  • If You’re Scared, Go Home

    I say this every Monday, but what a busy, but fun weekend! Now that we are done with our first week of school, the kids’ activities are heating up. Nate is doing flag football and HB is learning volleyball. She’s so hard on herself –she literally has never played the game before and was upset…

  • We Can Handle Anything

    I know I am not the only one that during times of a lot of stress or times when I am upset about something, during a workout that pushes me, I start to tear up and if I let myself, I cry.  I spent a lot of time holding in and trying to focus on…

  • Change Your Words and It Changes Your World

    A few bits of info to share today. It was my rest day and I am super sore. Not sure why, but for some reason this week has kicked my tush in the workout department! I have talked about coaching many times before –and the need to make sure you find a good, experienced coach…

  • Keep Moving Forward

    I am focused on moving forward. That will be my new mantra. If it doesn’t help me grow, progress and move forward –then it’s a waste of brain space. My mind has been racing and I have been having trouble sleeping. So – moving forward is what I need to concentrate on.   It was…

  • Back to School 2013

    Today is the big day — Back to School 2013. Hard to believe it’s September and that my kids are growing up this fast. Hannah is heading to middle school and Nate is a proud fourth grader this year! I am so proud of both of them and hope this year strengthens their love of…

  • Everywhere There are Signs

    You know how you see signs to make changes all around you, and you acknowledge the signs, but you try to ignore them, or find excuses or reasons why it’s not the right time? Yeah, well that has been happening to me for the past year or so, and I have been purposely ignoring it.…

  • Eat Right & Stay Fit – It will pay off

    Been a very busy weekend –but today, I had a PR. I did 11 strict pull ups in a WOD round! STRICT PULL UPs! I was so happy.  To me pull-ups are a sign of real strength – when I started over 5+ years ago, I couldn’t do ONE! That made my day and it’s…

  • Jet-Lag is a Killah

    I’m back but terribly jetlagged – so here’s some stuff I have been reading the past few days: Toxic Sugar: Fantastic Video on the Obesity Epidemic!

  • Packing Light

    I knew it was going to rain today — a sinus headache started last night when the pressure dropped. I figured a good workout this morning would help clear it up and it did temporarily – while I was suffering but it’s back now. Which brings me to this article I read — not that…

  • Breaking Bad is Back!

    This weekend was good — got in some great workouts, got some crap done around the house, my Hannah Bea came home, saw a movie with my Silver Fox and… Breaking Bad was on! If you aren’t watching this show, go stream it from the beginning and stick with it. I almost gave up on…
