I can’t believe I’m already 32 weeks along. I mean, the individual weeks (and days) have gone by very slowly…but HOLY CRAP this baby is going to be here before I know it! I’ve definitely been super lucky with this pregnancy – seriously, I really don’t have anything to complain about! That said, here’s the rundown of what I have…read more →
I’m not quite sure how it got to be May 3rd already. My due date is in THREE MONTHS people. THREE MONTHS!! It seems like just yesterday I was peeing on a stick with a racing heart and freaking the eff out. But here we are: (Please excuse the dirty mirror…) I’m back up to 203 lbs, which is 6…read more →
I can’t believe how much time has passed since my last post — have I seriously been THAT lazy? Well, sort of. And also, not really. My lifestyle has definitely changed a LOT in the past several months. I had to stop running. And that lead to cancelling my gym membership, so I’m not spinning anymore. (Spin class just wasn’t the…read more →
I’ve kind of fallen off of the blogging wagon recently – I think because I’m not training for races I feel like I don’t really have anything terribly noteworthy to write about. But here are a few things I’ve been thinking. 1. I can’t believe how good of a workout I can get by using just this equipment. For the…read more →
How’s everyone doing now that Sandy’s blanketing everyone in the North East with tons of rain & snow?? Hope everyone is safe! Luckily, FL fared pretty well with no major impact (at least on the Gulf Coast anyway) but we’re seeing super chilly temps and LOTS of wind. Not that I mind though – we opened our windows for the…read more →
I switched things up this weekend. Instead of our usual ride to Robinson Preserve, I decided that a little tootsie pampering was more important. Well…and I had a long ride planned for Saturday morning! My friend Caroline and I were planning on going for a long ride together since she’s training for her very first 50 miler in two weeks! …read more →
This past Saturday I attended my first ever blogging conference, the Central Florida Blogger Conference, (#CFLBlogCon) at the Orlando Science Center in…wait for it…Orlando. (Source) I knew I couldn’t pass this one up: It was localish and the price was totally reasonable at just about $60! Sweetening the deal was the fact that I’d get to see – and meet…read more →
It’s been about 3 weeks now since I got cleared to work out again & I’ve been slowly getting back into a workout routine. The first workout to come back into my rotation is 6pm spin. My first class back was kind of a nightmare – I felt like I didn’t really get a workout at all because it seemed…read more →
Man, it’s been a while. A while since I’ve exercised, a while since I’ve blogged. A little over a month ago I started having some intense dizzy spells & started consulting with my physician and a cardiologist to see what the hell was going on. I had a few EKG’s, an exercise stress test (treadmill test), a 24-hour heart rate monitor, and…read more →
I had an epiphany the other day. I’m not just “unmotivated” right now – as evidenced by my extreme lack of workouts. I’m burned out. It all started in early 2010 when I started training for my first triathlon. And then I kept training and racing and training and racing and training and racing… I wasn’t running races on back-to-back…read more →
