Other possible titles: He’s a Metabolic Machine | I Hate Him Why Can HE Eat So Much Crap and I Can’t? He’s Eating. AGAIN. Really? My Pooch Is Back and It’s All His Fault So we’re settling in at the farm and enjoying our new co-borrower-shacking-up relationship. I always sorta knew that he ate a [...]
It’s not unusual for me to feel a bit overwhelmed with deadlines, projects, and life in general. After all, I’m well practiced at handling being ridiculously over committed. Over the years, I’ve honed a few skills and habits that help ease the stress: Conquering email clutter Taking breaks Delegating Saying no to noise and needless [...]
When I first bought my jumprope (a while back), it was ugly. Picture Lucy with a jumprope. That was me. But it was more pathetic than funny. I tried. I showed the BF+ my attempts. He tried to be kind and hide his astonishment, but I know THAT look in his eyes. Just like his [...]
To most ordinary people this may look like a very nice laundry room. And it is. A lovely laundry room indeed. But turn around 180 degrees…. and shaZAM! Yep, one of the coolest things about the farm is that we have this REALLY big room downstairs that works great for a well equipped home gym. [...]
I’m not a runner. I do not race. I’m not training for tough mudder. I’m not trying to lose weight. <I always pine for 5 pounds lighter, but not enough to give up half-and-half, nuts, or chocolate.> I will never be a fitness model. So what’s the point? I was reminded of the point during [...]
I’ve been battling the couch potato syndrome. Again. I haven’t been completely inactive. Recently I’ve developed a reluctant fondness for a few group classes. Yep, you heard it here. I actually like step and spin classes. Who am I? But I haven’t been doing my old school, resistance workouts. Remember those? The ones where pushups, [...]
I have been guilty of the calorie obsession. Calories in. Stalking my HR monitor on the calories burned. It is definitely an interesting “exercise”. And I’m happy to say I’m not in that mode now. I have a little-by-little, celebrate-the-small-victories kind of approach to fitness. Since I’m not obsessed with calories, I’ve been thinking a [...]
What’s so great about running? I never ran a mile in school. I never thought it was fun. I took a class in college, and after 7 weeks, I still wasn’t enjoying it. So I dropped it. But then I plugged into this wonderful fitness tribe. A lot of you run. A lot of you [...]
Our workouts are constantly evolving. Sonjia is always introducing new moves to keep us interested and challenged. Our “old” warm ups consisted of 3 – 5 rounds of old school moves – body weight squats, easy assisted pull ups, pushups, and sit ups. But I gotta say, our new mobility warm up feels SOOOOO good [...]
I was VERY excited to get back to my CrossFit class after my time off (due to health, family stuff, and overall sluggishness). Until I saw the board. Say WHAT? This is NOT what I had in mind for my easing back into my groove! I’ve heard of the Lumberjack 20 Memorial WOD – it’s [...]
