I need to change things up. I’ve lost my workout mojo over the past few months due to the cold weather, early darkness, traveling, moving, illness, and a bit of apathy thrown in as well. I tried to give myself some inspiration by signing up for a two mile open water swim in May as

Heather’s resolutions
I don’t do resolutions as a general rule. It just seems so contrived- “It’s January 1st! What’s wrong with your life???” I prefer a slightly more optimistic approach to self-improvement. Also a more moderated approach. If there’s something I need to work on I don’t like to set January 1st as THE starting point of
Fresh Start
Have you ever done a cleanse? I haven’t but coming off of the holidays I can see the appeal. I came across this cleanse on Dr. Oz’s website and it sounds DELICIOUS which is not what I think of when it comes to detox. Truthfully, I don’t know anything about “cleanses” and “detoxing” but I
Go Smell Yourself
Recently my husband had an odor issue that we spent months troubleshooting. We tried EVERYTHING. A last ditch effort before making a doctor appointment, I purchased crystal body deodorant for my husband. Low and behold, it worked! Turns out the smell good in deodorants can cling to the not-smell-good, leaving an odor impossible to remove
Guest Post: Navigating the Rosedale Diet
I should start by introducing myself. My name is Sean and Monica (of this blog) is my sister. We’re probably as different from eachother as two people can be and still be related, though. I’m a little older than her but I’m probably half as mentally mature as she is. She seems to have it
Putting My Money Where My Muscles Are
I love making plans, schedules, weekly calendars and the like for my workouts. Do I ever follow said plans, schedules, weekly calendars and the like? Rarely. Darn life gets in the way too often. Part of the problem is that I get too ambitious. Work out six days a week for the next six months?
Useless Tips
I’m a sucker for headlines that go something like “10 Tips on How to Cut Your Energy Bill” or “Quick and Easy Ways to Save Money”. Even though past experience has taught me that 99% of these articles are useless, I always want to make sure that no, I’m not missing some great idea on
Cooking Ahead
I’m a big fan of cooking ahead as my weekdays are full of work and my week nights are full of teaching dance classes. I’ve found myself to be kind of limited though as I always seem to fall back on soups and stews for my cook-ahead meals (chili being the most frequent). In my
Training for Tri
As you may have gathered from my previous posts, Heather’s First Ocean Swim and My First Aquabike that, (besides being unable to commit to first or third person in my titles), I’m leading up to an even bigger event- my first triathlon. The triathlon in question is the Iron Girl Columbia Triathlon, an all female, sprint distance race.
Stalled
Since we lost power a few weeks ago I’ve been pretty awful about exercising. I’ve blamed the heat and humidity, and then I’ve been using the fever my son has run since Wednesday as my most recent excuse, so I’m holding myself accountable with this post. I need to get back in gear so I’m
