I've been feeling a little lacking in motivation lately, kind of. It's a little hard to explain. It's more that I feel like on the whole, I'm not as "hard core" on certain things as I used to be.

What a difference some sunshine can make! Although I am usually actually a big sucker for cloudy, cozy, rainy (or snowy) days, there is something about the first days of warm sunshine in the Midwest that just feels SO GOOD. Yesterday we had full sunshine all day, despite chilly temps in the upper-40's/low- 50's. I had… Continue reading Yo-Yo workout and another weekend at home
