  • What Do You Feed Your Dog?

    I am in the process of considering rescuing a dog — I don’t really want a puppy, dealing with the dreaded puppy stage. I know they are cute and all but I would rather skip that part and find a two-three year old doggy in need of a good home. Did you know that according…

  • Greg Everett’s American Weightlifting

    I loved the workout programmed today. It was all about endurance!  I love when a workout really challenges me mentally. It had broad jumps, hang squat cleans and slam balls and the combo left me breathless – so I really have to focus on steadying my breath and continue on. Again, it’s one of the…

  • October is Fair Trade Month

    Today while we were running as a part of the workout, I couldn’t help but notice the absolutely gorgeous sunrise. It reminded me of Tucson, Arizona — just amazing. That is one of the best parts of being up so early in the morning. You miss that if you sleep in! A small change in…

  • Planet Spooky at Kings Dominion

    Saturday, after Nate’s football game and my workout, we headed to Kings Dominion to check out their Planet Spooky event*. I wish we had left earlier to avoid the horrible traffic on 95 and of course there was an accident so it took forever – but we got there eventually. It was a gorgeous day…

  • Getting Into The Modern

    Yesterday, I was interviewed for a local magazine about being a Modern Mom. I was nominated by one of my dear friends Tina, who I met at the very beginning of my fitness journey.  What’s funny is that magazine is called I am Modern Magazine and it’s geared towards Modern Moms (whatever that means).  I…

  • Cirque du Soleil: Totem at The Plateau at National Harbor Aug 15 – Oct 7th

    Today is shaping up to be a much better day than earlier this week! Life is about ebbs and flows, peaks and valleys — you know the drill. The turnaround started yesterday when a friend at work asked if I wanted to take a walk. The weather is beautiful right now in the DC area,…

    Tony Blauer’s Tactical Combative Camp: Five Important Themes For Women I recently attended the annual two day Tony Blauer “Tactical Combative Camp” at CrossFit Rubicon in Tysons Corner, VA. At first glance, any normal. suburban woman would walk into that gym and see the crowd gathered for the camp, and walk right out. Picture it:…

  • Introducing a 6 or 8 pack AB MAKER! FINALLY

    I am wondering if I am feeling like crap because of allergies. I never really have them bad, but Northern VA is famous for causing them. I can’t put my finger on things, but I just feel yucky and just not right! I am definitely glad it’s a rest day — I am SORE too!…

  • Paleonola – 100% grain free granola for those that want their ‘cereal’ back

    A few weeks ago I was on Twitter and saw a tweet come across from @Paleonola. Since going mostly Paleo, I miss cereal — plain and simple. I sent them a message asking if they are available anywhere local and if not, do they send samples because I would love to try it. I have…
