  • Getting in Shape—the Soldier’s Way

    Weds is my rest day — and I seem to be detoxing from the wheat/gluten. I’m super tired and fatigued and just feel overall sluggish. Kind of like not having a cup of coffee. Getting in Shape—the Soldier’s Way – WSJ.com. Instead of indulging in the holiday-season office cookies and after-work cocktail parties Kristen Silverman…

  • Squat Thrusts

    It was tougher to get up this morning than yesterday. Getting back into the swing of things is tougher day 2 because your body had no idea what was coming on day 1. Add in about 100 pull ups, some lunges from yesterday’s workout and you have the recipe for staying in bed.  That’s when…

  • A New Year – Time to Try Something New

    Does the thought of heading to the gym to face the cardio machines make you cringe as you begin your quest to get in shape? Finding a form of exercise that works for you is key to finding something that ‘works for you’ long term. Many people find themselves sticking with what they know best…

  • Pull Up Party Workout

    Plumbline boot camp is back in session — it was a full house today and it was great to see everyone. A week off means missing some of my pals. I maintained my weight this week which is good but also surprising if you think about how much I was working out. I really don’t…

  • Murph Workout at Crossfit

    When someone says ‘nope, no running outside in the winter’, I tend to believe them. Apparently I am naive  because I got up and went to a WOD at Crossfit Impavidus. And what to my wondering eyes should appear? 2 half mile runs OUTSIDE! I did get to sleep in 45 extra minutes – so…

  • Call me Larry Bird Workout

    Met up with the ladies again at LA Fitness for our week break from boot camp at 6A. We did a good overall routine – WOD 2 rounds (12-20 reps/round) 70lb back squat bicep curl 30 chest press 20lb back lunges 25lbs 10 burpees 20lb step ups Corex2 plank push ups back extensions crunches 30…

  • It’s all mental workout!

    So I headed to boot camp at 545a this morning, even though I worked out last night. It’s part of my routine – I can’t help it! But I definitely felt the impact on my energy and strength. Next week boot camp is off – so I will probably head to Gold’s to get some…

  • Ring row workout

    After my weekend of parties and outings – I am 1lb up. I am not stressing — I was conscious of my treats and was expecting more weight gain.   I’m sore from Gold’s gym yesterday and I am beginning to feel like I did months back when I needed a break. My body is tired…

  • Strong, Amazing Women

    Here is a pic of some of the most amazing ladies in my life — my 545a boot camp friends. When you look at this picture – notice that we are all different — different sizes, shapes, backgrounds, careers — all coming together to live fit and healthy. Next year – we should see you…

  • O’dark Thirty workout

    We got snow yesterday — about 2in but in true Northern VA fashion, school was let out 2 hours early and we have a 2 hour delay this AM.  Growing up in Northern NJ — I swear school was never canceled for snow.  I don’t know if they delay and cancel now because of insurance…
