Aerial Peter Pan

Hello, Lovelies! I have a fun post for you today! Last August I joined a group of fabulous girls in putting on a show, Peter Pan: an Aerial Introduction to the Characters! We all put in a ton of work over a short amount of time. It was all so fast and furious, learning routines…

No Chance of Success

Happy Monday, Lovelies! Good morning, I say at 1:03 PM. I literally just got up and got dressed. The mornings have been this way for me, I call it the winter funk. Emma drives herself to school now, so I have no reason to wake up early. So I’ve been staying up late and sleeping…

My Diet Saga

So, over the last three years, I’ve really let my fitness go. I’ve been active because it’s hard not to be when you are renovating a house. Being really fit requires you to do more than carry heavy stuff and step up and down ladders. However, finding that motivation is always a trick. Steve is…

Things I Think About When I’m Running

Well, I’ve signed up for the Camp Pendleton Mud Run for some unknown ridiculous reason. Since this will be my third mud run, I should have known better. However, my cousin Sara, texted me that she was doing it and was wondering if we were… Yadda, yadda, yadda, next thing I know, I’m doing it again. This…

“…is the New Pretty.”

Last week I woke up and hopped on the scale. I totally freaked out because I was still 158 pounds. I have actually put ON weight since I’ve been working out. I haven’t been dieting or running, I’ve only been crossfitting. I’ve been going at it pretty strong over the last five weeks or so.…

Back on the Fitness

If you’re like me, and probably millions of other people, you’d like to be in great shape… Naturally. That’s right, just perfect without ever having to workout or move from your bed or couch. Wow, wouldn’t that be awesome. Well, it doesn’t work that way and it never will. “Sawwies!” Today Emma and I agreed…

This is it folks! We are in our last week of training and in our first week of running for thirty minutes a day for as long as we want to!! Can you believe it? This week I broke the rules and ran 15 min, took a one min break and then hit it for…

Running! 12

Today marks Week 11! After 14 days of no running I finally got out there and ran stage 10. It was tough but I was so happy I did it. I had Steve rooting me on to not quit, so I made it through the two 13 minute runs and was very glad when it…

Running! 11

This week I did not run. There, I said it. I didn’t run, not a single day. I was up each morning by 0700 hours but never left the house. On top of being in the middle of a heat wave this week, I’ve been in the middle of the final stages of getting my house…

Running! 10

What a great running week! Which is weird because I only ran three times this week. However, on my last run I ran for 22 minutes straight. I just felt really good and decided to keep going. Emma was on her bike next to me and said she was sure I could keep running, so…

Running! 9

This week I caught up to stage 7! I was able to get into the running 8 walking 2! So I’ll do it a couple more times and then I’m into stage 8 and I’m caught up! The best thing I’ve done was to find an area with less hills. We have hills here no…

Running 8

What?! Stage 7? I can’t believe it! As you know, I stayed in stage 5 last week to get a little stronger. It was a good idea because I finished on top this week. The runs went smoother and I actually spent a lot of time thinking and looking around enjoying the scenery. When that…
