My Word for 2015: Thrive.
I know some people can get tired of all the New Years posts, all the talk about resolutions, and everything that comes with this time of year. I enjoy having some time to reflect on the past as well as set a new path for the future. I really don’t like the cookie cutter resolutions like lose weight and get out of debt. The last couple of years I have tried to pick a word or a theme for my year. In 2013 it was to be intentional and last year was to simplify. I feel like I did a decent job trying to simplify our house through decluttering last…

Happy New Year- 2012 in Review
Happy New Year!! I can’t believe it is 2013. Sometimes I still think the 90’s were 10 years ago. Weird, I know. How did you ring in the New Year? We hung around the house with friends, played monopoly, and watched the ball drop (at 11…) and then at 12 we went out the garage and did a little workout. I practiced my double unders, and got 2! BAM! This is going to be the year of conquering the double under! I will RX a workout with Double Unders! The hubs threw the weights around for a bit but I wasn’t feeling it… it was after 12am after all… Looking…

Weekly Workout Recap & October Goals Check In
Happy Monday! (don’t forget to enter the Food Should Taste Good Giveaway – It ends tomorrow!) Good news – I have been able to sleep the last few nights with little to no shoulder pain… hooray! I took some extra rest days this week to try to get it rested up and I think that helped. Here is a look at my workouts from last week. Monday – CrossFit This one was fun, I got to work out with the hubs so that made it extra fun.

October Goals
Oh- Hello first week of October… Where’d you go?! Seriously though, how is it October 8th already? Time to talk about our Monthly Goals! I’m linking up over at Little Girl In The Big World for her Go For the Goal Link Up! Last month I set some goals that I wanted to achieve by the end of September. I figured I’d update y’all on the progress of those before we get into October Goals. Weight Loss- Get to 185lbs. That did not happen. I am still hovering around 192. I could give a million excuses here – but I’ll refrain. Running- Log 40 Miles. Uhm – wow, I really missed the…

finding focus
am i the only one who struggles with time management? I usually start my day/week with a list of things I need or want to do.Of course there is the regular dishes, laundry and every day straightening (I’m always doing these). Then there are the more or less “weekly tasks” like cleaning the floors, changing the sheets,cleaning bathroom (REALLY cleaning the bathroom) meal planning, grocery shopping etc. And last but not least there is the “wish list” of tasks to get done like blogging (ha!), cleaning out closets, organizing drawers. On top of that there is school, working out, reading for pleasure (ya, right), plus any craft projects (I’m currently working…

We had some rough spots too, but we grew quite a bit out of that. i truly truly believe 2011 is going to be a break though year for us. i’ve got a…
