Fun for Friday - #MoveEatLive

Happy Friday! I've been a bit MIA this week where it comes to blogging. I guess I'm experiencing a bit of writer's block. I am also feeling a bit out of sorts as to where to take my blog these days.

I began the blog on a whim with no real knowledge of blogging - I didn't really even read many blogs at that time. I wrote about what I ate and my workouts each day. After two years of basically recording every.single.dinner I realized I had put silly pressure on myself to A) 365 days a year, B) record every dinner with a photo and often recipe, C) record every single workout, D) respond to every comment.

Slowly I started to allow myself to not post on the weekends (crazy talk right?). I stopped posting every dinner and every workout. Guess what? I still had my amazing friends showing up to read and comment. Phew.

Last year I passed my certifications to become a Personal Trainer and Running Coach. Since that time, I have tried to get a new business off the ground - Where's the Beach Fitness. Along the way, I realized that my ideas for blog posts were starting to change.

I want to share informative bits of info related to fitness and health. Yes, part of that is to drive my business, but it's also what I am passionate about. I'm also seeing a huge trend in blogs to be more about reviews, campaigns, information and less personal. So where does that leave me and my blog? I'm not exactly sure, but that's part of why I've been blogging less I suppose.

But I'm still here. I still read and comment on other blogs. I miss the interaction over here on my blog as well. So I'm not going away, just blogging when I have something more meaningful to say rather than just blogging to have a post going out. I hope you stick with me and I would love any feedback on types of posts, recipes, workouts, me blathering about my weekend ...

With all that being said, I will continue to be Moving.Eating.Living it up. So, for Fun for Friday, I thought I'd share what I've been up to this week.


Move

I've been running (shocker I know). I've gotten in some fairly speedy runs this week and am looking forward to slowing my roll for tomorrow's longer run. I've been doing my weight workouts during lunch. I just can't seem to muster the energy to lift in the morning, especially after a run. I prefer to let my body recover from a run before lifting - trying to separate the two. As cross-training, I will ride my bike. 

Eat

Our garden has been doing amazing this year and my dad and mother both sent me some fresh veggies from their respective gardens, so we've been eating a TON of veggies this week trying not to let anything go to waste. The grill is getting a lot of use.

Live

I've been trying to really relax and enjoy my weekends and evenings. Last weekend my sister was in town so I got to spend a lot of time with her, which I always enjoy. Weather permitting, I've been sitting out on my patio reading for a bit each evening as well. It's a great way to decompress and simply be.

What is your #Move.Eat.Live for the week?

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
