DetailsWhile studying for the CPT exam, I’ve learned more about how to structure my eating so that I get the most out of the timing and assortment with the food I eat. My goals are to eat a balance of healthy fats (nuts, fish, etc.) and complex carbs (i.e. veggies galore) for energy along with…
DetailsHappy Motivational Monday! Yesterday, we went to a Magic game last night at the new Amway Center in Orlando! A little bit of Mickey – Magic! Get it? It was a great weekend of zoo action and basketball with the hubs – quality time is part of my #goalgetter2013 focus after all! 😉 This week’s…

DetailsAs part of my CPT certification, I was to take a CPR/AED course and receive my certification prior to my actual CPT test date.

DetailsWhen hubs got his new phone, Verizon also offered us 2 Fitbits with the deal, that we now use daily – I’ve told the silly tale of how we have step contests during commercial breaks. A few weeks later, Maxwell Health sent me a Jawbone UP to ‘up the ante’ – haha get it?! ((rolls…
DetailsI think I’ve successfully completed my stint in Sugar Rehab!

Thank you sweet baby Jesus! In keeping…

DetailsRace Recap of the weekend! And forewarning: Photos are a-plenty! After some character photos and a visit from friends and family, Kris and I decided to go to our Corral (A) together, but that she’d go ahead and I’d frolick behind somewhere. We train together, but she’s faster than me altogether – also, she…
DetailsThis past weekend was definitely a run/fun-packed one! Kris and I headed out early Saturday to check in at the Disney Pop Century resort! We weren’t planning on staying on Disney property, but decided to last minute since it was quick and easy to get shuttled around everywhere including the race’s start! Spoiled 😉 Right…
