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 […]

This is motherhood.

May 5, 2015.Reading time 3 minutes.

Motherhood has been an easy transition for me. I feel that’s mostly because of how I tend to my crazy dog, Dunkin. And, how I have been with my relationships with friends. The hardest part of motherhood has been… letting things go. For almost twelve weeks now, my household cleaning schedule has been mostly non-existent. […]

Workout Wednesday: Getting back in the game.

April 1, 2015.Reading time 5 minutes.

It’s not “This is what your brain is like on drugs”… It’s more like: This is what MY brain is like in anticipation of the first workout after WEEKS of not being able. First, the brain does a line of sheer ecstaticicity (yes, I’m going to go ahead and make up a few words today). […]

A Baby Story

February 21, 2015.Reading time 9 minutes.

What a few weeks this month of February has been. It was, to start, just another month, the countdown to baby was on… Then chaos set in. On the 12th, because of baby size and health factors of mine, a c-section was officially decided on. The date was set for the following Tuesday. Just a […]

Looking back: 2014.

December 31, 2014.Reading time 8 minutes.

Oh 2014 has certainly been a year. And looking back on it today, I found myself having a “moment”. Of course, I was having my most reflective moment of the year about 10 minutes before finishing my last workout in my gym, not for 2014, but forever. I found myself a little nostalgic as I […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Ice Bucket Challenge.

August 18, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

Let’s talk the ice bucket challenge. Ice bucket challenge? What’s that? Well, if you’ve been living under a rock or in a cave in the good ole U. S. of A over these past few weeks, this is the ice bucket challenge: If you’re called out to the challenge, you have to either donate $100 […]

Wednesday leg days.

June 20, 2014.Reading time 5 minutes.

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 […]
