My jeans are finally fitting better. I haven’t made an effort to lose weight since I trained for my RKC weekend. I’m generally pretty comfortable in my body (most of the time) but over the last year as we traveled I ate more calories than than I burned. Pretty simple.  I wasn’t fat…not by a […]

We’ve been having a ton of fun visiting with my family. I just love being here and wish so much Indiana had mountains and an ocean like California. It’s hard living far away from family but now we live in an RV we regularly get to see friends and family all over the country. Being with […]

May is the last full month of spring before summer “officially” kicks off with Memorial Day. Longer days make summer the perfect time for evening strolls. If you are like me (and most Americans) you could use a little more movement. This month in anticipation of my summer strolls (and if I’m honest, swimsuit season), I’m […]

A kettlebell workout on the beach! I’m home. Except I’m not. I’m in Mississippi or I was in Mississippi. Twice. We stopped in Meridian, Mississippi where I got to meet a lovely reader, Missy. Missy from Mississippi. How cute is that! It makes me want to change my name to Calli so I can be […]

Good thing my locations are change each week because my outfits don’t. I could only bring so many clothes with me in the RV. I want to say right off hand that I call these Tabata intervals but since there are 4 of them I didn’t go all out each set so they aren’t true […]

(Source) Hope you had a great weekend and for those who are mothers a fantastic Mother’s Day.  I bought myself a little present that I’ll tell you about later this week   but first I want to finish my Climbing the Ladder:  Fun Workout Tools series. Here are links to the earlier posts if you want […]

If you are like me you don’t have hours to workout every day.  For the last year most of  my strength workouts have lasted 40-60 minutes.  Well I’ve decided to shave some of the time off by  pushing myself a little harder in less time by using the clock for motivation.  I feel like I […]

I enjoy coming up with my own workouts and every once in a while I put together a workout I just “love”.  This is one of them.  I’ve been doing this on Fridays for the last 3 weeks and every time I’ve  felt it the next day (and a for few days afterwards).   Full […]

It’s almost been a week since the competition and I have put on 3.5 pounds since my water drop. Yikes! I must admit, I’m having a hard time adjusting back to a “normal” everyday diet. I was a little worried this would happen after being so strict for a few months. In all my research […]

Who? You’ll have to keep reading. 😉 I worked up the courage to step on the scale yesterday morning. I had gained 3 pounds. As I said the other day, under “normal circumstances” this would be okay. No big deal. But with the competition coming up it is a big deal. My body fat is […]
