It’s Girl Hero time again! This Girl Hero is extra special because she is my sister-in-law.  Kristi is a hairstylist and mother to three wonderful boys!  Her and her husband Garrett enjoy being outdoors and cooking together and, boy, can they cook.  Seriously, Thanksgiving at their house is nothing short of AMAZING.  This spring Kristi […]

I finally filmed (and edited with the help of Thing 1) my first workout of the 48 workouts I’m planning to film while we travel this year and uploaded it to my brand new YouTube account. This workout was done in Yosemite National Park overlooking Half Dome about an hour before sunset.  This location is […]

I made a tough decision last week.   I dropped it off at Goodwill (along with a candle that I just love and a curling iron that I still can’t use). I have had the same scale since I was in high school.  I was planning on taking it with me. Over the years I’ve […]

We are at Brent’s parents for a few days organizing and getting rid of more stuff before we head up to the San Jose area.  This means I’m not working out and I’m eating too much don’t have much to say about food and fitness right now.  Seriously, I think I’ve put on about 5 […]

Hi guys! We moved into the rv!  Finally! The last two weeks have been B-U-S-Y.  Moving 4 people into a 280 square foot home was not an easy task.  At times is was maddening and I cried puddles more than once.  We left Ventura late Sunday night.  I’m chronicling our travel journey over on my […]

Life is crazy.  We live on a ginormous spinning sphere of matter that rotates with a bunch of other spheres around a massive beyond comprehension inferno of gases.  Then there are caterpillars that turn into butterflies, male seahorses that hatch babies, and anteaters.  Wonderful craziness. Anyway… My life is particularly crazy in the strange way […]

Recently (as in last weekend) despite the current craziness of getting ready to leave for a year long road trip, I attended the TRX suspension training course. The TRX suspension training course was hosted at YuBfit in Huntington Beach.  It was taught by three TRX trainers, one who was a formal physical therapist. Here is […]

Boy, do I miss blogging!  I can’t wait to get back to regular writing and reading in a few weeks. It looks like we’ve set a planned date of departure, October 16th.  Two weeks from today!  Craziness! I’m equally nervous and excited. Right now, my life is a whirlwind of trips to the thrift store, […]

I’ve been in a blogging funk.  It seems that writing 31 days to a Better Body Series took it out of me. Oh and I’m moving into an rv for a year or more in a few weeks.  Downsizing four people into a little 300 square foot home is  a guaranteed recipe for crazy  a […]

This morning I was scrolling through twitter and saw one of my kettlebell buddies tweet, “911 swings done”. My heart sunk. This evening, I headed to the beach alone with two kettlebells to do 911 swings in honor of those who lost their lives 10 years ago today. In Honor of Heroes Workout – 911 […]
