Moment of Transformation

July 26, 2011

July 26, 2011 It never fails. At least once a day while playing with my sons or putting them to sleep – I think about the moment I brought Christian home for the very first time. He was sleeping and swaddled in a green blanket while I placed him softly on our bed. I remember staring at him in complete awe that this small human being was now in this world and in my responsibility. I could still smell his…

I had not run in at least three months and I stopped working out regularly for almost my entire pregnancy so far (four months.) My fitness calendar is sadly looking pretty empty. I only ran for about 20 minutes but what makes it extra special is that it was outside!…

Mommy Fitness Blog: Getting off my rollercoaster ride.

July 7, 2011

It’s been so incredibly busy for the last month that I’ve devoted little time to many of my projects including this site. Don’t feel bad – I’ve neglected myself too! I workout MAYBE 1-2 times a week. I decided, however, to start waking up at 5:30am again to train because it’s getting crazy hot here (100 degree temps) and I REALLY detest waking up with my son pulling my hair and armpit skin. (I know that sounds gross but he…
