I have taken my training to the outdoors recently. I want to run 5ks and eventually half marathons (I don’t think I could ever run a full marathon) and to do so, I need to get used to running outdoors again. It’s October and I am already worried about what I am going to do…

I have been seriously working on my weight for the past two months. I really started in May with just trying to get back into my healthier eating habits. In July I slowly worked in exercise. By mid-August I bought a scale and tape measure to really be able to track weight loss and body…

This blog is going to hit on a few different health & fitness topics I’ve come upon during my personal weight loss journey. Lately I’ve felt like everything I am working isn’t making a difference. I’ve been working out and eating under my calorie goal but I don’t physically see a difference. Saturdays are my…

My oh my… I haven’t written in quite some time! I recently went on a trip to San Diego. I want to write a post about that but I need to go through & pick out the best pictures to go with it. I only took 400 pictures while there. 😉 So be on the…

I started doing P90X last weekend and what it has forced me to realize is how bad I have let myself get. I have been working on my stretching and running at the gym but with P90X I have been forced to see how weak I am, how not flexible, how mushy my core had…

Running Dance (ballet, jazz, tap, modern, hip hop) Biking Rollerblading Pilates P90X Boxing Kickboxing MMA Weight lifting Hockey Basketball Volleyball Hiking I think that pretty much covers it. In the past I was a dancer. Now I am a runner….

With this weeks excessive heat warning and me running all over the place (in & out, in & out), I didn’t get to the gym much at all. I did get in a few short walks while running around for work. I feel bad but this heat is truly affecting me. I know I work…

I had a weird experience at the gym last night. I was doing my normal routine (warm up 5 minutes, run 3 walk 2) and had reached the 18 minute mark. I suddenly started to feel lightheaded/dizzy and it felt like all the heat was trapped in my body. I slowed to a slow walk…

I tried this new Bic razor out last week and let me just say, wow! I was impressed. So impressed I yelled out to the BF, “THIS RAZOR IS SO SMOOTH!”. His reaction wasn’t quite as enthusiastic as mine. He basically asked, “Aren’t all new razors smooth?” Men, they just don’t get it. 😉 This…
