BeFit Go – 20 Minute Cardio Power

They say persistence and hard work pay off and I have to agree.  I've been a lover of interval workouts for about a year now and I'm in better shape today than I have been in a very long time.  Possibly ever.  I'm running faster, have definition and fallen in love with these hard, fast and totally satisfying cardio blasts that involve weights.  I'm really excited to announce that I'm now a BeFit Champ!  That means I'll be getting first look at the latest fitness videos to come to the BeFit channel and then able to deliver them to you!  Let's get started, shall we? … [Read more...]

Back in the Game

With all the running around, squatting and going up and down stairs while lifting heavy cans of paint you would think I would not feel so out of shape but I do.  The reality behind getting one house ready to rent, moving everything out of it and your family while renovating another house is that there isn't time for much else. Going to the gym despite my best efforts has just not fit into the schedule. … [Read more...]

Falling Into Good Things

I'm sorry.  I couldn't resist that horribly cheesy title.  I'm reveling in the fall weather from my sick bed.  Or at least what looks like gorgeous fall weather from the open windows near my sick bed.  I have pneumonia.  It's tiring.  I'm tired of being sick. I'm focusing on the fun, good things going on later this month instead of the fact that I'm laying here in comfy leggings and t-shirts, napping more than my 12 year-old dog. 1.  Leather Leggings.                     I'm at a point in my life where I'm actually comfortable with my body. I like it. It is stronger than it has ever been and I feel better than I have in years. So I bought these faux leather leggings from Forever21. That site is my … [Read more...]

Summer’s Lovely Reveal- What I’m Loving Right Now

I sometimes think that summer is best described as a case of white mundane mellowing heat punctuated by icy bouts of excitement.  There are those lazy days where you stay in your pajamas or head to the pool.  The kids roam the neighborhood with friends and popsicles are eaten on a regular basis.  Great books are devoured, binge television happens in air-conditioned basements late into the night and to me, it is a time to get creative and discover new things.  In a lackadaisical way I've been busy brewing with ideas, projects and testing new things.  It's a slow process that only summer can offer and I can't help but embrace it and share. Here's what I'm loving right now.  From workouts to books, things for the home and you, it's all good.  Enjoy! … [Read more...]

Get High

Let's face it, there are days when working out isn't going to be part of your schedule even if it is on there. That was me quite often last week.  Despite trying to do a 4-week fitness challenge, life just overwhelmed me and I couldn't dig deep or do any of that cliché "go big or go home" junk.  I just wanted to survive.  Over the weekend I realized I haven't run since the 8k and there is another one coming up just around the bend.  Except there was no way or where for me to run. It was time to get creative.  … [Read more...]

Scenes from a Weekend- 8k Edition

Run for the Dream to benefit the Achievable Dream, Wounded Warriors program was this past weekend in Williamsburg, VA. It's a nice scenic run that takes you around the William & Mary campus and through historic Williamsburg. We might be starting a family tradition as last year H and I both did our first half-marathons here and the 8k on Saturday. … [Read more...]

The Booty Fixer

Part of being a parent, to me, is being healthy. Healthy in body and mind, as much as you can be. I won't say it is easy but it is definitely worth it. The strength, energy, stamina and ability to lug kids and groceries and get a better nights sleep all because I exercise on a regular basis makes me feel a thousand times saner and balanced. Plus, my kids love the ridiculous insanity of the kid zone at the gym. It's a win-win. Except on those days where I look at my crumb-riddled floors, laundry monster growling at me from the depths of the basement and piles of work that are hitting deadlines and I think, … [Read more...]
