Workouts, nutrition and motivation to get healthy at home
The leaves are turning color and the seasons are about to change again. Well, I guess they have already since it’s now fall, but fall in Minnesota is very short! Snow, ice and sleet will be here before we know it and we can’t do anything about it. So, we’ll “work it”! When the seasons [...]
Me too. I wish I could say that I am but I failed the certification test that I took last weekend, by 3%. You have to achieve a score of at least 62% in order to pass and I got 59%. I took the fail pretty hard because I was sure I would pass. The [...]
I think challenges are a great way to stay focused on a long-term goal which is why I’ve elected to participate in the hardest challenge yet. Well, at least for me. Although I’ve come a long way with my running I think there’s always room for improvement, which is why I’m participating in a running [...]
Okay, I should just quit this challenge after these last couple weeks. However, I’m simply going to keep chugging along and just work with what I’ve got. The two biggest obstacles I’ve had is being diagnosed with a UTI and having my toenail ripped almost completely in half (across my toe, halfway down the nail!) [...]

Another week has come and gone, we’re now in week 6 of the Beat the Heat Summer Challenge! Thankfully the weather has been cooler and less humid here the past couple days, it makes it a lot more manageable to workout. Sucks when you walk across the street to your mailbox and start sweating immediately. [...]
Can I just say I suck at challenges? Cuz I do. I’m running less now than I did BEFORE I started this challenge. I think challenges really stress me out and then I just freeze. Sounds pretty stupid now that I really think about it. Fitness frustration aside, my husband and I are going through [...]
Welcome to Week 4 of the Beat the Heat Summer Challenge! So first up, my positive photo: This is my oldest son Blake who just turned 8 last week! Can’t believe it. He’s a trooper and I’m so proud of him for so many reasons. Love you B! What have you done this week towards [...]
This is really, really late. Week 3 of the Beat the Heat Summer Challenge was pretty much a FAIL for me as far as working towards my goals goes. Ah well. I took full advantage of our 4-day vacation and loved every minute of it! I contemplated skipping this Week 3 post considering tomorrow starts [...]
The second week of the Beat the Heat Challenge is now underway! If you missed week 1, you can view the beginning of the challenge here. 1. What progress have you made on your goals this week? Well damn. I only got 2 workouts in this past week along with my weekly 5K run. Laziness [...]
