Happy World Kindness Day! Today is an international “holiday” of sorts encouraging people to be kind no matter what—no matter a person’s race, religion, or any possible obstacles. According to their website, the World Kindness Movement (WKM) first began on November 13, 1997 in Japan, uniting various kindness organizations from around the world. The WKM…
Find Time for What Makes You Happy to Be Alive
My head has been in the clouds lately. More specifically, I’ve been reflecting a lot on how I spend my time every day, every week. I’m a creature of habit and love embracing routine because it keeps me productive (read: less lazy), but at some point, I’ve found myself becoming a prisoner of these self-made obligations….
The Two Best Cures for Anything
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! Cheers to my fellow Irish men and women out there…as well as those of you who claim to be for the day ;). We’re not doing a whole lot to celebrate today, but I’m pretty stoked about the corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot currently. Fingers crossed that works…
Just Get It Done
Is it possible to get an adrenaline high without actually working out? Because I’m pretty sure that happened to me a couple days ago as I was reading through inspirational fitness quotes. I’ve actually been really on top of working out recently, and I feel so proud to say that. It’s such an easy thing…

BREAKING NEWS: It’s not Tuesday anymore!!! As I’ve mentioned before, Tuesdays make me sad, and the article “It’s Only Tuesday” from The Onion describes my feelings exactly if you feel like reading it. Another thing that makes me sad? The getting dark before 5pm thing. It feels so much later than it actually is. Fitting…

Last night, the boy and I participated in a free wine tasting. Our apartment complex hosted the little tasting, and it was full of interesting wine information. I find wine and beer to be extremely fascinating, and I could listen to someone talk about how its made and how it works forever. I also got…

I’m in zombie mode today. I guess that’s what happens when you go to a bar with coworkers on a Tuesday night and don’t get to bed until super late. (Worth it.) It’s days like today that I consider returning to my love of caffeine. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before I switch…

I just want you all to know that I’m drinking a $3.32 bottle of wine right now. No, I’m not consuming alcohol at 6am—I wrote this post last night. The sad part is…it’s not too shabby. I think I’ve gotten used to super cheap wine and don’t know the difference between good and bad wine…

I’m so effing sore. It’s ridiculous. Monday’s Full Body Tabata Workout did it for me. Then last night, I ran 2.75 miles outside in the hot hot heat. Bleh. I survived though, so that’s always nice. Couldn’t make it to 3 though. ‘Twas sad. Today, I think I’ll either focus on upper body and core…

The plan is to resume the fitness thang this evening. These Are a Few of My Favorite Things Dollar Store Purchase: Popsicle molds. Last night I made lots of smoothie to…

Workout Monday: 25-Minute Incline Run – holy crap is that hard Tuesday: Sad full body circuit that wasn’t too challenging Today: Running like a boss. Picking from my treadmill workouts for whatever I’m in the mood for. Hola. I’m short on the favorites this week. Either I’m not very amused by things or I’m not…

Does anyone else uncontrollably yawn whenever they work out? It’s one thing to be tired, but I always catch myself yawning even though I’m breathing super hard. It’s a bit difficult…and probably a strange site. This happened to me last night while I was doing a tabata workout, so it was really hard to yawn…

Workout Yesterday: Nada. I’m developing a sun rash from the weekend’s activities (which I’ve mentioned before that I get from time to time—NOT COOL), so I decided to just hang out to not anger it. Being sunburnt really sucks sometimes. Don’t do it. Today: Possibly doing a treadmill workout, depending on how I’m feeling. Exactly…

So I whipped up some treadmill magic last night, and it felt amazing. I think it’s safe to say this my new favorite running interval workout. By increasing the speed by .1 every minute, I got up to 7 at a certain point. Overall, it was challenging yet doable. Tonight, I’m planning to combine a…

1. Happy Hump Day! 2. The blue Tootsie Pops are the best kind, and that’s a fact. 3. Bailey’s is really good in coffee. I discovered this last night. Workout Ran 5.02 miles at I have no idea what time or pace. The last 3.02 miles were done in 27:34 though. I forgot to stop…
