It has been a challenging past few weeks for me. It’s something I have been able to compartmentalize pretty well. But the recent focus in the political news has really gotten to me on a very deep level. All for reasons I am fully aware of and have done lots of healing work around, but […]
Fitness (iron)
My topsy-turvy world
It has been nearly a month since I last wrote a blog post. Which is very unlike me. Well, when I am not out of the country. LOL! Since we moved 3 weeks ago, I have been trying to find some resemblance of a routine. Because I like routine. I feel comfortable with routine. I operate best […]
30 days of awesome stuff…
So, it’s May. How on earth did that happen? April went by in the blink of an eye. Even though it was a FULL month for us Rosenbergs. 30 very full days. Let’s see. We started off with Easter Sunday in NJ. Saw the house we would ultimately buy on Monday. Found out we got […]
The search is finally over…
As we were unpacking wedding gifts a few months ago, surrounded by boxes and little storage space, I said to Michael “We need a bigger place.” He nodded his head in agreement. And thus the seed was planted. Of course, we always knew we were not going to stay in our 2 bedroom condo for […]
TBT: Peak week, YOUR ten, that is enough…
I was recently inspired by a friend of mine who was competing in the Arnold Bodybuilding competition in Columbus, OH. She placed in the top 10! WOW! It reminded me of how crucial that final week before a competition is. The infamous “peak week.” Let me shed some light on the subject… A TBT “ironbikini” […]
Set point … embracing the “fluff”
We all have defaults. Or set points. What feels “normal” to us. So does our body. I’m realizing that my body has a set point body weight. A number that, if I work out consistently and eat relatively healthy yet still enjoy some wine and a few calorically dense meals, the number doesn’t change much. […]
My latest trick … and “duh” moment.
As I walked through the door this morning, my husband asked “How was your workout?” (actually, he technically asked me after I had had more coffee and breakfast in my tummy…LOL!) “Hard”, I said. Which it was. It gets long. And mind numbing. 10 sets of anything can get rather mind-numbing. I have to put […]
I’m with the band(s)
That’s right. I’ve been working with bands more. No, not that kind of band. I know in my last post I talked about music. No. This is something completely different. THESE bands. My latest BFF. I’ll be honest, I did not think highly of bands before. I didn’t know how to properly use them and […]
Gluteus maximus, medius, minimus, ouchimus…
As I mentioned in my last post, I am starting a new workout program for the next 12 weeks. Workin’ on my bootay. 😉 Ummm. OUCH. But so worth it. What I am LOVING is the online FB group. I have been in groups like this before and had forgotten how much I love the […]
The way I inspire myself? Try something new…
I’ve been a little bored in my workouts recently. Well, part of it is probably because I took a long break. You know, getting married and honeymooning and all (did you see yesterday’s post?) … The DOMS (when stuff hurts … otherwise known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) was pretty bad last week, too, but […]
