I don’t know where to begin…or end. The end of the second week of Insanity was not as grand as the beginning. I was hating it. So I took 2 days off instead of 1. I know, I’m wild. and a little crazy. But, that helped a little, so I’m back into it…1/2 way through [...]

Friday Foto Fun
So maybe I’m stretching it a bit on the “fun”, but it is Friday. and there are fotos….well, photos. We begin today with the obligatory self portrait that we are all getting used to now, or should be….I wanted to show you how ridiculous my hair looks in the morning. Today I had a rooster [...]

We are Here to Pump…(Clap) YOU UP!
I LOVE the effects of strength training—especially core. Cardio is fantastic and should not be forsaken, but when I ramped up the resistance, I started seeing and feeling the results I always wanted…to feel strong, confident, invincible even! Ok, I know I’m not invincible, but I love being able to say that I can do [...]

Working Out with Intention
To avoid getting bored when I work out, I’m always looking for something new to do and I like to have some specific plan or program to follow. There is no random, willy-nilly-ness to my exercise routine. I told you a little about that last year, here…wait, 2 years ago…wow, time flies. For example, [...]

Fitness motivation–I’ve got it!
“If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.” I saw this on pinterest….I joined just for the fitness motivation, but have gotten sucked in beyond that. But, I do LOVE the “fitness motivation” page. It has these little sayings–often paired with motivating pictures…like a woman with really flat abs, or a toned back…you get [...]

Running
I wanna talk about running, but I don’t really know what to say. I run. I like it. The solitude. The freedom. The movement. The sense of accomplishment. The adrenaline that produces a sense of euphoria–like everything is right with the world. It’s my alone time–my time to think, pray, or just clear my head. [...]

Sweet bondage
I was re reading some of my earlier posts about being “free” from the need for sweets and junk food. Wow, that seems like a lifetime ago. I regret to inform the concerned public, that I’m back in bondage. sort of. I decided to take advantage of Lent season and “give up” something. [...]

Putting a face with a name
My friend and cousin (cousin/friend?) has a blog with a weekly post of snapshots of her kids, pets, etc. It’s nice to have a visual picture-especially for a person who is a visual learner like me. And…I just like pictures. So, at the risk of becoming an over sharer (and a bit narcissistic), I’m gonna [...]

Cheerios and random push ups
I’m running out of things to talk about since my beginning of the year food-themed blogging started. (As is evidenced by the previous whiny post about going to the grocery store!) So I’m left with a couple of options…. 1. Stop talking 2. Talk about something else 3. Talk about boring food related stuff I’m [...]

The grocery store, aka Time to Fail
**Warning: This post contains lots of whining and self pity. I really should NOT blog when I feel discouraged. You never know what you are gonna say. Can you relate, cuz? I mostly hate going to the grocery store. Not because I don’t like food, but because I shop for a family of four who [...]
