I hinted in my previous post about some news, and I'm now ready to come clean. "Clean" isn't the right word, but it feels a little like that since I've been keeping a few things to myself these last few months. Today is my last day as an Instructional Technologist at Peabody. This is my [...]
4 Nights in Paradise
Guys, I take vacations seriously. Very seriously. It all started about 15 years ago with a road trip from Baltimore to Vegas with The Husband. Call me crazy, but I enjoyed every minute of that trip. Yes, even the part where I spent three days in a car. Driving cross-country, seeing Vegas light up the [...]
Broken on my Birthday
This past Tuesday was my 42nd Birthday, and all I have to show for it is that damn boot. I dropped a 25lb plate on it at the gym that morning. At first, I thought it was fine, but a few hours later I couldn't put any weight on it. Two days later the bruise [...]
Brain-Dumping from the Beach
This is going to be a braindump of epic proportions. It's been nearly two months since I posted! A record for me, for sure. Not that I was consciously trying to set a record or anything. I've just had so much going on and blogging, unfortunately, has been at the bottom of my priorities list. I think [...]
Baby Stepping All The Things!
Remember that one time I published a book about how little things add up to big things and you should simply do What You Can When You Can? The hashtag (#wycwyc) may never have caught on the way I hoped, but I'm still "wycwyc'ing" my way to my goals. At the Gym... This morning I finally hit [...]
Answering Two More Macro Questions And Sharing my Current Comfort Zone Leap
Yup, that's me planking up there. More on that in a bit. First, there were two questions in the comments on my last Macro post I want to answer. Then I'll get into the comfort zone leap. 🙂 Lisa asked: Great info! Thanks for sharing! With macro counting, which is more important: the grams per [...]
Enjoying More Kool-Aid aka My Cult Induction
Where do I begin? Let's see. About five year-ago I joked about drinking the CrossFit "kool-aid" because at that time there seemed to be only two kinds of people in the world: those who CrossFitted and those that hated everything about CrossFit. Actually, it's still like that, isn't it? Anyway, I don't regret taking a sip [...]
Celebrating the Wins
Guys, I need to take a minute to share this because, well, LOOK... That's all three boys prepping dinner! You may be like.... big whoop, Roni, who cares? But here's the deal: I've been trying to do this for years! Other parents will understand, I'm sure. It's not that easy to get the kids to help with dinner. [...]
Three Macro Counting Questions Answered
How can I make counting macros simple? Mateo asked this in a comment on my previous post, and it's a big one to start off with, but I wanted to dive right in. His exact comment was, I find the macro counting to be so cumbersome and constrictive. I get it that when I eat the [...]
How To Get Started Counting Macros
Friday when deciding what to wear to work, I came across a skirt I shoved in the back of the closet because I never liked the way it looked on me. It's one of those simple, super comfy long skirts with an elastic waistband band that pretty much goes with anything. Actually, they have the [...]
