Hey! Sorry to disappear. We went to my parents' house for 2 nights (Wed-Fri) for the 4th last week, and then the "extended family interpersonal situation" I mentioned recently escalated some over the weekend and has had my brain on the fritz. Since I'm the one who is home during the day (obviously working, but… Continue reading Steps woes and other updates
We have been having some AMAZING weather this week. Warm- like mid 50s I think yesterday?!- and sunny. Asher asked if "spring was here" now. Oh. Um, no. I'd love to say yes, but I've lived here long enough to know not to be fooled by Mother Nature's trickery. It will snow again. I actually… Continue reading Thursday misc., running update
Ohhhh I want this weekend to just keep going on!!! I liked this weekend so much. Friday was the big snow day, so although I worked, it had a "let's all just hunker down" feel. Then no work or school for any of us Saturday, Sunday OR today! (MLK Jr. Day Holiday) I feel like… Continue reading A perfect week and can the long weekend please continue?
I shared my fitness goals the other day, which are going well so far EXCEPT for one thing. My "do morning workouts" goal was based on the idea that it is the one time slot in the day that I can generally always count on.

Keep strength training regularly.… Continue reading Fitness goals for 2024 and new strength program
1. I am loving all of the "Yearly Round Up" posts that are starting to circulate. They are so fun to read and give me great ideas! Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to sit down and formulate any of my own thoughts on any of these yet. A few post ideas I've seen… Continue reading Friday 5: long-winded exercise update edition (and other misc)
Today I did something I haven’t done in a LONG time: I ran! On the treadmill, because it was very cold out and let’s not get too crazy. I really need to do more cardio. You all know I am Team Strength Training, and I feel pretty strongly that strength training is the secret sauce… Continue reading I ran!
Sneaking this in at the last hour! Can't miss a day in NaBloPoMo. I just got home from the gym about 20 minutes ago. It's currently 8:59 p.m. Inspired by Kelsey on the recent Girl Next Door podcast, I have been really trying to get a little creative with my workout schedule. On their great… Continue reading Late night post
How is it Thursday already?! I feel like this week is flying by. As promised, I'm just checking in to see if my week has, indeed, resembled any semblance of normal, or not. I'd say.... sort of. Ha. Wins: 🔷 I have worked out 3 times!! Monday - shoulders/tris at the gym. Tuesday - 30… Continue reading As promised, checking in
