I saw this quote last week about our bodies + exercise: "Your entire life happens inside your body. It's the one home you will always occupy and can never sell. But you can renovate it. If you can only pick one habit to build, exercise might be the one. Everything is downstream from how your… Continue reading Random exercise rant
Wheeeeee that was fun to watch last night!! Chloe Kim on snowboarding halfpipe= GOLD Nathan Chen on figure skating= GOLD They were both absolutely spectacular. That's the only word that kept popping into my mind. SPECTACULAR! (I like that word. It sounds like a definite step up from "great" or "amazing". Spectacular is up there… Continue reading Spectacular
Well, this was eye opening. If you had asked me, "Did you workout a lot in 2021?", I think I would have probably answered, "Yeah, most days! Some stretches here and there I got off track, but overall, yes, more often than not." But data doesn't lie. 🙂 Here are my stats from 2021: *(small… Continue reading 2021 Workout recap + 2022 plan
I returned to the gym on October 18th (the day after my b-day), so I'm now in my 3rd week back. I'm proud to report that so far, I have met my goal of going 3x/ week for weight room sessions (as I said, currently doing 1. shoulders/triceps 2. legs 3. back/biceps). IT FEELS SO… Continue reading Happiness in the gym
I went back to the gym! I hinted that I was planning to do this post-birthday, and I did! (pat self on back). My official return was on Monday afternoon, after an eye doctor appt. I had my eyes dilated, so I really couldn't see to go back to work for a while anyway. But… Continue reading “3 Things I Did” Thursday
I'm kind of excited that my birthday falls on a weekend this year!! I'm feeling the whole "birthday weekend" idea. Normally I don't really care a whole lot about my birthday...I am not someone who takes the whole week off work, books a bunch of special things to do, etc. But I do love the… Continue reading 7 am vs 7 pm, birthday weekend, return to gym?
Yesterday was Asher's very first 5:30 a.m. swim workout. As part of the scheduling dance to fit everyone in throughout the week, his group is assigned the Wednesday 5:30 -6:45 a.m. slot. His other practices are always in the evening, so it's just one early day per week (and, it's optional.) But when the schedules… Continue reading Early morning workouts
When we got home from vacation this past Sunday, I intentionally told myself I wasn’t even going to think about exercise for at least a few days. I know how much effort it takes to get back in the swing of real life again, so I just completely removed that from my plate. (I think… Continue reading Back to exercise
Happy kickoff to Memorial Day weekend! I am working today but the boys have off. In true Wisconsin fashion, we are enjoying a summer-like start to the holiday weekend: Blows my mind that last weekend I was wearing shorts and a tank top and sweating in 88 degree temperatures, and yesterday was rainy ALL day… Continue reading The Murph, Memorial Day & More
I knew it would happen....it always does. We had the most gorgeous weather last week. We hit 60 degrees, the kids even wore SHORTS to school almost everyday (ridiculous- it was not that warm, but whatever. I am 100% over arguing with small people about what they will or will not wear, considering that it… Continue reading Fake spring & workout completion!
