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! I… Continue 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 was… Continue Reading
Motivation Monday: Here we go again
This last week, I hit a point of complete and utter frustration. I got sick again. This act has really gotten old for me. This winter has been brutal for germs and I have managed to catch nearly every single one that’s gone around. I went through this a couple of years ago and it was completely… Continue 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 and… Continue Reading
I Put the Try in Triathlon
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I refer to myself in my bio as a “wannabe triathlete”. It’s a goal, a vision and a dream that I’ve been wanting to make a reality for a couple of years now. This past Saturday, I got one step closer to my goal by competing… Continue 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 swear… Continue Reading
Motivation Monday: Broken Record not Record Breaking
I’m starting to sound like a broken record but I guess when you have little kids, it’s just a given that you’re going to have an endless stream of germs in your house. And when you take your kids to church…it’s even worse. This past week, my poor little Fit Boy caught yet another cold.… Continue Reading
Fit Mom’s Fit Goals for 2011: Update
So we’re approaching June and I haven’t given an update on how my goals for 2011 have been going! So far…I think I’m doing pretty good. A little slow on the get-go due to icky winter, ickier few weeks of illness but when I clicked on my DailyMile stats, I was pretty impressed and proud… Continue Reading
Why I swim
I took swimming lessons as a kid for a couple of years. I didn’t get or go far. I didn’t like getting my face wet and I was afraid of the deep end. It was completely overwhelming. Even at 7-8 years old, I was already self-conscious about being the oldest in my swim class (and… Continue Reading
