You know all of those amazing posts out there that talk about ‘real life’ and inspire and encourage us all? Yeah this isn’t going to be one of those… Sometimes life isn’t over booked, there is nothing you can cut out. Sometimes normal everyday life is the most overwhelming of it all. The need to […]
I was listening to “The Chalene Show” podcast on the way to work today and was hit so hard by part of it I actually forgot what the general topic was. In her podcast “How to Not Worry What Other People Think,” she addresses several topics including: We can NEVER truly know what is going on […]
One of the hardest things we do as parents/spouses/caretakers, is take care of ourselves. I’ve been struggling lately to actually get out of the house and do a solo run. There are a lot of factors, but mostly it’s me telling myself all the things I have to do that “nobody else can,” and that’s not […]
If just 1 person sees this post and it removes a barrier for them to workout I’ll be one happy mama. So please comment below with your fit mom confessions. All runs over 5 miles and all workouts that involve any level of jumping (even jumping jacks) are done with a poise pad. Embarassing? A […]

I don’t know who ‘They’ are but for the last several years that I’ve been running Mac (my hubby) and Bryan have been telling me I needed to cross train. I knew this was true, however I liked running too much to listen to them. Then I had not 1 but 2 little girls 13 […]
Dishes, laundry and dust bunnies are the bane of my exsistance. I can’t keep up with them to my level of satisfaction and I can’t ignore them without stressing out and losing time. For some reason I feel (as so many of us do) that I can do everything. I can work a full time […]
I know that many people look at my workout/transformation pictures and think “its so easy for her, what about me?” There is truth in that statement. I am blessed to have a body that responds well to working out. HOWEVER I do struggle, I’ve talked about my sugar addiction before and today I wanted to […]
We all know that life changes when you have kids, but one of the areas I never thought about was when I was sick…. Well that hit full force yesterday. Its one thing to have a cold and just not feel good its a whole other thing to have a 24 hr stomach bug that […]
