6 consecutive days of working out – done and done! I can’t remember the last time I went to the gym 6 times in one month, let alone in one week. Hubby and I each worked out for 3 hours this week, which is like the entirety of The Irishman. There were so many opportunitiesContinue reading “Day 6 of Challenge #1 – Break Your Own Record”

Day 5 of Challenge #1 – Pen It In
Our little man, Yoshi, got neutered today. He was such a trooper throughout, but became mopey once the cone came on and he realized he couldn’t play with any of his pup friends (little does he know that’ll be the case for a week). Anyway, who could resist that sad face?! All I wanted toContinue reading “Day 5 of Challenge #1 – Pen It In”
Day 4 of Challenge #1 – Alleviate PMS
Ladies, when that time of the month hits, all you want to do is stay in bed. Scratch that – take 2 Advil, grab a heat pack, and then return back to bed. Moving is the last thing on your mind. If you have to go to work, it might take all your strength andContinue reading “Day 4 of Challenge #1 – Alleviate PMS”
Day 3 of Challenge #1 – Walk it Off
The endorphins haven’t kicked in just yet, but I can now say that working out has helped me blow off some steam. It’s not the club I was gunning for (endorphins, come @ me), but I’m glad to have experienced this side-effect. What led me to experience this, you ask? Here’s my story and I’mContinue reading “Day 3 of Challenge #1 – Walk it Off”
Day 2 of Challenge #1 – Uphill Battle
Most people easily persist during the first couple of days of starting a new habit, but not I. Each day is an uphill battle and new opportunity to say nope. This is particularly true when it comes to working out because I don’t look forward to it (yea, I said it). It feels like anotherContinue reading “Day 2 of Challenge #1 – Uphill Battle”
Day 1 of Challenge #1 – Working Out
New decade, new me – let’s hope! While it’s hard for most people to commit to a goal, I seem to be an extreme example for those who absolutely can’t commit. I know people say if you really want something, you’ll do it, but that has never really been the case for me. The mostContinue reading “Day 1 of Challenge #1 – Working Out”
1st 30 Day Challenge – Getting Fit!
Ok so here we go: 1st 30-Day Challenge = Getting Fit! In an ideal world, is there ever a better goal? It’s one I never have gotten the hang of: I was never involved in any sports throughout high school or college, I’ve never been able to get on a workout schedule (the longest I’veContinue reading “1st 30 Day Challenge – Getting Fit!”
Sleep Cycles and Routines
I truly believe that a good night’s sleep is where it all begins. A restful night gives you energy to power through the day, make smart decisions, and be more efficient. The few times I’m able to get the golden 8 hours of sleep, which is usually on the weekends, my mood and mindset isContinue reading “Sleep Cycles and Routines”
Planning Is Not My Forte
I love the idea of planning, but due to my procrastinating ways, I don’t really plan that far out and rarely do I get everything accomplished that I need to do in a given day/week/month. I have bought countless planners in the past, with the goal of writing t0-d0s down or keeping them at theContinue reading “Planning Is Not My Forte”
A Fresh Start
It’s been well over a year since my first posts and I feel the need to pick-up where I started, but, of course, this time see some goals all the way through. In light of that, here’s five things you should know about me: I have a very difficult time committing to building positive habits.Continue reading “A Fresh Start”
