New Personal Record!

Today was my first outdoor run in a week. I twisted the knee last week and was babying it on the treadmill. I pushed it today. I'm glad I did! Hit a new running PR! Almost 5 1/2 miles. If you told me three months ago my go to running distance would be 5+ miles, …

My Go To Social Distancing Cardio

Yes, even though we are social distancing we can cardio! I don't know about you but I abhor cardio with a passion. Loath entirely. HATE IT! But, it's great for getting the heart rate up, pumping the heart, and burning those calories. (Strength training is great too! I just don't have a million machines at …

It does get easier!

I have to keep reminding myself that the desire to get into the gym does get stronger. I'm in that phase of restart where everything hurts and my body is fighting. Like when I started it gets easier. Today is hard for me though. I've been hit with some anxiety. I've got a lot of …

The Struggle is Real

I've been struggling for the past week. Not a little struggle either, I mean big time. The way I'm feeling is familiar. It's a feeling of occupying my every thought.

What’s my secret?

I've been asked this so much over the past week. I mean a lot. I'm going to tell everyone my secret! What's the gimmick? What pills do I take? What's the drink? Are there body wraps? Surgery? The answer to all of those wishing is rather simple, no. I don't take diet pills. Just a …
