  • Family Bonds are Important

    Yesterday during our 200m shuttle run test – something happened around lap 7 and my ankle gave out. I knew something had happened but wasnt sure what and I kept going, finishing out the final 3 laps. When I got in the shower yesterday –  I had a black and blue mark around my ankle…

  • Rest in Peace Ms. Shirley Temple

    If the predictions are right, the DC area is due for some big snow starting tomorrow night. Personally, I like having some snow on the ground. I find it forces people to slow down life a bit. However, the extra work attached to getting a big dump of snow is not welcome. My kids get…

  • Necessary Recovery

    It’s been a crazy weekend celebrating my birthday. I am still recovering and I definitely was reminded about why I am not a drinker. Yuck. I lost track of how much I drank on Saturday night and had to take most of yesterday to recover. I remember that it’s not that fun to be so…

  • Be Awesome

    I had the loveliest day yesterday – didn’t do anything crazy but heard from a ton of people, got treated special by my family – and got a few gifts from people that let me know that they get who I am. Of course, I indulged a bit as a birthday treat and all day…

  • I Have Some Work To Do

    Another winter storm warning for my county this evening –should be interesting if the kiddos have school tomorrow. I sure hope so because it’s my birthday and I was looking forward to hanging out, some quiet, lunch with a friend. No pressure, no having to take care of anyone during the day. So cross your…

  • Super Bowl Hangover

    I went a bit overboard yesterday during the big game – -ate some wings, had more chips and guacamole than I care to remember. I slept horribly and woke up feeling swollen from all the salt and groggy. It’s not a great feeling… Super Bowl Commercials My two favorite commercials from the Super Bowl were…

  • Are you Magnesium Deficient?

    I got so busy yesterday that I forgot to post – I try to sit down every morning and write. It’s a way for me to reflect and relax but yesterday was kind of a crazy day. So, here I am back at it again today. I’ve started to really focus on my marketing consulting…

    Know the Symptoms of a Magnesium Deficiency

    After working on a specific strength program for 12 weeks at Highbar CrossFit, the time has come to test and see the progress. Yesterday, I got a 5# PR on my Squat clean. Today – my back squat! PR’d by 10# to end at 220# although I think I could have done more – ran…

  • Clearing the Clutter

    The kids are finally in school and the house is quiet. I just want to sit here and enjoy the silence. As much as I love my kids and being able to spend extra time with them, there is definitely a need for space. For their benefit and mine. Enough was enough. I was able…

  • Musings for an Ordinary Day

    Holy cow it’s cold – the thermometer said 4′ on the way to the gym this morning.  I am really wanting to go to San Francisco and meet my nieces. Seeing the pics of them is tough because I know it will be a while before I get to actually meet them in person. I…
