Live Fit and Sore

Category: General Reflections

  • Long weekend here I come

    The weeks seem to be be getting tougher for me as the summer moves by – which is not ideal.  I need to figure out a way to recharge my battery – exercising works to a point of course but to completely unplug from our current hectic lives and restore the balance in my head.…

  • 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…

  • Today is a great day

    Today is one of those days that you sit down and shake your head because you can not believe how fast time has flown. My little baby – Baby Nate – is finishing kindergarten. He will be leaving the haven of the AOL Childcare Center private Kindergarten and in the fall will head to public…

  • Another weekend coming to a close

    I honestly don’t know if it was the run yesterday that brought dehydration upon me or that I am still getting over being sick, but I felt that I could sleep in all day. And I was cranky as all get out. I managed to gather the kids and head to the community pool for…

  • What if I didn’t workout?

    This is me this morning after a 4.5mil run on the W&OD trail. It was hot and humid and great. I have had a lot on mind lately both personally and professionally that I am finding these runs really help me quiet the thoughts in my head, at least temporarily. On a different topic –…

  • The U.S. Military’s War On PowerPoint

    The U.S. Military’s War On PowerPoint. Did you read this recent article about the military wanting to ban the use of powerpoint documents? Anyone that has had to sit through a meeting full of powerpoint knows that it can be sometimes more painful than a root canal. I think the point that it does over…

  • It is what it is..

    Do you know the part each season of the Biggest Loser when the trainers push the players so hard intentionally so their emotions come out? Well I have had a very rough 2 weeks – day after day – feeling like I am getting beaten up. I have held it in with a smile on…

  • Breathe it all in

    It’s been a crazy day. I woke up to a light rain/mist in the air and decided to go for a run. I figured if it’s not raining heavy, it’s probably great weather for one. I ended up doing about 6mi on the trail. There were a few other runners out there with me and…

  • Find your passion

    I read this blog entry today: called Weight Loss at The Anti Jared and it struck a chord with me. I have said this before – find your passion and things seem to fall into place. For Tony, aka The Anti Jared,  it was his newborn son and wife. For me – it is the…

  • Live Fit and Sore – In print!

    Giving back to others is part of Living a fit and healthy life.   I wanted to focus on something that I felt passionately about and decided to share the experience of my own transformation.   Once a month, I write an article that is published in the monthly HOA newsletter that is sent to all…
