So, I've hesitated posting about this, because it seemed like it might be a little gimmicky, but after a solid week of experience, I'm ready to share my thoughts. I've bought a Simply Fit Board. (www.simplyfitboard.com) It looked like something that would let me get some light cardio in without messing with my foot while it's [...]
Wrapping up workout 1(&2)
Today was my last time through workout 1 for this round, and I'm definitely stronger. The only thing I struggle with at this point is the push-ups and doing a plank immediately after them. That has not gotten much easier. Might be in part due to the fact that my push ups are on my [...]
That awkward phase…
Where you've been working out for almost 2 weeks, and you're getting stronger, and that's so cool, but you're also OH so tired. And sore. And your plantar fasciitis is acting up, probably cuz you're not doing all the care things, AND you're walking 3.5 miles a day pushing almost 100lbs of stroller and kids. [...]
Fitness stuff.
I just finished my first full week of JMBR for this round (my 5th!!) and I'm feeling good! We've been going for long walks too, and I'm definitely gaining strength and improving conditioning that way too. My foot does bug me a bit first thing in the morning though, and I think I need to [...]
Soooo about the past few months…
It's been foreeeever, both since I blogged and since I've been in a workout routine. See, we started house hunting, and the anxiety was out of control, then we found a house, and the anxiety spiked even more because of all the work ahead and the desperation to get the heck out of there, and [...]
To my Baby Duck, turning One,
My sweet, loving, joyful, sometimes mischievous, often laughing, occasionally temperamental, always wonderful little boy, I can't believe it, but, it's your first birthday. What a year it has been. A year I didn't expect, but one that has changed me. God used you, little man, even as a tiny baby, to do big work in [...]
Inspiration from Siri
So maybe you've seen the suggestion to "ask Siri to beatbox". Maybe you've tried it. If you haven't, go ahead, I'll wait. (If you aren't an Apple user, she says "here's what I've been working on: catsandbootsandcatsandbootsandcatsandboots. I could do this all day. Catsandbootsandcatsandbootsandcats..") This morning I was texting Scott my feelings about my body, about wanting [...]
Different can be good, comparison is bad.
I am really enjoying PiYo. It's very different from my usual, but intense and challenging, and I really think it's gonna be good for me for the next few months while my foot keeps healing. It's the best of what I love about yoga, that it connects me to my body and its grace and [...]
Starting 2016
Happy New Year! Like most folks, I've got some things I want to accomplish this year. I'm still kinda trying to get my mindset sorted out, because I don't want to strive for things I can't control and end up disappointed and discouraged (Hello Summer 2015!). I've written about my general goals on my mama blog [...]
Making lemonade.
So I'm about a month into this recovery, and it's been discouraging. I lost my drive for awhile, and I was sick, and I got bogged down trying to bounce back from that. Anyway, I'm bounced back, and the house is clean, and I have a new daily schedule mapped out, including keeping up with [...]
