Workouts, nutrition and motivation to get healthy at home
I completely forgot to post my cardio workout that I did Sunday morning, so I’ll just include it in this post with today’s workout. I took an updated back photo today. I chose to not wear a sports bra in the pic like I normally do so I could see my whole back instead of [...]
When you’re trying to get down to a certain weight, it seems like the last few pounds is harder to take off. That’s how it was for me anyway. I started working out regularly about 2 months after my second son was born. I weighed 178 pounds the day I gave birth and I probably [...]
The photo in this post really has nothing to do with my workout today in any way but it’s Adrian Peterson and my Vikings are in the NFC Championship game this coming Sunday so I’m showing my team spirit! I realized today that I completely skipped shoulders. For my last workout I did back and [...]
I got a really great workout in today despite the fact that I’m fighting a nasty cold. If I would’ve known I was going to cough so much after the fact, I definitely wouldn’t have done any cardio. But I’m already done with it now and it feels good to get a great workout in! [...]
Today I finally got a strength training workout in – it’s been a few weeks! I kind of took it pretty easy but I’m definitely feeling pretty tired right about now. Getting started again is the hardest part and I’m so looking forward to being on a regular strength training schedule again. I’ve missed it [...]
Today was another cardio workout day for me. It’s really starting to get easier which makes me pretty happy because I’ve always hated cardio – more specifically steady state cardio – but it really does start to get easier once your body gets used to running. I’m pleasantly surprised how much I’m actually starting to [...]
Wow. I’m so sorry this workout post is kind of late. I got a message from a reader today saying that they were unable to leave comments. Well that can’t happen right now because that’s how you enter to win the EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale giveaway! Needless to say, I was agonizing over this problem [...]
I’m really liking the current workout split that I’ve got going on. Today was an upper body workout followed by HIIT (or high intensity interval training). My legs have actually recovered from my last lower body workout and that makes trying to sprint a whole lot easier. When I was doing the full body workouts [...]
Happy Saturday! I hope you’re having a good weekend. Only 1 more day until Vikings football is on again. Last week they had a bye week so I’ve been having withdrawals. Today’s workout was almost a full body workout. I did the 21′s workout again, minus the leg exercises, but then I did a 20-minute [...]
I'm so glad you're here - thanks for stopping by! I'm a married mom of 4 kids previously diagnosed with clinical depression who found an outlet and "cure" in working out. I hope you see something here that lights a spark that gets you started on a fitness journey of your own - or to continue the one you've already started. To learn more about me, please click here.
Enjoy the journey,
