My Name Is George

July 23, 2020 by not your average mom 2 Comments

I’ve been participating in an 8-week strength training program. It’s called Butt Camp. It’s actually a shred and booty-building program. There’s a little (optional) competition in this program. Being competitive, of course I’m participating in it. I was supposed to do 50 minutes of cardio this morning according to the Butt Camp plan. I went […]

What I Did For Exercise This Week And How I Motivate Myself

November 9, 2019 by not your average mom 2 Comments

If I had to pick one form of exercise to do for the rest of my life, it would be running. I really enjoy running. I do other forms of exercise — I lift fairly consistently, I use the elliptical, I like spin classes and I still swim sporadically. But I love running the most, […]

Pushing Fifty And Better Than Ever

January 1, 2019 by not your average mom 2 Comments

I gave birth for the last time in October 2011. I was 42 years old. A little less than three months later, on New Year’s Day, I ran a four mile race in town. It’s a race that’s held every year. Since I had just given birth a couple months ago and hadn’t run while […]

ONE MINUTE

December 15, 2018 by not your average mom 1 Comment

We are one day closer to the new year, and as we near the day when people resolve to do all sorts of things differently starting 17 days from now, I want to remind you of something. Resolutions are bullshit. Very few people stick with the resolutions they make. Very few. You see this if […]
