I saw Thanksgiving stuff in the stores the other day. Because it’s just around the corner. Isn’t it? Ha! Speaking of which, did you know that it can take up to 72 hours to digest your holiday dinner?!?! Or a really really big meal? That just seems crazy to me! Your digestive system works super […]

Breakdowns. Plate Stripping. Down the Rack. Running the Rack. Up the Stack Triple Drops. Mic Drop. (kidding!) Drop it like it’s…what? These are all different names for drop sets. One of my favorite variations of exercise.  What is a a drop set, you ask? According to Muscle & Fitness, “Drop sets are essentially a technique where […]

Weekends always require good foods and good company.  So we did just that. We carbed up last night at my cousin/bridesmaid’s home with some pizza on the grill (YUM!) and wine. And whiskey. And good times. And 9 hours of sleep. It was glorious.   l love holiday weekends.  As we made plans to look at […]

Sometimes we all make rookie mistakes. Even when we know exactly what to do. And have been doing it for years.  Like not eating before a workout. A late morning workout at that.  And not having really eaten since 3pm the previous day.  Which mainly entailed wine and cheese. And grapes. And more wine. And […]

D.O.M.S. Department of Management Studies? No?  Wait, I got it. Department of Military Support? Wrong again.  Digital Objects Management System? Oh, I know, I know!!!! Devil on My Shoulder!!! No? Seriously?!?! UGH. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. Ahhhhhhh… Yes, I am all too familiar with that.  According to Wikipedia (because that’s the first place we all […]

As I was in my half-asleep morning haze at the gym today, someone asked me “So, what are you training for?” Uhhhhh… “My wedding?”  That’s right. Bridal boot camp, here we come. Now it’s getting real.  With less than 100 days before the “Big Day” (cue wedding bells), this soon-to-be-bride needs a little motivation. Not […]

I have dreams. Big ones. Goals. Big ones. And I have an idea of how to go about achieving them. Even the resources to do so. But am I doing anything about it? Not really. I mean, I’m THINKING about it a lot, and DREAMING, and making plans. Lots of that going on. But the actual […]

You might have heard that the DC area got some weather recently. No?  You mean, you didn’t see the gazillion Facebook status updates of snow covered balconies, before/afters of shoveling, non-plowed streets, indoor shenanigans? You didn’t see any of that? I know. It got old after awhile. We all tried to ignore some of it. […]

So, I resigned my lease today. It was quite surreal. Surreal because I can’t believe an entire year has passed since I moved into my new home. And surreal because of the circumstances of why I had to move. How different my life is now. A year ago, if you had told me where I was today, […]

We all need a break sometimes.Really. ALL of us.Even you superheroes in disguise. You know who you are. I see you. (ummmmm … #recoveringsuperwoman)Put the cape in the closet. At least for a little bit.With all joking aside, it is so easy to get caught up in the go-go-go, do-do-do, must-not-stop-EVER of life because our society holds it in […]
