  • January Roundup

    Well 2012 so far has treated me well. I’m still doing Insanity, on track to finish it this month! I’m loving it, actually. The challenge is pushing me and I love feeling my body tone up from all the work I’m doing. I am beginning to believe that the harder the workouts are the more…

  • Fake it ’til you make it

    Most people have heard this phrase. It could be in relation to just about anything, too. I have a problem with this “advice”: it doesn’t work for me. I faked being happy for a very long time, probably longer than I even know. I knew something was wrong but just ignored it and hoped that…

  • WTF am I doing?

    I started the second month of Insanity today. Fit Test and Max Interval Circuit. This is why they call it “Insanity”. Oh. My. Fucking. God. Admittedly, I struggled through the Fit Test. It took me ages to get my breath back between each move. But my results were good. 🙂 Move Fit Test 1 Fit…

  • To the Future!

    I’ve got some good motivation in the next few months to stay focused on all my goals: Chevron 7.8 is the last weekend of February. Amanda Tapping – need I say more? <3 I’m seeing Florence + The Machine with my lovely, gorgeous princess of a friend the first weekend of March! I have been…

  • Withdrawals…

    Ugh, I am going through withdrawals! Exercise, definitely! With the exception of a hike and a walk last weekend I haven’t done any and I’m missing it – big time. Monday I’m back to it thankfully. I have an annoying pain in my neck right now which makes it a bit difficult to do anything…

  • Week 1… Done!

    The first week back after time off is always the hardest! I kept up with Insanity workouts and even made it to the gym for a workout and an abs sesh on top of it. I am super exhausted today though, and work was a bit of a struggle I must admit. I have a…

  • Inspiration!

    Here is my Inspiration Board for this year. There’s a lot LESS on it this year compared to last year’s board. I decided insteading of just making a collage of everything I want to do EVAR… I would focus this year on a few things that are important. Complete Insanity – If you’ve been reading…

  • Insanity 15 Day Fit Test

    Today I had my 15 Day Fit Test! I was really pleased with the results. I did at least the same, if not better on every move. Move Fit Test 1 Fit Test 2 Switch Kicks 86 88 Power Jacks 34 34 Power Knees 80 101 Globe Jumps 7 9 Suicide Jumps 4 5 Push-Up…

  • 2011 Finale

    Happy New Year’s Eve! I love this time of year and looking forward to what the next year will bring. I’m making a huge pot of spaghetti for tonight, the sauce has been on since this morning and is in the slow cooker bubbling away. Spaghetti is one of my favourite foods, but only if…
