Taking It Too Easy?

If you’ve read this blog for longer than, say, a week, then you know how much I stress the importance of taking care of our bodies. You know how much I believe giving our bodies ample rest and not driving them hard every workout plays into that. I practice that whole heartedly. Every week I [...]

Why Not Give Up….

by tinareale on February 22, 2012

I had 0 intentions of blogging today. I have a to-do list a mile long and didn’t have anything in particular to write about. I long ago gave up on that whole “blogging just to blog” thing. I had other work (like creating plans for new clients) to focus on for today.Then, lo and behold, [...]

Take A Deep Breath

by tinareale on February 20, 2012

I talk a lot about the importance of resting our bodies enough. I regularly emphasize the need for rest days in a workout plan, recovery weeks during training, and not pushing our bodies too hard. I have no qualms practicing what I preach about rest…on the fitness front. Although, I still struggle with the desire [...]

Good morning! I hope you all stayed nice and cozy this weekend. I know it suddenly got really cold around here. We had mild temperatures all week last week, then they suddenly crashed overnight Friday night. In place of the mild 50s, wind, freezing rain, and below freezing temperatures took their place. All in time [...]

Staying Heart Healthy

May 16, 2012

Now that summer quickly approaches, I have noticed the motivations behind eating nutritiously and working out moving more towards the vanity side of things. I will own up to the fact that, yes, I like to feel confident in how I look in a bathing suit or in a pair of shorts and a tank [...]

Pure Indulgence

May 15, 2012

I have never gone crazy over gifts for holidays like Christmas or anniversaries. For those celebrations, I prefer to just spend time with loved ones and forget about the gifts. The relationships matter to me most. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t love some gifts or special treatment on occasion. In fact, after becoming a [...]

It’s True What They Say

May 14, 2012

It’s true what they say. They will get you. They will get you good. I didn’t think the “Taper Crazies” would get me. I thought I wouldn’t turn into a loony bin thinking constantly about the upcoming race. Turns out…I’m not so immune. It makes sense. I spent about 5 months and countless miles preparing [...]
