Checking In

I remember when "checking in" meant finding your current location on Foursquare , but since those times, the app tanked, and ain't nobody got time to check in everywhere anymore. There really isn't a lot of "everywhere" to check into, anyway.  I'm usually either at home, at work, at the grocery store, picking up Baby Tuesday, or taking him to a select number of places that I wouldn't care for people to know, anyway. March is nearly over, and for a month that normally is as slow as molasses, it has pretty much just come and almost gone.  In about a month, I will be 31.  I wonder if 31 will "hit" me hard, since I was still is a postpartum whirlwind when I turned 30 and had it not been for the date on the calendar, I would not have known that this went by.  I definitely feel a lot older than I was, though.  Most of the time, I am tired and feel unfit and a piece of work in general when I don't really have the time to work on mysel

Review: INSANITY Max 30 - Cardio Challenge

I have been sitting on this review for quite a while, as I have had the  INSANITY Max 30 set since last summer and am just posting a review of the first workout now.

What keeps me coming back to Insanity is: challenging but do-able workouts maximize time spent by working out different body parts at a rigorous pace no equipment needed doesn't require much space Shaun T is motivating workouts really do produce results in fitness and appearance if program is followed This is my second half-attempt at doing the program.  I have not been able to commit to doing a program because I

Happy March!

Everything is pretty much a blur here lately, so it's pretty hard for me to believe that we are already in March.  I have to think reallllly hard to recall the last couple of months, or even the past month. I was generally feeling a lot better about life in the second half of February, partly because I got to finally race again.  I've been sleeping a bit more lately, which makes all the difference in the world. For Valentine's Day, was a bit industrious and made tea sandwiches, biscuits, and chocolate-covered strawberries for "The Ukrainian" and Tuesday.  Well, the baby ate the blueberries and some plain strawberries instead of chocolate, but he enjoyed the tea sandwiches and biscuits that were made with him in mind.  If you're wondering that that means, it just means that I used relatively healthy bread and no raw veggies or overly salty things.  I find I barely touch the salt shaker anymore since I've started accounting the baby into my batch cooki
