Happy (late) Monday to you! Hope you’re well-rested and ready for the week. Today I’m skipping my “Meal Plan Monday” post because, to be 100% honest, we didn’t do much planning last week and ate a bunch of random things (cereal on Monday night—Five Guys takeout on Wednesday, I think). It was already a short…

Simple and Sweaty 20-Minute Jump Rope Circuit + TKO Soft Grip Jump Rope Review
You’ve heard me go on and on about how tough it is to hit the gym now that I’m a working mother. Realizing my complaining was accomplishing very little, I decided to start doing one or two at-home circuit workouts during the week. While I love perusing the various blogs I follow for inspiration, I…
Why I Love Cardio Barre At The Y
If you’ve been reading for the last couple of months, you’ve heard me mention Cardio Barre a time or two (or twenty). It’s my new favorite class! I have what you might call “Exercise ADD.” Although I was self-conscious when I first joined a gym after my post-baby exercise hiatus, I realized I love trying…
#1MillionMinutes: Weeks 6 & 7
Let’s play catch up, shall we? Last week I sort of took a blogging hiatus in order to prepare for Baby M’s first week of daycare, so I didn’t recap the previous week of workouts. No sweat, right? (Actually, there was plenty of sweat.) I’ll just share the last 2 weeks today. Week 6 July…
Thoughts on Balance: Are We Cheating Ourselves?
Jen at Bagels to Broccoli shared a great post recently, and it got me thinking about my own use of the word balance. In fact, it got me thinking about the term in a way I never have before. Balance is a good thing, right? We all strive for balance, whether it’s the effort we…
One Million Minutes: Week 5
Heeeelllllooooo lovelies! I hope you’re well-rested and energized from your weekend. Can you even believe it’s almost August?! August is a big deal for us because…WE REGISTERED BABY M FOR DAYCARE! I’m simultaneously heart-broken and excited for him. As I’ve mentioned, my mother injured her ankle and has a long recovery ahead of her, so…
#1MillionMinutes: Week 4
Hi! Why is it Monday already? This past week and weekend were quite busy: visited my mom at the hospital on Tuesday, took Baby M to his well check after work on Wednesday (long visit…the doctor was running behind!), and relaxed (well, as much as possible) Thursday and Friday evenings. Saturday we (the hubs, father-in-law,…
#1MillionMinutes: Week 3
Oh heeeeyyy there. Truth be told, I forgot all about this update until I got to work this morning. And then I got too busy to actually post it. Last week started off on the right foot, but since I apparently came down with a crazy allergy attack (watery eyes and a runny, sneezy nose…
#1MillionMinutes: Week 2
Hi there! Hope your Fourth of July was safe and fun. Ours was nontraditional, but the muffulettas we ate were pretty darn tasty. Last week was a heckuva week. Needless to say, my exercise plans got derailed a bit. I didn’t even make it to the gym once. My mother (who watches Baby M during the work…
