livefit trainer – week 4

February 13, 2012

And just like that, phase one is over! It seems crazy to me that it’s been almost one month since I started this program and over one month since I last ran. Can I let you in on a little secret? I don’t miss my cardio that much. Never thought I’d be typing those words out! This month I learned a lot. I learned that I won’t blow up like a balloon if I stop running. If anything, I think my body is more toned right now than it was in the last six months of my life with training [...]

weekend update

February 11, 2012

The verdict on The Vow? It was okay. Definitely not excellent though. Yes, it is worth it to still go see it in the movie theater. No, I will not disclose anything that happened – however, I do think one of the reasons why i didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would have was because Rachel McAdams’ character was kind of devoid of any sort of passion. My favorite movie with her is The Notebook (obviously, right?) and that movie screams passion. Bottom line? Still go see it – don’t expect to be blown away. This morning [...]

taking food advice

February 9, 2012

I am continuing to be astounded by the emails and comments that are still being sent and left on my last post about deciding to try acupuncture for fertility related issues. As I am sure you can understand, I was definitely nervous about pressing the “publish” button on a post that left me looking vulnerable, emotional, and somewhat broken. With that being said, however, I am glad I did share what I am going through. Someone mentioned writing it out might prove to be therapeutic – and I have found it to be just that. After hearing all of the [...]

veggie craver

February 8, 2012

Was it hard for you to pull yourself out of bed this morning? Yeah, me too. If it’s any consolation, you only have to wake up two more times this workweek. Unless you work on the weekends – then, I feel bad for you. Jenn has something fun planned for February – Love Your Veggies Month! I certainly do love my veggies, as you will see by my food today. I think I went a tad bit over. Meh, oh well! Breakfast – 6:00 AM Breakfast was a little bit “different” for me yesterday – and it’s going to take [...]

snack healthfully (LARABAR giveaway!)

February 7, 2012

At the end of 2011, I got word from one of my favorite companies about an exciting opportunity in 2012! As you all probably know, my heart swoons over Larabars. I have been eating them for a few years and proclaiming my love for them one cashew cookie bar at a time. Last year I found out that Larabar has an Ambassador Program for health and fitness professionals (not that I am calling myself a professional AT ALL), and I thought it would be a great program for me to become a part of to help me share my love [...]

best ever gluten free sandwich bread

February 7, 2012

Before I get started with today’s post, thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the wonderful comments/tweets/emails about last night’s post about acupuncture. After reading some of those comments I am probably going to gear up to do a reflective post about some thoughts that were brought up last night as a result. I am a “let me be in my comfort zone” kind of girl. As a tell tale example, I’d like to tell you all about the time when the Husband made me learn how to drive a stick shift. [...]

my decision to try acupuncture

February 6, 2012

In all of my years, I never ever thought I would have to be lumped into the “infertile” category. In fact, I don’t even feel like I should be lumped into that category – but I guess that would be my optimism at its finest right there. Since the Husband and I are not really actively trying to get pregnant at the moment, I guess that’s why I won’t put myself into that category. Despite my ability to talk down the situation, I am infertile. I am going through infertility. Could I actually get pregnant right now? No. That’s the [...]

livefit trainer – week 3

February 6, 2012

Another week, another recap! source The Moves Week 3’s workouts were completely different than the first two weeks. Instead of lifting four days, there were five workouts on the calendar. Legs Back/Biceps Chest/Triceps Legs Shoulders/Abs I absolutely adored the leg workout from this past week. The workout included barbell squats and lunges, which I am a very big fan of (insane?). That workout also introduced me to a new to me move – single leg dead lifts. Holy cow! I have a video below so you can watch how one is done, but the thing I love the most about [...]
