I hope you didn’t get this twice or more. If so, sorry. We are having some technical difficulties on this end. (I say “we” as in my husband. Email alone can make me want to throw a kettlebell at the screen.) Anyway, I wrote this post yesterday morning but it doesn’t appear to have sent […]

“T” “T” “L” “E” “B” “E” “L” “L” What’s that spell?  Kettlebell!!!! I’m not sure where I first read about kettlebells.  I’m sure it was online but as soon I read some of the claims made by kettlebell enthusiasts I knew I had to give them a try.  So in August, I started training with […]

My cat, Sunny (who I affectionately call Meow Cow), and I watched  the cold rain fall all morning. While it was cozy inside, it was too cold and wet to exercise outside.  In fact, I didn’t even want to cross the lawn to my garage.  Don’t judge.     So, I took a living room […]

I have had a hard time getting in my workouts the last three weeks.  That’s not to say I didn’t get any exercise because I painted and cleaned for two weeks but I  just only a couple of formal workouts.  I sort of miss them so I have looked ahead and have planned my workouts […]

What is Tabata training? For years, I had read references to the “Tabata protocol” but it sounded more like a code of conduct for elite special forces than a way to tighten my butt.  People would rave about how great Tabata was and the skeptic in me would think, “4 minutes…yeah right.”  Finally, I decided […]

Went to the cupboard. Despite being close to the show. When she got there The cupboard should have been bare Since she has trouble with “NO”. Here’s a recap of the competition from yesterday. The competition was an hour away from my house (w/o traffic) in Hollywood so I had decided I’d drive down in […]

Wanted to say hi before my competition tomorrow.  Unlike my first show, it’s been a really chill day.  Seriously, I’ve been so laid back.  It’s nice for a change.  Cuddled with hubby before I got up and had breakfast.  The I spent the day painting on my tan, managed to throw in a few errands, […]
