Iron Man brought me breakfast. Speaking of Iron Man I read on Self Magazine’s website that Scarlett Johansson used kettlebells to prepare for that skin tight black catsuit the role of Black Widow. Her on set trainer Bobby Strom was quoted saying, “but what she really loved was the strength training–things like pullups and kettlebells–and the idea […]

Honestly I’m tired of thinking about fitness today. I didn’t even workout. (Shhhh….don’t tell anyone.) Instead I’m going to tell you about my date. Tonight Brent and I went to a little Argentinian restaurant. There was live music. Brent loves watching live music. I… …love watching him. We shared an empanada. I had Pastel de […]

I am not with it when it comes to popular culture.  For instance, I still make Paris Hilton references.  I know. So it’s no surprise that I was clueless when I signed up to take a burlesque dance class/workshop.  I love all things vintage and in my mind I was going to a retro inspired Jazzercise […]

I know this is a health and fitness blog but the last few days I’ve just been enjoying some simple pleasures. I think that’s healthy too and I hope you’ll bear with me. Today I enjoyed making pizzas with a friend and our kids. Beautiful Laura. Homemade Pizza Dough Oh cheese how I love thee. […]

Today was an awesome day. We had a peaceful morning schooling. I got dressed by noon. My husband shaved. (nothing like kissing a smooth face) I also got in a few kettlebell swings. I’ve been wearing cut off tube socks “gloves” on my hands the last few days. (I ripped a callous off on Monday. […]

Update:  You can read my  FULL REVIEW of the Bodybugg V3 here! I did something impulsive. I emptied my sock drawer.  Not of socks but of the last of my birthday money.  I was planning on buying a pair of designer jeans. Instead I got this. See the black thing on my arm. That’s my […]

Yesterday morning we got up early and went to a breakfast for The National Day of Prayer.  It was at a hotel on the beach and simply lovely. When I got dressed it didn’t occur to me that I might match the decorations. We prayed for our city, our country, and our world.  I hope […]

I was planning on finishing up Part 4 of my Climbing the Ladder Series:  (Tools to Keep Your Weekend Interesting) but while I love lists (that was one of my first and all time favorite posts btw) I’m just not “feeling” my scheduled post today.  Instead, I want to talk about the 10KChallenge I just completed […]

This month I set out to complete the 10,000 swing challenge. This meant I “have to get  my swings in” be it the In-N-Out parking lot or rest stops. Never mind if people stared at me as if I was insane or I was embarrassing driving my family nuts. No siree. I won’t quit. The great […]

Ten years ago today a brand new chapter of my life was opened. I gave birth to my son via an emergency c-section. I was a senior in college and struggling with a severe mental illness but with his birth I God birthed a new me. While life has not been perfect since (it never […]
