Fitness, Parenthood, Writing
The overachiever in me has gone insane. My brain apparently has a limitless supply of capacity and is hungry for more. Someone needs to take all technology away from me, and all utensils I can use to draw, write, knit or crochet. And books, don’t forget to grab my hundreds of books on the way […]
Read MoreAround six years ago, while I was soaking up the rays of the social life, much more than I am now, I was given the nickname Miss Fitness. It came about one night, in a packed bar, when I happened across a $50 bill on the floor that went unclaimed and the bartender let me […]
Read MoreA few weeks ago on the way down to Boston, a conversation arose about training and trainers. Pretty much everyone I know knows my stance on just what I think a trainer should be, and it’s shocking to me to discover that there are people out there who don’t hold to even half the standards […]
Read MoreIt’s that time of year where my gym gets an influx of new members (majority is male) looking to either change their lifestyle or stick with the gym because they’ve just recently been assigned to our Coast Guard station here.

You might, like I do, sometimes, pull out your phone and start scanning them, seeing how they fare on Fooducate. The verdict? […]
Read MoreI’ve been following a lot of fitness pros and up-and-coming pros through magazines and social media for years. Over those years, I have learned a lot from their stories and tips that they have shared. I have found inspiration to dig deep within myself and push myself beyond the limits I thought I had. Meeting […]
Read MoreNothing throws a wrench into my system more than an injury. Except a backed up sewer pipe, an overflowing washing machine, a toilet that rises instead of flushes and a tub full of sludge and muck. That was the story of my weekend. I missed the North Atlantic Blues Festival and a band called the […]
Read More… you realize that you’re not invincible. By the end of an eight, 10 or 12 week program, you can do said program forwards and backwards. You can do it in dropsets or 5×5’s if you want. That log never leaves your bag because you can mentally update it. You’re like Rocky atop the steps, […]
Read MoreOne of the most basic and simplest concepts of working out is, eating. You need to eat to grow and you need to eat to perform. It’s something I learned very, very early on in this journey. Which is why, when I read or hear things like “you can’t ever do cardio if you want […]
Read MoreI’m a photographer for a reason. I belong BEHIND the camera, not in front of it. Once in awhile, I’ll feel a little sassy and snap a photo of myself with my phone or something, but it’s a rare occasion. However, I’m a strong advocate for the “Photos are the best thing for tracking your […]
