Re-Boot



I sincerely apologize for my absence all summer! I do have fantastic news though!!

I will be  running in the Pittsburgh Half Marathon in May 2016. I was invited by my friend, Nicole, and this is just what I needed to get my butt back in shape! I will be starting my training this week and I will be doing some fun 5k and 10k races to keep myself going. One of them is the Bark 'N' Dash at Quiet Waters Park. I will be bringing my pooch, Maybelle, with me so she can distract me when I'm starting to drag.

I am also planning to run my third Tough Mudder next fall... which means plenty of runs in between!! if anyone wants to do a fun run or join me on one of these other ones, please do!! I always love company!

Looking forward to sharing my story with all of you.

Exercise Your Demons!

So.... today i realized one of my favorite little "added" workouts is to crank up the music while I'm cleaning and dance around the house! I feel like it's a great way to keep myself moving and in a good mood while I'm doing all the things no one likes to do. vacuuming has become much more tolerable and can I just tell you.... dishes were never more fun! I get a lot more work done around the house when I do it this way and, while there is always more to do, I feel much more accomplished when I can say it was a worth while workout. Having said all that, working so much this spring, a workout and diet plan has been incredibly difficult. Between 10-11 hour shifts and lack of help around the house, meal prep has become sort of a figment of my imagination. I do try my hardest to stay on track, but the unhealthy stuff is just so much easier!! I have managed to make it to the gym at least three times so far this week and got in a total of 8 miles in ...

Just keep trying

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. I can sit here a throw a bunch of the usual cliche one liners at you like "you're lapping everyone on the couch" and "If it was easy, everyone would do it".... but I'm not gonna do that.  The truth is that, while those things are true, the better and more truer truth is that you will have a much better sense of accomplishment and self worth if you do it for yourself. Don't throw on your workout gear and hit the gym to out-do the guy next to you. Don't throw on that 21 Day Fix workout and try to be like Autumn. You are not these people and what these people do and say do not directly affect you...  unless, of course what they are saying is "you are about to be struck by a vehicle" - then I might be inclined to listen to that person and get the hell out of the way of the car. Every one of our big accomplishments are actually an accumulation of a lot of small accomplishments. So ...

If At First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try Again...

So today was a vast improvement! I overslept but the good news is that I didn't have to be in until 9 today instead of 7.... so I still had time to get my Upper Fix in!! And now my armpits hurt and my arms feel like limp noodles. That's ok though, that means I worked hard!! I was hoping to also squeeze in a mile run this morning, but that one had to be skipped. I feel like on these days where the focus is on arms or legs I want more of a heart racing sweat (pardon my former inner runner coming through). So anyway, I got my Upper Fix in and then managed to continue on with my morning feeling right as rain. Got to work, had a good (yet crappy - there weren't many good incoming sales leads as we had hoped) day. I went to a brief meeting for Relay For Life in Southern Anne Arundel County this up coming June (please let me know if you're interested!! I'd love to see you there!) and then headed to Lusby to visit a friend of mine and give her some info on Lawn Care. In...
