “Hi, I’m Hillary and I’m addicted to sugar.” You may think I’m exaggerating the truth. Well, I’m not. I do not document everything I eat on my blog, and because of this, y’all aren’t aware of the [...]
