Scene: My house, Friday night. I’m in my penguin pajamas around 6:30pm as I’m exhausted and ready for bed. However, this is the first weekend in a LONG time where we have ZERO PLANS. My husband comes in from outside and says, the Duncans are here. That’s my sister’s family. So I go outside, in…
I don’t know about you, but May was a rough month. I was sick, tired, school was ending – just a lot going on. I didn’t get to the gym as much as I would like. But the good news, I did spend a lot more time riding my bike – able to hit the…
Overall, April was a great workout month. Despite two different out-of-town trips, I got a lot of workouts in. PLUS, a lot of walking in Chicago and Washington, D.C. So happy that this is now just habit…now I need to kick it up a notch and do more of something different because I’m still not…
February 2013: 265.48 miles on the bike – 164,108 pounds lifted. Yes – I’m pretty proud of my process. I made THREE different boards at the YMCA this month. The one below for total weight lifted. Another for most workouts (36) and another for total workout days (18). But at the end of the day…
January 2013 is one of my best fitness months in a long time! I just hope I can keep this up for the rest of the year! January 2013: 299.14 miles on the bike – 155,840 pounds lifted. It was such a great month I even made the board at my YMCA! I’m really happy…

Don’t know about you, but September was a very busy month. For me, I’m pretty sure I spent more nights sleeping in a hotel then my actual bed. Lots of work-related and family-fun travel this past month. And because of that – not a great workout month – but still pretty good. October is starting…
So I’ve been on this “get in shape” kick for about 3 years now, with little success. The problem always seems to be about time. I just don’t have enough of it. Here’s the thing, I’m a routine person. If I can get into a routine, then I’m good. But if something disrupts that routine…
August 2012: 272.02 miles BOOM!!! That’s my mileage for August on the bike….I’m on a roll literally…pun intended. Compare that number to my previous months, and I’m killing it!!! Just need to keep it up! I’m also doing a lot more weights in between rides. I think it’s helping. I’m actually feeling a difference…
