  • 2 years strong!

    It’s turning into a great day even if I had to start it off doing burpees! Today is a milestone for me – it was 2 YEARS AGO to the day that I attended my first boot camp. To mark the occasion, my trainer – MT – did the final PT Station with our group…

  • What happened to the breeze?

    There was a nice breeze when we started the workout today, but for some reason – it quickly disappeared right after the warm up! I wonder why?? Because it’s friggin HOT! We had a late start today so we only did one round of warm ups but the rest was business as usual – and…

  • Smoking around kids exacts a high toll

    Smoking around kids exacts a high toll: studies Smoking today stands out like a big elephant in the middle of a room. I don’t even know anyone in my personal circle that smokes – which is a far cry from my social circle when I was in my 20s. Times sure have changed.  Smoking is…

  • Call me Aunty Steph!

    I went for a short run yesterday morning on the trail. I did about 2 or so miles but with the heat and humidity, it felt more like 5 or 6. I ended up walking for the last part but at least I got it in. Great workout today although it was already a hot…

  • Great weekend

    Happy Sunday! I went to the gym yesterday because it was so hot outside – but I found it hard to get motivated because I felt like I was boxed in. Running on a treadmill doesn’t hold a candle to being outside. So I ran for a mile, then did this cyber arc for another…

  • Summer suit season is here!

    Summer suit season is here!

    Friday means Rest Day! I appreciate this day so much – get a few extra Zzzz’s, get up and don’t have to rush with the kids, and let my body rest. Makes me very happy – I am planning on getting up early to go for a run before the heat of the day comes…

  • Was this written by Scotty?

    Thanks to my sister, Connie for sending me the article.post below from MSNBC. My family knows the high regard Star Wars has in my home. When I first met Scotty, it was something that everyone knew about Scotty – he liked Star Wars. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that he was an…

  • It IS worth it

    This heat is such an extra challenge for me. It seems to just zap any extra energy I may have – making tough workouts that much tougher. I do have to say though – I am happy I get it over with early in the morning. I can not imagine having to go in the…
