Working Out: Week 16

Happy Monday, y’all! It was a crazy week between the holiday celebrations and trying to get everything set for Smalls to start public school (long story), but I managed to wrangle my eating and get back on track with workouts. Go me! But seriously, I finally finished reading Trim Healthy Mama cover to cover, and…

Weekly Workouts: Week 12

Time to share my how I have been working out for the past week!

Happy, happy Monday, y’all! Last week was rough around here. Ish was gone at a conference, which meant that I was parenting alone (and decorating on a bum leg). I’m getting a bit more mobility, which is awesome, but it still hurts like the dickens when I try to do too much. In fact, as…

Weekly Workouts: Week 11

Time to share my how I have been working out for the past week!

Happy Monday, everyone! Did you have a good Thanksgiving? We had a wonderful time with my girl crush, Kara and her crew. We had an awesome day, and cooked steak and shrimp rather than the traditional turkey. Oh. My. Lord, y’all. I brought my killer Wildtree seasonings. Holy cow. Grilled flank steak and creamy pesto…

Weekly Workouts: Week 10

Time to share my how I have been working out for the past week!

Guess what? I got my cast of last week! Which means that I’m semi-mobile again. It’s been 5 weeks since I broke my fibula at derby practice, and I am so glad to be done with that cast! I have definitely lost some muscle tone, so I’m slowly working up to walking around the block…

Meal Planning Saved My Marriage (Letting Go Of Excuses)

You really should consider meal planning. It's really a great tool! Join me later this month for a workshop!

So we all know that I broke my leg playing roller derby, right? Right. Of course I broke it on a Thursday, which mean that there wasn’t a lot of food in the house, since I generally have just enough to make it to Sunday. We eat fresh foods. Suddenly, I wasn’t able to cook dinner.…

Weekly Workouts: Week 7

Time to share my how I have been working out for the past week!

Last week was hard. The reality of my limitations hit me, and it’s seriously, seriously frustrating. I can’t clean, I can’t pack…I really can’t do much. I can’t even get The Baby into bed without Smalls’ help. It’s seriously driving me nuts, y’all! I mean, I can do a lot…with help. And packing? I didn’t…
