In case anyone recognizes it, the title is a quote from one of my favorite songs - “Lullaby” by Sia. Love her.
Monday’s boot camp was work work work. In multiples of fifty. Our night consisted of the following:workout
Do you believe it? It’s true. Ask Amanda, Mary, Margaret, or me how our butts felt and we will tell you “JELLO.”

  16. The blog looks great! Love the new header and background!

    I would have to say I worked pretty darn hard at training to run a half marathon. It was probably the most difficult thing I have ever done, but I am SO glad I did it!

  18. Love Chick-fil-A, and also love your new blog design!

    I worked really hard to train and raise money ($4,200 total!) for the 2010 Boston Marathon! Running in New England winters can be a bit miserable, but crossing the finish line on race day is probably the best feeling in the world.

  30. Great job on your new header...did you make it yourself? Yummy chocolate chip cookie picture :)

    I worked hard in my studies this year. I worked my butt off and had some setbacks but now I'm motivated again.

  31. haha this is SUPER funny! My bf loves Chick-fil-a and I love their marketing :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. I LOVE the new look of your blog, Missy!! Awesome!!

    And GREAT giveaway - I share your love of chick-fil-a (although, admittedly, you're a bigger fan than me and anyone I know hehe). This year I took on RUNNING. I still have a long way to go but am proud to say that in January I could only run 3 minutes in a go, now I can run 37. :)

  34. Eat more Chiken and read more Hungry Meets Healthy.

    Get in my face you beautiful little nuggets!

    I worked really hard to train for my first triathlon. I am afraid of swimming, but I conquered my first tri, and placed:)

    Jello butt, I bet it's the best kind of sore!

    PS - Those Cowcrackers are too cute!

  35. Love the header. I feel like I have worked hard for a lot, but I am really working hard at sticking to my running plan. Somedays it hurts :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Love your new design! I worked really hard to figure out what I "want to do when I grow up." Many jobs, volunteering and impossible college classes. It all paid off and I couldn't be happier with where I am or what I've experienced and learned along the way.

  37. I have been working hard on my marriage for 31 (and a half) years. When I say that, it makes it sound like the marriage is bad or difficult which is not true. But any marriage takes work. It upsets me to see so many marriages fail. I think that motivates me to work on mine. P.S. I would love a Chick-Fil-A calendar! Coupons are my friends.

  38. Hey! Love the blog and I'm actually a dancer for Charleston Ballet Theatre so I guess you can call me a local reader! :)! As a dancer, this is a real easy answer for me. I've tried to become a better dancer everyday since moving here focusing on my body, strength, food related... EVERYTHING! It's been a fun and interesting journey, and it never stops. I LOVE Chick-fil-A! Question, though. I live downtown and don't know where the restaurant here is located. Do you know where the downtown location is? Isn't it in a MUSC building? :)! Thanks!

  39. Love the new look of your blog girl!

  40. Chick Fil A giveaway?? You officially have my heart!!!

    I've worked hard to sock away money. My parents are too financially stable and this sounds horrible.....I don't want to be struggling like them when I am older. I put away a nice chunk in my 401K plus save a lot of money hence my frugal ways. I could be out galavanting, having fun and traveling more but I am trying to think of the future.

    Have a happy Thanksgiving!

  41. I LOVE your new design!! looks great! :D

    I think the biggest thing I've worked really hard with recently is running... I used to be a runner and ... I'm coming back after two HUGE injuries. You know... it's been really difficult and slow, but it's WORKING! ;) I'm up to three miles at a time. *AAH*
