Workout Wednesday: New Shoulders & Back.

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 […]

Oh, baby!

Just when you think you’ve reached the end of the road, you find that that Dead End sign you’ve seen is just a mirage. You actually have more road to go. Not just that, but there’s a fork in it to, taking you to a new, completely unexpected destination. We had just started to really […]

It’s in the shoulders.

Call me stubborn, call me hard headed, call me anything you want that describes sticking to my guns on something but, leg day is on Wednesday and will always be on a Wednesday for me. Everyone at my gym does leg day on Friday. Thursdays I have classes and my regular day job, so I […]

She ran a 5k.

I have two sisters. An older and a younger one. Smack dab in the middle I am. For the longest time, my older sister and I were super close (after 12 years of her hating my guts). I even lived with her for seven months of my life back in my 20s. We’re still close, […]

Wednesday leg days.

I don’t think my legs are at their full potential. Yeah, they’re looking a hell of a lot better than they were 12 years ago, but they still need work. Apparently, I’m the only one that thinks that. If I had a penny for every time I got compliments in my legs or was asked […]

Life as I know it… Let’s rephrase that, My Insane Life.

Let’s talk about life for a second. I don’t know about anyone else, but mine is always a little insane. We’re talking the kind of insane where you’re stretched super thin and you’re looking at the clock thinking: Why can I not have just ONE more damn hour in the day? Lately, in my little […]

Post-Program Blues. I got a little too attached to Shortcut to Size.

So, as all of you blog readers of mine know, I did the 12-week Shortcut to Size program by the super fantastical Dr. Jim Stoppani. Anyone who is in anyway involved in the fitness world and knows who this man is – knows he’s amazing and well, amazing. My body is constantly changing. I do […]

The icing on the cake: I’m now I Sweat Pink Ambassador.

My “vacation” has come to an end. At least now I have a hell of a tan to show for it. Friday and Saturday were gorgeous and I was able to get all of the remaining yard work I had tackled – and done. After everything was picked up and put away, I probably gained […]
