  • Life is A Gift

    Life has been busy this week — weather causing school closings, too much work to be done and now I am off to film a Public Service commercial with Scott and the kiddos as part of the Chris4Life Colon Cancer Foundation. It’s not like we are starring in it or anything but we are going to…

  • It’s not about the Reps you have Left

    I came across this article in the New York Times about how important it really is to develop relationships when looking for a new job or opportunity. It’s a lot like how social media marketing works — it’s about the authentic relationships you build upon; not gimmicky tactics. Many traditional marketers are having a difficult…

  • On the Go

    I’m Always On The Go Crazy weekend filled with lots of fun! Friday, I hosted the first Ladies Night workout at CF Impavidus. Holy crap it was fun — 80s theme, good people, laughs and food and wine.  Power Supply Paleo meals even helped out and sent over some sample size meals for the athletes…

  • I’m Getting a Nike+ Fuelband

    What a long week it has been –and cold as crap. Scott and I ordered Nike+ Fuelband to help re-jumpstart my motivation to lose some of the poundage I put on during the holidays. I don’t feel good in my body right now and definitely notice it during some of my workouts. Also, my clothes are…

  • Make a Leap

    I want to send a big THANK YOU to my big brother Jon Gettinger for making the FIRST donation to team Hoagie’s Heroes! I love you and you are awesome! We are raising money for the Scope it Out 5K Washington DC Presented by Chris4Life and running the race in honor of Scotty’s fifth year colon cancer free.  Consider…

  • Stay Hungry My Friends

    It is so cold out there this morning but even that wasn’t the reason I took a rest day. I noticed yesterday that I was just not into the workout. My body was fatigued but it was more my head. My head wasn’t in the game. Whenever that happens, I know my body is tired…

  • Squat Cleans

    The Little Things Today was a tough workout day for me.  First off, it was colder than a freezer this morning. Someone mentioned it was coldest morning of record the past two years. So I was very happy to hear that Coach Chris was not going to have us run outside.  It’s the little things…

  • Paleo Three Ingredient Ice Cream Treat

    Paleo Three Ingredient Ice Cream Treat Last night I whipped up some Paleo ice cream using three ingredients. It was super easy and a recipe I found over at Use Real Butter.com.  Here’s how I made it. Grab some fairly well ripe bananas and slice them up. You are looking for lots of brown spots…

  • Clutter in the form of a Caboodle

    Even though we had a day off, I still got my butt up and headed for the workout. I personally find that deviating too much from a routine is a recipe for disaster. It’s like a gateway drug — before you know it, you are making excuses for not getting any exercise in and you…

  • Truth

    I am stuck in a fear loop and know I have to get out of it — I came across some great words this morning: ‎12 Tough Truths that Help You Grow Some people will lie to you.  Remember, an honest enemy is better than a friend who lies.  Pay less attention to what people say,…
