Yesterday we had record breaking temperatures and I was pissed off because I couldn’t train in the morning (due to a bad reaction to a new supplement I am taking). There I was, all warmed up…then all of a sudden, I feel wheezy, dizzy and HOT. I began forming a heat rash all around my ears, arms and legs. I immediately went to my car to consume a granola bar (that I leave in there for Christian) and drink water.…
Wanting “it”
September 27, 2010September 27, 2010 Life has been incredibly intense lately. I’ve been tightening up on my diet, working out more intensely, creating longer task lists and scheduling my days as if there were 28 hours in a day instead of just 24. While it’s been a long road since I complained about working too hard after giving birth, it’s been a road that is starting to reap some real results. My body is getting firmer, my work is paying off and…
Mommy Fitness Blog: I have my period, AGAIN.
September 24, 2010It’s Friday and I know there is no set date that I post this mommy blog but at least I get it done! Right?! That’s what I tell myself whenever I’m able to make it to the gym – which is around 5am in the morning these days! Honestly, I lacked a whole-lotta motivation earlier this week. It was tough to work out because I had so many work priorities. If I wasn’t out the house by 5am, then I…
Creation begins with a choice
September 17, 2010September 16, 2010 I’ve wanted to create Nicholas’ photo album, walk my parent’s dog, create a new business site and update my nonprofit site for the past months now. After a full day of marketing at a middle school, going to Kinko’s, the bank, the grocery store, the gym, the pharmacy and my care home, I was finally able to re-draft a fitness article I submitted just five minutes ago to my editor. Right now I am in attack mode…
Mommy Fitness Blog: I’m BACK! And ready to Get’r DONE!
September 13, 2010I haven’t been posting for this past week because I’ve been in Hawaii! Yes, it was a very fun time for my family and I to relax, get away and chill at the beach. I made it a point EVERY day to get into the ocean. I am a certified sun baby and love being in the cool ocean for some natural therapy. We brought the boys so it wasn’t THAT much of a vacation. In fact, Christian had the…
Mommy Fitness Blog: stomach flu’s, headaches and WORK.
September 3, 2010Usually my favorite part of the day is when I get to sleep at night – but lately, I’ve been sleeping in Christian’s bed with him as he has been sick these past few days with the stomach flu. Days before he was vomitting, last night he had a huge fever. While he can be a bit fatigued and whiny during the day – all in all, he seems completely normal during the day time. No diarrhea today so far! …
My rock
September 2, 2010September 1, 2010 I don’t usually update this site during daylight hours as it is 3:40pm as I type. However, it seems that whenever I can put in hours anywhere I do. If I have 30 minutes to train, I get on my treadmill in the garage. If I need to eat, I consume one of my pre-made tuna sandwiches in the fridge. If I need to clean, make phone calls or run errands, I test myself to see how…
