Functional Fitness
Since the beginning of July, I’ve been back on the “taking care of Kim’s physical health” bandwagon. Between our ridiculously long winter, my focus on studying, and comfort-eating with carbs during times of too little sleep, it was time to get my butt back in gear. I struggle with perfectionism in various areas of my [...]
Game On! wrap-up
I blogged a few weeks ago about the Game On! challenge I joined and I was buzzing right along in week 2 last time I checked in. I had big plans to do a final re-cap on the last day but life happened and I’m getting to this a few days later. First off, I [...]
Week 2 Game On check-in
Today I’ve completed the 12th day of the Game On challenge. Just about at the half point, I feel like I’m really settling into a groove with it and reaping some great results. I feel really good. Between the good food, the exercise, the copious amounts of water, the vitamins, and the flower essences, I’m [...]
Day One Recap
As I wrote yesterday, I’ve joined in a Game On challenge for the next four weeks. Today was my first day and while I promise I won’t do recaps of my day each day I wanted to take a look back at my first day. My first impression is that the drinking 3L of water [...]

How I dropped a Lily-sized amount of weight
This morning I was thrilled to see that I’ve hit a nice number of 30 lbs of weight loss since I first weighed myself after Olivia’s birth. With the help of a handy dandy online calculator thingy, I’ve learned that I’ve lost 30 lbs in 29 weeks. (For anyone who’s trying to count up on [...]
Burn baby burn
So in my efforts to return to my pre-pregnancy weight, I’ve been learning more about calorie consumption and expenditure. There are lots of fancy calculators online where you enter in your weight and how long you did an activity and then it tells you how many calories you burned. Some of the activities are ridiculously [...]
Top 25
It’s like a top 10 list, only there’s 25 because I thought it would be a fitting celebration of the 25 lbs I’ve lost. Why I like to run (AKA Why I don’t stop when it hurts): 1. Weight loss. 25 lbs gone proves it works!2. Leg muscles. I’ve got buff calves now, dude.3. Running [...]
