This morning, I wanted to stay curled up in bed with the fiancé and the pets – all 3 boys looked so warm and cozy. Even as I got up, put on my workout clothes and drank my pre-workout, I was negotiating a rest day with myself. I can double up on Saturday or do …
Today marks the halfway point of my first round of 21 Day Fix and it was also an active recovery day, which means my sore muscles (mainly glutes and triceps) got a little rest and stretch. By rest, I mean they only had to lift their own weight rather than added weights. I do not mean …
So, remember me mentioning I upped my weights for Upper Fix yesterday? Yeah? Feeling it today!! Luckily, today was Lower Fix (aka LEG DAY!!), so my poor little (teeny tiny) triceps got a bit of a rest. They still worked, holding up the weights for squats, lunges and more squats and lunges. After Lower Fix, …
The beauty of a Las Vegas wedding … little to no planning. I am not worrying about invites, seating charts, bridesmaid dresses, tuxedos, etc. Instead, we are able to focus on us and our plans for the next year or so, which include the adventures of house buying and babies.

Dirty 30 … I had envisioned all sorts of pain and torture with this one. The name is just so … daunting! But, I survived and felt the oh so good muscle burn. My left quad is killing me – likely from being used more in 6 days than it has in my entire life! …
21 Day Fix Day 5 … Cardio Fix. Today was a little challenging – I know everyone says it, but burpees can suck it! But, as Autumn likes to remind me (every day, I might add), “you can do anything for 60 seconds.” I might disagree when it comes to burpees, but I pushed through …
