(Source) Hope you had a great weekend and for those who are mothers a fantastic Mother’s Day.  I bought myself a little present that I’ll tell you about later this week   but first I want to finish my Climbing the Ladder:  Fun Workout Tools series. Here are links to the earlier posts if you want […]

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 […]

The window is clean.  In fact, I’ve stepped out of that small room out into the sunshine again!  (Big cheesy grin.)  I’m excited for this week!  I have a new recipe and another Girl Hero (always my favorite posts) lined up. Today, I want to continue my series on program design tools, a fancy way […]

Source It has been one of “those weeks”.  I’ve felt stuck in tiny room with one only one window that’s covered thick with grime. I know there is a beautiful world out there but my Windex bottle is empty.  Dammit. I could ramble and muse on (and on and on) about my feelings but, honestly, […]

Traditional ladders are something I generaly avoid – seeing as how I fell off backwards when I was painting my son’s border in his nursey when I was 8 months pregnant.  The only thing hurt was my pride. For the most part, I stick to basics (squat variations, swings, presses, pull-ups, dead lifts, ect) for […]

Don’t tell anyone but I can be a little obsessive and what some might call a tad bit obnoxious. For instance, packing for our road trip across the desert to Arizona on Friday I insisted that we take all our veggies (including wilted dandelion greens) from the CSA despite knowing full well we wouldn’t eat […]

You may have heard of a new study that was circulating various news sources last week.  (Thanks Charlotte for the tip off on Twitter.)   The gist of the study was that women need an hour of moderate intensity activity  7 days a week to maintain a “normal” weight. So what does this mean for women […]

My blog is not new but I’m new to “blogging”.  Let me explain.   I’ve been writing and silently reading a few other blogs for a while now.   Recently, with Janetha’s encouragement, I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and interact with other bloggers.  Don’t roll your eyes.  It’s not easy when […]

(Is it just me or does anyone else get ill looking at this picture?) It seems like everyone from celebrities to bloggers are talking about the kettlebells these days.  😉  Some have good advice others not so much but one thing everyone seems to be agreeing on is a kettlebell is one heck of a […]
