Fun Facts Friday - One Year & Giveaway

Fun Facts Friday - One Year

  • There have been many many many workouts. 
  • There have been more recipes than I can even begin to count.
  • There have been lots of Pizza Fridays.
  • I learned that you can have friends that you have never met in person.
  • I enjoyed a weekend in Branson with Jason, my dad and step-mom.
  • I discovered a passion for running and logged my longest run of 8 miles.
  • I went to the beach (of course).
  • I had my first giveaway (see below). 

Over the course of this year since starting my blog, a lot has happened. It's not all been perfect, life isn't. I faced overtraining syndrome, I have battled some depression, I have also grown and tried so many new things - stepping out of comfort zones in a big way. I have made some amazing friends, found unbelievable inspiration, and learned so much. I definitely feel like I have grown more over this past year, maybe it's been the blogging that has helped me keep track of both progress and even a bit of regression at times.

    Workout Wednesday - Body Blaster Tabata

    Happy Hump Day! I wanted to thank everyone for their comments on yesterday's post: Be Kinder to Your Body. Calories are Not the Enemy . It sounds like it resonated with many of you. Today I wanted to share a new workout with you. I've been working on interval workouts for some of my clients. I try to give them the most bang for their buck (time). I know that in an ideal world, we would all have time to do longer workouts. There would never be scheduling conflicts, sick husbands or kids, or sick us. In reality, workouts need to be effective and efficient. And they don't have to be lengthy to be effective and efficient either. There's no need to spend hours in a gym to get in a good workout. Interval workouts like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or tabata, or even interval running are great ways to get in a fantastic workout in a short amount of time and have many benefits. You can read more about Tabata workouts  here .

    Piriformis Update & Grilled Veggie Salad

    New Piriformis Exercises Today wasn't too terrible for a Monday. Of course, I did leave a little early. That always helps huh ;-) I had another round of physical therapy today. My PT has been really researching piriformis syndrome and found an interesting article that discusses the use of McKenzie Exercises - typically used for back pain. I have started adding in low back extensions (one of the exercises) but now have a whole new list of exercises to add into my workout rotations. But, if it helps, I'll do it. I also asked her about dry needling (thanks Sarena ), which is sort of similar to acupuncture, but is more about trigger point and intramuscular stimulation. And I'm glad I asked because the timing is uncanny. One of the doctor's in the clinic happens to be going to get certified this weekend. They both believe that I am a prime candidate for the procedure. So we'll see how that goes. Kind of scared because I hate hate hate needles. Have any of you tr
