While I love exercising outside not having the option to exercise inside has been getting to me. As the weather changes my workout windows are getting smaller. It’s getting dark earlier and the mornings are getting cold. I’ve been trying hard not to complain because I realize getting to live in an RV and see […]

A few months ago we visited the 9/11 Memorial. Needless to say, it was sobering. As I walked along walls covered with names of those who died, I came across this lone rose. Sometimes losses are too big for words. Other times words remind how big the loss. Further around the memorial, I saw a […]

Brent turns 40 today!!!!! Started the big day off with a short kettlebell workout he put together. 10 Clean and Presses 10  Burpees 10 Swings Repeat 4x. One set for each decade of life. We are going into this next decade of his life with the intention of making it the most fit, most adventurous, and […]

Today is my birthday and I have 10 minutes before we hit the road and head north. Ten minutes to write a birthday manifesto to myself. I lived my twenties in fear. Fear of fat. Fear of being swallowed up by depression. Fear of what others thought. Fear of being hurt by people. Fear of […]

I hope you had a good Memorial Day weekend. I had a sincere paradigm shift this weekend. Before this weekend, I’ve never really connected to the meaning of Memorial Day. Fortunately, I’ve never lost a loved one due to the horrors of war. I’m ashamed to admit but before this weekend Memorial day was more […]

I haven’t been honest with myself. The other day while on a walk with one of my sons, I saw a long stretch of green grass stretching through the empty campground. Sprints? But… Well… Okay. Late that afternoon, before the mosquitoes came out, Brent and I walked over to the empty length of lawn. I […]

A few weeks ago, while scrolling through Facebook status updates I noticed a self-portrait, or a “body shot”, of girl who was a friend of a friend (she had tagged my friend) taken from the hips to the shoulders revealing a very smooth flat tummy. I’ll be honest the flat tummy caught my eye long enough for […]

I remember being teenager and happily thinking that no one in my family had gotten cancer. I can remember going over each one of my aunts, uncles, and grandmas faces in my mind and confidently thinking “no cancer”. I may have to worry about tornados, sharks, and roller coasters getting stuck upside down but not […]

                    Hi guys! I hope you are doing well. I still haven’t found the time to edit my last workout video so I thought I’d talk about my current workout and eating habits. Because that’s exciting, right. 😉 In my last post, I mentioned that living […]

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 […]
