Motivation Monday: Finally! A Normal Week!

This last week, I finally felt like we were back on track. All the sickness was finally out of our house and out of the boys’ daycare. It was our first “normal” week in a while. Which is to say that I got in a (mostly) normal training schedule for the first time in agesContinue Reading

Motivation Monday: Triathlons and Naps and Birthdays, oh My!

And so begins yet another week of fun in the Fit house. This week promises to be super epic. Not only because today is a holiday (score!) but because both my babies are celebrating birthdays this week! My sweet Fit Boy turns 3 on Thursday and my little Baby O. will be 1 tomorrow! IContinue Reading

Motivation Monday: In Transition

Oh my oh my what a week was had in the Fit house this past week! There were peaks valleys, mountains and mold hills. It was pretty crazy. As I talked about last week, the honeymoon of being a stay-at-home mom is about to end and my last full week home with the kids wasContinue Reading

Motivation Monday: What a Week!

This past week can only be seen as one big brain fart. From pretty much everyone around, including myself. I had my usual grand plans of 3 runs, 2 swims, 1 spin class. Things kinda went downhill after that. Here’s how the week was scheduled in my head: Sunday: run Monday: rest Tuesday: run andContinue Reading

There’s no Sorry in Pack Swimming

Last Saturday, I went to my second pack swim with a local group of swimmers. Some are triathletes, some (like me) are hoping to one day compete and others are there looking for a good workout. No matter the reason, we all got a good workout. For me, I also got some good tips andContinue Reading

Stepping out of my Comfort Zone

Here’s how this morning, not too long ago played out: I woke up at an ungodly hour and fumbled through my house trying to avoid sharp toys that hadn’t been put away, shoes that were thrown around and Fit Boy’s ever present stool that’s never in the spot I think he’s left it (I swearContinue Reading

Motivation Monday: Back in the Saddle

How was your weekend? For those who celebrated Thanksgiving, how was it? Good times, good eats? I hope so! I was living very vicariously through some pretty amazing-looking spreads. I think I’ve finally stopped drooling. My week was pretty good. I enjoyed the company of good friends at an Arbonne party on the weekend (IContinue Reading

Motivation Monday: Conquering the Long Run

Well folks, another week is in the books. Is it just me or does it feel like time is moving a bit to quickly these days. I feel like I just finish hitting ‘publish’ on one Motivation Monday post and it’s already time to draft the next one. This past week was another scorcher. WithContinue Reading

Motivation Monday: Adapting without Conceding

I’ve talked recently about my desire and intent on living a No Excuses lifestyle, especially when it comes to my health. As with any public declaration, it’s really just a bunch of words until you’re put in a situation that really tests your conviction. My time came this past week. Several times. While making dinnerContinue Reading
