  • It’s All About Perspective

    Let’s talk about perspective today. I had to stop myself this morning from some negative thoughts that were seeping into my head during my lifting and remind myself that I need to give myself a break and credit instead of giving myself a hard time. If you change the way you look at something, it…

  • Marriage: Growing Together

    Marriage is Hard Work This week my husband shared a story about a couple we know that are no longer together. It was quite a shock to hear the news that they are divorcing – they seemed very well suited for each other, had a couple of kids – just like me and many of…

  • Dead Liftin’ workout

    So as tired as I was from going out last night – and as hard as my little internal monster voice tried to talk me out of going to group training this morning – I went. My ‘other’ voice said “it’s only one hour – you don’t have to work today – you can take…

  • Deadlifts in today’s workout

    Last week I mentioned how I was buckling down and really re-focus on what I am eating. I lost 2lbs this past week — which was welcome news. I have been having a 150 calorie ice cream treat every night and I decided to cut that out 5x a week to see if it could…
