Last Thursday I posted Thursday Things – Obsessions edition. And just like I’ve become obsessed with several things lately, I’ve become disinterested in just as many. Things that Used to Interest Me but Now Don’t: 1. Racing. So I got on a racing kick for a couple years. Now I’m over it. Usually by now [...]

After I post this, I’m on my way out the door to train a client and then hittin’ the road out west! So as you’re reading this, we are hopefully either a) scrambling to get out the door or b) already on our way to Colorado. Perhaps 1 hour into the 18 we have to [...]
The Dreaded Mile

It’s funny. This morning I was thinking about how I was kinda bummed out that I couldn’t do my usual Wednesday morning run because of my hip pain I started experiencing on Sunday after running. If you’d asked me 5 years ago if I thought I’d ever be upset that running couldn’t be my method [...]

I’m happy to say I made some major headway on packing for our trip this morning! When I went to open my suitcase, I had to laugh because apparently I unpacked everything from my last trip with the exception of a pair of pants, 2 t-shirts, and a straightener. No idea, lol. I spent a [...]

Morning, morning! I can’t get over how much today feels like Monday. I have to keep reminding myself that I’m training Tuesday clients today, not Monday! Although I took yesterday off for the most part, I still trained a couple clients and got in my own workout as well, in the form of a [...]
Evening Energy & a Lower Body Blast Workout

Last night I did something I haven’t done in…well, in enough time that I can’t even remember the last time. I went to the gym in the evening! On a Sunday at that. Yesterday during the day, I met my parents in Peoria for a little shopping and late lunch, and when I got back [...]
Some Things Never Change

Hi there, everyone! I hope you’re all having a great weekend. It’s been pretty fabulous over here. It’s Africa hot, so we’ve been staying inside during the day for the most part, and then venturing outdoors once the sun starts to head over the horizon. During the staying inside time, I obviously had some free [...]
Ten Minute Triceps

Good morning! Even though today is a light day for me, it just does not feel like a Friday. Wednesday, for some reason, felt more like a Friday than today does. Weird. But I’ll go with it Before we get in to today’s post, I’d be remiss if I didn’t share the dinner I made [...]
Thursday Things–Obsessions
May 24, 2012 By 15 Comments
Yes, I realize both of today’s posts involve the word “things” in the title. I promise I’m not that challenged in the vocabulary department. However, when thinking about what I wanted to rant on about this afternoon, I couldn’t pick just one thing. I have a few things to talk about, so buckle up. 1. [...]
My Favorite Things

Gooood morning! How are we all doing today? Yesterday after getting off of work, I headed straight to the salon to get my ends trimmed off: No big changes, just a trim. I’m actually trying to grow out my natural color, which is more of a golden/strawberry blonde. Right now I kind of have the [...]
