I’ve never owned a hydration pack but after a few days on the slopes, I knew there had to be a better way to stay hydrated than continual trips into the lodge for a few sips of water. So I was thrilled to be able to try and now share a CamelBak Review. CamelBak Review The Ice [...]

My jeans are finally fitting better. I haven’t made an effort to lose weight since I trained for my RKC weekend. I’m generally pretty comfortable in my body (most of the time) but over the last year as we traveled I ate more calories than than I burned. Pretty simple.  I wasn’t fat…not by a [...]

We made the cover of a local paper! I was a little nervous because the article could have taken a very different direction because sometimes people aren’t comfortable when others live unconventionally. As it turned out the article was better than we even imagined and really captures what it’s like to live full time in [...]

This morning I was laying in bed thinking about the new month, February.  I was thinking about doing a fitness challenge this month but as I lay there under my warm blankets I thought of another challenge, challenge that, for me, is much harder than any sort of fitness goal but one that reaps benefits [...]

It’s hard to believe we’ve been in Colorado for almost two months. It’s been cold. It’s been challenging. It’s been fun at least when there aren’t icicles coming out of our faucet. True story. Over the last few months, our heater broke twice (like I feared), our water has frozen multiple times, and I’m certain [...]

When we decided to spent the winter in the mountains of Colorado I knew I needed some new cold weather gear. I especially knew I needed some warm winter boots since I’m trying to walk 3,000,000 steps this year. So I began a search for cute winter boots…errr….I mean the best winter boots. Because when [...]

I admit when I first came across the new MAC Strength ad with a female bodybuilder, I was a bit startled. Is this real? Yes it is, unlike, the fake “My butt is big” Nike ad that circulated the internet a few years ago. Who is this beautiful woman in the ad? Her name is Jelena Abbou. [...]

  I’ve been writing this blog for almost 5 years and with the New Year I’m reevaluating where I want to go with the site. It’s been a great hobby with many rewards. I’ve made many friends who I would not have met otherwise and blogging has helped to keep me accountable and motivated. Since starting [...]

A few weeks ago, we visited a small church. As part of the service four tables or stations with reflective activities were set up around the room.  At one of the station there were thin slices of tree trunk on which we were invited to write a word of the year. I chose the word, [...]

The New Year is just around the corner and with that comes a slew of New Year’s Resolutions. This is year I’m taking a different approach t0 resolutions rather than change a “bad habit” I’ve decided to improve upon an already good habit, walking. I’m setting a goal to walk at least 3, 000,000 steps [...]
