Completed the workout as scheduled today! I definitely had a great shoulder pump going on. At one point I thought my arms were going to fall off. 5 sets of dumbbell push press, superset with a seated Arnold press. BURN BABY BURN. Glad to have it done. :) Calories have... Continue reading

I didn't do a post in days because life has been crazy busy between work, home and family but all in a good way! Last Wednesday we celebrated my niece Mary's 3rd birthday. I enjoyed some pizza and homemade birthday cake and didn't regret it a single bit. I've been... Continue reading

Today was HIIT cardio for 30 minutes and Shoulders/Hamstrings/Calves weight training. I did the HIIT workout this morning before work and decided to do a full bodyweight circuit vs getting on any cardio equipment. I can't given specifics of the workout but it was basically 6 exercises repeated for 45... Continue reading

Monday after a busy weekend has me feeling tired but the workout is done. Back/Triceps/Abs. This Mom is TIRED! I thought of many reasons why I could skip but in the end decided "Nope, you have to blog about it so go and do it!" The blog helps keep me... Continue reading

This weekend was a busy but productive weekend. The cat woke me up around 6am on Saturday so I decided to get up early and start my day. I completed Week 1 - Day 5 workout Chest/Biceps/Abs and then spent the rest of the day tidying up the yard with... Continue reading

Workout today was 30 minutes of HIIT cardio. I'm taking a rest day from weights and will do the Friday Chest/Biceps/Abs workout tomorrow morning. :) I prefer to do my weight training on the weekend and I still hurt from Wednesday and Thursday so resting today makes sense! I did... Continue reading

I woke up early this morning so I could get the 45 minute cardio workout done early and leave the weight training session for after work. I knew if I left it all for the end of the day I wouldn't be able to finish. I’m SO glad I did... Continue reading

I woke up early this morning to get the workout done. I work from home 8-4 so I figured starting at 6:45 I'd have plenty of time to complete it. Nope, not even close! I got half the workout done lol. Today was Total Body Abs with the first giant... Continue reading

I woke up yesterday morning and could feel the workout from Sunday in my triceps. A sure sign of a good session the day before. Lol. I thought Day 2 workout might be a bit easier. Shoulders and legs and it didn't look too bad on paper. Lots of supersets... Continue reading

The Summer Shred program workout schedule is Monday-Friday with the weekend off but I love getting my workouts done on the weekend so I did Phase 1 - Week 1 - Workout 1 on Sunday, May 23rd. As the summer progresses I'll probably stick more to the Monday to Friday... Continue reading

It's been a very long time since I've done a blog post but I'm looking to get back at it! Working from home the past year and a half has had some ups and downs. I developed some bad habits of eating at my desk, snacking, watching WAY too much... Continue reading

Now that the cold weather is here I find myself craving nice warm soups. Roy makes an amazing beef stew, similar to how my Mom always made it, as well as a really nice chicken stew but I'm looking for something different. I have a craving for a nice cream... Continue reading

This upcoming Wednesday I'll be teaching POUND in Stratford from 6pm-7pm. All profits from this class will go directly to the Our Lady of the Assumption church to help families in need during the Christmas season. We did this last year for the month of December and it was very... Continue reading

Today was an amazing day! Roy and I took the kids to Watts Tree Farm to pick out our Christmas tree. :) This was our first time going to a tree farm to pick out our tree and it was an incredible experience. I enjoyed walking around trying to find... Continue reading

TGIF. It’s been quite a week. Jonathan was sick. Then we lost power for 23 hours yesterday. Got to work today and my poor husband got sick and I had to take him home. Thankfully he’s feeling a bit better after getting some rest. Allison is gone to a birthday... Continue reading

Quick post just so I can say I posted something for day 74. I was up bright and early for work this morning. Had my morning coffee and just plugged my flat iron in to do my hair. Roy went to wake Jonathan up and our little boy was feeling... Continue reading

Logging my food and getting 3 solid workouts in last week (Flex Monday, POUND Wednesday, POUND Thursday) really paid off. I was down 2.2lbs this week for my weigh in with TOPS. December 1st is this upcoming Saturday and I want to stay on track until the upcoming Christmas parties.... Continue reading
