Workout Plan for the Week! 8/17 – 8/23

Without going in to too much detail, here’s my plan for the week. Once I usually jot this down (and this is literally the extent of it), I make sure to put it in to my calendar so I can readjust based on other appointments I might have on there. I also like to leave it … Continue reading →

8.13.15: Workout of the Day

This was all my post-work work-out (no pre-work work-out). Within the past few weeks, I’ve started running to the gym, doing about 15 minutes of light weightlifting (all on machines, easy on the belly), and running home from the gym. It typically gives me at least 2 miles of running, and I can get a … Continue reading →

8.12.15: Workout of the Day

Run: 1.6 miles Yup, that’s it. That’s all I did yesterday – partly because that’s all I had time for, and partly because that’s all I had to do. After work, the hubby and I had a day care visit (which we found the day care we want!), with about an hour and a half … Continue reading →

Workout of the Day (Part 1) – Thursday 4/2/15

Woke up at 4am, wide awake, so got in the pool by 5:15. It’s been awhile since I swam (at least a week), so my goal was to get at least a mile in. I had to make up my swim on the fly – typically, I have 3-4 workouts written out on notecards, and … Continue reading →

Workout of the Day: Monday 3/16

Sunday night always rolls around and I have the best intention of getting up early and to the pool. Then what happens is that we binge watch on our new Netflix DVD (we are on Homeland right now) and then it’s midnight. There’s no way at that point that I’m getting up to go to … Continue reading →

8.31.14 So life happened

Apparently it has been almost three months since the last time I posted. But the reality is this morning is really the first time I’ve had some real down time where I’ve wanted to commit to posting.  All my other down time I’ve kept for myself, savoring the quiet and the freedom that a few … Continue reading →
