I’ve made it to month two of the 60-day PiYo program, so I wanted to do a quick little check in and share my journey so far! First, a quick rundown on what PiYo is. In a phrase, PiYo is the combination of pilates and yoga (GET IT? GET IT?!), meaning you’re not using weights…
Every single time I’ve started a new workout routine, or an old one after falling off the wagon, I’ve started on a Monday. Monday feels like the start of the week for a lot of people, even though most of us start with Sunday when we write out the week. I am on week two…
Once I started to focus on fitness and my health, I started buying new technology, downloading apps, writing things down on paper (what’s that?)…all of it. I was trying to find the perfect blend of wearable tech and apps for my phone that satisfied my needs. I had always said that I wanted a piece…
Apparently, today is National Running Day. I really have no idea what that means. Do I buy a card? Do people get me gifts because I’m a runner? Can I get some free running shoes somewhere? In any case, today I wasn’t planning to run. I really haven’t done much running since my most recent…
This weekend I had the awesome opportunity to fly down to Nashville for the first time. I’ve done some traveling lately, but all to cities I’ve been to before. I was excited for a lot of reasons, but mostly because I would be running my third half marathon, the St. Jude Country Music Rock and…
I’ve read the quote a million times, “It’s not your legs giving out, it’s your head giving up. Keep going.” I think about that a lot when I run, because my head likes to give up fairly quickly. Today I woke up with sore calves. I had 11 miles on the schedule, but I had…
I’ve been working hard for the past 16 days on following the 21 Day Fix eating plan, which essentially is clean eating. I cheated significantly less than I ever had before, and even though my weight is still fluctuating, my lean muscle is increasing overall. My challenge group really kept me focused. As a coach,…
Today was an exciting day for me. I woke up and, knowing that my training schedule put me at 4 miles, checked the weather. The northeast has been pretty cruel to me, with sub-zero temperatures and icy paths, forcing me onto a treadmill for the first month of my training. I was absolutely done rushing…
Sometimes I’ll randomly go through categories on Pinterest to avoid all of the cakes and mood swings, and today I found this one. I’ve been making a lot of excuses lately, in running, at work, with my eating habits…nearly everything. I’m not really sure how to hit the reset button and find the extra energy…
I kicked off training for a half marathon about a month ago, and it’s really been torture. I was coming from the wonderful lifestyle of working out for 30 minutes every day, following workout videos, and getting some variety from the 21 Day Fix. It was really awesome. I could feel myself getting stronger, and…
