Cooking Workout #1: Chicken & Shoulders.

May 29, 2015.Reading time 4 minutes.

Let’s start a new trend here. This is for all of my busy mommas out there who want to get in shape, but just don’t have the time. The mommas who work all day, tend to the household duties, and the kids. The stay at home mommas who don’t have a spare minute between keeping […]

Postpartum workouts: Moving on to splits.

May 22, 2015.Reading time 4 minutes.

I gave myself six full weeks after the baby came to rest and recover. The sole amount of activity I did was walks after two weeks, very light tempo runs after 3 weeks, and yoga around the same time. It was decision I had made long before he came. I was going to enjoy my […]

Workout Wednesday: Baby Yoga.

April 29, 2015.Reading time 2 minutes.

The week that I was cleared to finally start hitting the weights again, I started getting my feet, or, well, body, back into yoga. I was super tight from six weeks of doing nada, and I was also getting sore from it too. I had heard of Mommy and Me yoga before, but it wasn’t […]

Life never really goes as expected. Yet, we never fail to hope, and in some way, expect that it will. The entire time I was trying to get pregnant, and even when that miracle finally came, I had expected to gain a crap ton of weight. On both sides of my family, history shows a […]

Makers and Shakers: Moving It Monday

March 2, 2015.Reading time 4 minutes.

It’s interesting how sometimes you think you have that path of your life and goals all mapped out, but then at the snap of a finger, it changes. While for the most part, my goals for post baby, have remained the same, they still have changed. Why? Have I decided that I’m going to give […]

Workout Wednesday: Yoga and Kettlebells.

February 25, 2015.Reading time 5 minutes.

My fit pregnancy came to an end on Valentine’s Day, and I’m making the transition now to fit momma. Not yet though, I’m enjoying lots of baby snuggles and some time off from my day job right now. But I’ll get there… If you’ve been following my journey, and reading my posts, you know that […]

Manic Monday?

February 2, 2015.Reading time 5 minutes.

Apparently, to think that I’d get a little time to myself to just chill out, de-stress and get ready for the arrival of Baby Rebel… was like asking for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Or for Dunkin Donuts to start delivering. At 37-weeks, things are still just as full steam […]

Workout Wednesday: Still going & post baby goals.

January 21, 2015.Reading time 4 minutes.

It’s happened. Baby Rebel has decided to start dropping, and tugging my belly down along with him, so I had to do it. I had to buy a maternity band. It helps. Some. It doesn’t provide full relief, especially on my round ligaments, but it is better than nothing. The count down is on, he’s […]

When You Come Full circle.

January 4, 2015.Reading time 3 minutes.

I feel like I’ve sort of come full circle in my fitness journey, but yet, I’ve done more than come full circle. I started working out, at home, awkwardly and privately, to some VHS tapes I bought (I feel like I’m dating myself there by saying that). I progressed from there to printouts from magazines […]

Workout Wednesday: Sickness, mold and WOSS.

December 24, 2014.Reading time 6 minutes.

I’ve been down with a horrible cold for a few days, and while normally, a head cold wouldn’t keep me from working out (I’d just take it easy instead), being pregnant with a head cold is a different story. So last night, when I started feeling pretty dang good, I almost went to the gym. […]
