NASM Certified Personal Training
As you might be able to tell from the title, I have a very exciting announcement: I am studying to be a National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer! If you remember from way back in June, I hinted at a box that had arrived at my parents’...Iron-Packed Spinach Balls Recipe
Spinach balls used to be a staple during my family’s Christmas holidays. They were delicious, addictive, and laden with butter and stuffing. When I found this recipe on Pinterest, I was ecstatic. A healthy, iron-packed version? I’m in. A few of you asked...Biking it Out
Considering my foot has been really bothering me all week, all of my workouts started with the stationary bike. I would have taken my bicycle riding outdoors, but I have yet to buy a bicycle. Monday – 35:00 run (4.20 mi) – Descending Sprints Tuesday...What’s Cookin’ Good Lookin’?
What do you do on a Saturday night when you can’t really walk and have just finished a monthly stock up trip to Costco? Cook up a storm! While Rob prepared for his first day with kids happening on Monday, I got busy in the kitchen trying out some new recipes....Gym Pet Peeves
About half way into my lift at the gym today, two male teenagers walked in and headed straight for the weights. Now, I am not one to judge what other people are doing in the gym, but these kids demonstrated a few mannerisms that started me thinking about some of my...Karma
Well, today is a little disappointing, but probably deserved after my gloating. Yesterday, I headed to the gym in my new Asics and heel inserts and hit the treadmill for 35 minutes of speed work. The Asics I use have a stability bar to stop me from overpronating. My...Getting Meaty in the Gym and in Lasagna
Well the middle of the week didn’t turn out so well because of my two late nights at work. At least the weekend rocked. Just as a reminder, on Friday I managed to do triceps with this bad boy. I know I mentioned it yesterday, but I am still pretty proud of...Weekend Highlights
After a long week, I was ready for a relaxing, out-of-the-house weekend. Thankfully, that’s what I got. Here are some sweet highlights. Our box from Vietnam arrived! The box contained about eight books that were too heavy for our suitcases. I’m glad it...Brain Fry
My brain is slightly fried due to back-to-back late nights at work (7pm) and non-stop data digging this week (the life of an interventionist). In lue of a more substantial post, I wanted to share a few videos that I found hilarious. They are super short, 5 seconds,...Don’t Get Caught in the Lightening
Last Thursday, Rob and I walked to Dairy Queen as a treat and in support of Miracle Treat Day. We ate our blizzards while watching some storm clouds roll in and then had to hightail it home as the lightening started getting closer and the rain picked up. We literally...Back in the Racing Game
This morning started bright and early as Rob and I got up to run a local 5k. The town we moved to, Littleton, began a week-long fest on Friday called “Western Welcome Week”. The week is full of events like races (running and bicycles), children’s...
