Workout: Back to Basics.

November 1, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

This blog has only seriously been a million days in the making. Well, not really a million, but ten days. Seriously. Between a storm that knocked out power for three days, insanity at work (gotta love poll papers!), clean up from the snow storm, and life in general… It’s been a bit since I’ve been […]

The “Give It To Me” mentality.

October 30, 2014.Reading time 8 minutes.

Nobody gives it to you, you have to take it. At my nephew’s football game tonight, I realized, I wanted to scrap my initial idea tonight of a running blog, and change it to something like… The “GIVE IT TO ME” mentality of fitness took over my chaotic mind. It was a junior varsity game, […]

Baby Rebel is… well, gonna be a rebel.

October 28, 2014.Reading time 3 minutes.

We found out last Tuesday that Baby Rebel is a boy. And that he is already living up to his, now well loved, nickname. While it’d have been fun to experience life with a mini-me/girl, I realized very quickly, I’m best suited to be raising a boy. Make-up, princesses, actual style? I’d be a hot […]

Pressed for time & space? Quick shoulders & back.

October 15, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

I have been home sick for going on three days now. Despite still working during two of those days, I hit stir crazy at the end of day numero uno. And I’m guessing by the activity level inside my stomach… Baby Rebel did too. Ahhh, the pitfalls of coworkers coming to work sick. Add that […]

Foodie Friday: Eating for two.

October 10, 2014.Reading time 9 minutes.

This week’s is a special Foodie Friday blog. It touches on that infamous “eating for two” many, if not all, pregnant woman hear during their pregnancies. Pregnancy brings out the worst in people. Really. It does. Just like with working out, parenting, driving, etc… Suddenly, the day everyone finds out your pregnant, you meet all […]

Workout Wednesday: Group Fitness Classes.

October 8, 2014.Reading time 4 minutes.

When I first started out as a personal trainer and instructor, I wasn’t sure if I would ever, not only decide to do fitness classes, but want to teach fitness classes. Personally, classes have never been my “thing”. Then again, I was always a solo gym goer right from the start. Sure, my husband and […]

Why client talk is important.

October 1, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

This isn’t going to be a typical Workout Wednesday post. It’s Wednesday, and I did workout. I had quite a few different posts I’ve thought about working up for today, but this is something that I feel is a little more important. Why is talking with your client important? Not only does it establish some […]

Foodie Friday: Crinkle Cookies.

September 19, 2014.Reading time 3 minutes.

The hardest thing about baking right now is: Remembering to stay out of the cookie dough. I know, I shouldn’t be eating raw cookie dough anyway, regardless if I’m pregnant or not. It’s just not good for you. Oh well… I’m a part of a cookie swap thing with a group of women all over […]

Workout Wednesday: New Shoulders & Back.

September 10, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

Mentally last week, in the gym for my leg day, I was at odds with how I wanted to approach the workout of the day. I wanted to do what I call an “eyeball” workout routine that day. Switch it up a little. But, sometimes when we’ve been at it in the gym for a […]

Sausage and cucumbers. Together?

August 27, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

I know I’ve got the category Foodie Friday. And I know I’ve tagged this post in it… But it couldn’t wait. This was just too yummy to keep to myself any longer (I made it two weeks ago). Just because you’re pregnant, doesn’t mean you have to listen to everyone out there who thinks you […]
