Lately I’ve been loving myself some free-weight circuits. Now that my knees are finally feeling better (clearly they are glad I didn’t run Hood to Coast even though I was not) I’ve been doing some sort of circuit at least two times a week…on a non pilates reformer day. I have yet to do a… Continue Reading

Eat and Repeat
I had an 8:30 start time for my all-day training session. And unlike some meetings where an 8:30 meeting means you can scoot in a few minutes late, this was a training session with a big group of people and I did not want to be the last person in the door so I flew… Continue Reading
Pilates Jumpboards + Easy Dijon Chicken
Today was jumpboard day in pilates. While I love jumpboard day my legs think it’s pure torture. I love doing pilates on the reformer and I give it 100% credit for my arms and abs. I could never lift another weight or do a sit-up for the rest of my life and as long as… Continue Reading
200 push-ups
I did 200 push-ups this morning (not gonna lie, half of those were on my knees). I didn’t realize it until I was in the shower and counted up my reps. Someone is going to be sore tomorrow. Here’s how it happened: 50 jumping jacks 50 “jump ropes” (without a rope) 20 squats 20 push-ups… Continue Reading
What to do with a BOSU Ball
Are you excited that it’s Friday? Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? We’re staining the deck today, and tomorrow we’re going wine tasting with the in-laws. I can’t wait! Plus it’s still sunny here which has to be some sort of record especially because the sun is supposed to stick around at… Continue Reading
Midweek roundup – Food + fitness
This is what I spent my day looking at yesterday. That, my friends, is my front room. Where a window is supposed to go. A few weeks ago, you’ll remember that I was also working from home, dealing with Home Depot and leaking windows. And they PROMISED me that they were fixing it. But they… Continue Reading
25′s workout circuit
Phew, it is finally Friday. I don’t know about you but at least for Chris and I, Friday has taken forever to get here. I swear I woke up Wednesday and Thursday thinking it was Friday. Sheesh. We both had super crazy weeks last week so maybe that’s why? Regardless, glad it’s finally here. I’m… Continue Reading
125 push-ups
As I was doing Jillian Michaels’ Extreme Shed and Shred this afternoon I realized my arms were super sore. So I thought back to yesterday’s workout and then I realized I did 125 pushups. 125! That’s a lot. Now I’ll admit that only 25 were real push-ups the rest were girl (knee) versions which I’m… Continue Reading
Can’t beat the classics
Well hello there and happy Saturday to you. Did you know that here in Oregon we’re about 1/2 an inch away from beating the rainfall record for March in Portland? No bueno. I was hoping to actually get outside and do something active this weekend but that is not going to happen. So instead, we’re… Continue Reading
