For the last few weeks, Florida has been fooled into thinking it is spring. Well Mr. Groundhog proved Florida wrong by retreating into his underground tunnel and wishing a cold spell upon us all. And what do ya know, it is cold again! Which is wonderful because it makes it perfectly alright to stay inside, … More Day 42 and Lazy Saturdays
Another picture in the St. Pete vintage signs series. This is the Banyan Tree Motel. I’ve driven past it thousands of times and only recently noticed it. Only because of this 365 project. It’s a dinky old place that needs a good power wash. But the sign is wonderful. I believe they have vacancies. If … More Day 40 and Spinning Alone
Remember that leg workout I did Sunday? Well I’m still sore, especially the back of my legs, which is great. Taking two spin classes a week with regular sneakers means my quads are nice and strong. However my glutes and hamstring are a bit weaker in comparison. I can already tell it’s causing some imbalances … More Leg Shredding Workout
Superbowl Sunday! Do I care? Eh, not really. I’d rather watch hockey. But we were invited to a party by some close family friends and I couldn’t say no. We left early so I don’t know who won… but I hope it was not the Pats! Sorry Boston fans, you are pretty obnoxious. No offense? … More Day 36 and Lifting Heavy
Well today was a very relaxing day. For the entire afternoon I’ve hung outside studying ACE, doing sprints in the backyard, and annoying pelicans. Something else much needed? Long phone conversations with friends. My college friend called this evening and we ended up talking for hours. It was just the thing to cheer me up! Most … More Day 35
Food Two weeks ago I made some of Paige’s No Bake Protein Bars and happily munched on them as a great go-to snack. Since I finished that batch, I’ve been looking for another protein bar recipe. This morning I cracked open my last can of pumpkin for an oatmeal breakfast and was inspired to create some … More Chocolate Pumpkin Protein Bars and Beginner Ski Workout
Happy noontime! I’m coming at you with my awesome leg and ab workout I completed last night. You can “pin it” if you have Pinterest. I do! I do! As you can see, I kept the weight light and really focused on my form and made sure to power through each circuit without rest. It was … More Sweaty Lower-Body Workout
This is a self-portrait failure. I wanted to show off my new gym clothes but was holding Holly at the moment and she was too sweet to put down. So here you can see my new Champion clothes which of course I had to wear today. On top is another sleeved double-dry shirt in dark … More Day 30
Morgan and I baked! She got me a Fresh Market Mason Jar mix of oatmeal cinnamon chip perfection for Christmas. And oh my was it perfection. It must have been the cup of sugar. And two sticks of butter. But sometimes you have to give into perfection. Even if it’s not exactly healthy for you. … More Day 29
What do you think about when you hear the word exercise? Most people usually think about completing some form of cardio like running, biking, or stair master and lifting weights to build muscle. What we fail to forget is a crucial part of the human anatomy that allows us to do these strength training and … More Strong Feet, Balanced Body
