Because this blog is called “IronYogini”, I feel like I want to have a post here and there about what I’m up to fitness-wise. In the past it was all about my training and race reports. Road races, triathlons, Spartan races, figure competitions, etc. There will be more of that, don’t worry. But for now, […]

A toddlerhood workout update
My baby boy is getting BIG. I can’t believe he is a toddler now! He is also getting quite heavy. My husband likes to joke that we should stop feeding him so he stays small. LOL. Yeah, that’s not how that works… 😉 I have heard so many people say “Gosh, he’s heavy. Wow! You […]
Meet yourself where you are: a postpartum update
Meet yourself where you are. I have to continuously remind myself of that. I haven’t talked a lot about my postpartum recovery, but it has definitely been a journey. I had my son last summer and it was a very long labor. The birthing process itself was uncomplicated, except for a bit of hemorrhaging that needed to […]
I am thirty-nine going on…
It’s the eve of my 40th birthday. (and you were supposed to hum that to the tune of “Sixteen going on Seventeen” from The Sound of Music … I’m a music geek!) For some, this can often be a scary whoah-how-did-I-get-here-already moment. Honestly, I am really excited about entering this new decade. I have heard […]
Embrace the comfort of routine
A new school year has begun! None like we’ve ever seen before! It’s hard to miss when you scroll through social media. All the “preparing the learning space” pictures, last “Hurrah!” Labor Day pictures, “first day of virtual school” pictures, “day 3 of virtual school” pictures, “drink all the wine” pictures… LOL! It’s a little […]
Don’t wait until Monday
I have a confession to make. I have seriously gotten out of my workout routine. The last time I did any kind of strength training was a month ago. To the date. I was trying to listen to my body and feel what it wanted. And it wanted to just walk. And that’s OK. I […]
Workout Roundup: Week of April 6th
Well, here I go again, falling behind on posting LAST week’s workouts. I’ll be honest, blogging hasn’t been as much of a priority recently, as much as I would like it to be and initially thought I would have all this extra time to devote to it. Between my two grad school classes and trying […]
Workout Roundup: March 30th
Wow! It is nearly the end of the week and I haven’t posted last week’s workouts yet. Let’s just say, I haven’t experienced any sort of “boredom” during this pandemic pause that we are all currently in. The week just got away from me. As did my workouts. I’m a firm believer in listening to […]
Workout Roundup: March 23rd
Another week full of at-home workouts. I am starting to get into a groove with this new routine. My strength workouts only tend to be around 20 minutes long, so I always try to follow them up with a run or walk. Most of the time… LOL! Monday Tuesday Wednesday I started the day with […]
Workout Roundup: March 16th
Wow! What an interesting week it has been! I started off with gym workouts early on, but then the gym closed due to COVID-19 and I had to get creative with in-home workouts using dumbbells (I only have a pair of 10s right now) and resistance bands. And lots of walking. I’m trying to get […]
