    Taking Control of My Health

    October 19, 2015 - By 

    As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases At the risk of sounding whiny I’ve got to tell you all the past month (with the exception of our 4-day weekend vacation) has been pretty rough. For the first time in 3 years, I’ve been sick. About a month ago I was feeling kind of achy and tired. I figured I just didn’t get enough sleep and my seasonal allergies were getting the best of me. The next week I completely lost my voice and all of my energy was just gone. I sucked it up and went to the…

    Back to School Challenge

    August 20, 2015 - By 

    I’m going to take a moment to be really honest with you all. I have been a huge slacker over the summer when it comes to my health and fitness. I’ve been working out on a regular basis, but I definitely haven’t been giving my all. And my nutrition has been horrible. I’ve been the queen of fast, easy meals that haven’t always been healthy. And my sweet tooth has been out of control. The good news is that I have plans to get myself back on track. But here is the deal. I need your help! As a health…

    My Secret to Fitness Success

    March 20, 2015 - By

I may put on this appearance that I work out 7 days a week multiple times a day and eat nothing but clean healthy foods. But that is far from the truth. I do workout a lot.

    Half Marathon Training Week 8

    March 9, 2015 - By 

    I haven’t written a blog post about my half marathon training lately. Quite frankly it’s because I’ve been WAY off on my schedule. We had to straight weeks of snow and ice and below freezing temperatures. I can deal with running in cold temperatures and I can deal with running in the snow. But running on ice is NOT my idea of a good time. While it was icy out I took some time off from my running and focused on strength training inside.  I didn’t want to risk getting an injury by trying to run on ice. For my strength…

    21 Day Fix Extreme Challenge

    February 16, 2015 - By 

    I’m getting ready to dig into a new program that is going to challenge me in ways that I truly need it. I’ve had the working out routine down to a science for quite some time now, but I still struggle with my eating. I’m a sugar addict and I love me some beer. Starting February 23rd I’m about to kick my eating habits into shape to match my workout habits and I can’t wait to see my results both physically and mentally! 21 Day Fix Extreme is a brand new program that just came out 2 weeks ago. It…
