Live Fit and Sore

Category: General Reflections

  • Communicate.

    I am on a quest to renew my inspiration and motivation for lots of facets of my life -especially my fitness plan. So far, Boxing has been the most fun and I can already see the effects of the heavy cardio and I am leaning out. After class today, I went and did some back squats as…

  • Stop and Look Around

    How cool is this Luna moth I came across yesterday? It was a great reminder that you need to look around and appreciate the beauty around you.  We are all so busy with our lives – that if you don’t stop and look around, you are going to miss some really cool stuff. Read This…

  • Focus on What’s Really Important

    You know how you are worrying about something that happened in your life – an argument with someone or a situation that happened – and then something big happens that reminds you that the little shit isn’t that big of a deal? Well that happened late last week. I was distracted worrying about a disagreement…

  • Mother Nature Isn’t Done With Us Yet

    SNOW is what greeted me when I woke up this morning. SNOW is what happened mid-March – mere weeks before spring. SNOW is what made me cranky today. School was cancelled, gym was closed, and it’s cold. I am so over winter – it’s overstayed its welcome. I am all for seasons but it’s time…

  • Love More. Worry Less.

    It’s my rest day today –hip hop hooray! Last night, I came across this blog post: How K-Cups Might Damage Your Metabolism, Reproductive Health, and Cause Cancer. I love my Keurig and use it often but the info in the post has me questioning this common kitchen tool. “very little is known about the longterm effects of…

  • Perspective Changes Everything

    Let’s talk about Perspective for today.  How you see the world is in your hands and can make all the difference in you life. People who can really  change the world for the good, like the late great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr did, filter their day with hope, resilience and passion. Imagine waking up each…

  • Think About Your Social Legacy

    I’ve been really reflective the past month or so – thinking about life, my own place in the universe, how I relate to others, and the frailty of life in general. Not sure why all of the sudden – maybe because some change in my own life or seeing friends lose someone close to them.…

  • Life Happens So Always Look Again

    The past month or so have been odd — my son’s friend’s father died over the holidays and this week, my coach, Randy, at Highbar had to leave abruptly on Monday – unfortunately his father passed away in his sleep sometime during the night. Life happens and you never know what’s next. I was talking…

  • Happy New Year: Make Mistakes All Year Long

    I saw this quote this morning and it is perfect for the new year: “I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done…

  • George Clooney Lives His Life, So Should You

    I was reading an interview with George Clooney in Esquire magazine this weekend and he said something that has stayed with me about how media and the Internet have exploded into our lives – changing it for the good and some of it for the bad. The president came here and there were some people…
