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…

Be Thankful for The Difficult People

Earlier this week I found out that someone that I am not fond of has been hired to do some work at one of the company’s that I am doing consulting work for. When I said I am “not fond of”, It’s really not even close to covering how much I would prefer never seeing…

Inspiration to Start Your Weekend

I’m not sure if I have mentioned but I am leading a wellness challenge at Highbar CrossFit. I am far from perfect when it comes to complete and utter wellness, but I sure as heck have enough experience and knowledge to help others navigate as they learn what works for their body. It’s been a…

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…

Are You Drinking Enough Water?

Kids are home and I found out they will be home for the rest of the week thanks to Mother Nature. I am all for being around my kids, but there comes a time when we all need some distance from one another –like this week! One of the nutrition challenge extra asks last week…

Snow Day Means Fun For the Kids

An impending snow storm has the kids at home again and allowed me to spend some extra time after my workout to work on mobility and have time in the sauna. My hips flexors have been hurting for a few days. I have never had issues before with them quite like this, so I’m not…
