Thanks for bearing with me as I took the summer to reconfigure LIFE a bit. :)
As a middle school teacher, summers are pretty precious. This summer, my husband and I decided to do a good bit of traveling and spend time at the beach, as well as re-evaluate some of our plans for the rest of 2015 and 2016. And let's just say that in this summer whirlwind, my proverbial dance card got mega full. Unfortunately, the blog was one of the things I took off my plate for a few weeks. HOWEVER, I have been collecting TONS of great content to share with you! From recipes to fitness tips to PERFORMANCE SCIENCE... (yes, this teacher got SCHOOLED this summer!), I've got so many fun things to share in the coming weeks!
So you may (or may not) be wondering... what the heck have I been up to?! Lazy middle school teacher, vacationing all summer! Well, not exactly. On a personal note, David (the hubs) and I have been struggling with selling our town home. It's been a vortex of showings, offers, and... no contracts. Our buyers just can't seem to get their financing. So in true teacher fashion (yes, he's a teacher too... it's how we met! ) we've been working on a "Plan B"... saving money like it's going out of style, and paying off debt. I'm really happy to announce that as of last week, we have completely ELIMINATED our credit card debt. HAPPY DANCE!!!
Fitness-wise, I took on a challenge I thought I'd NEVER do. I'm a cardio girl and love my Insanity workouts, so lifting weights has always been something I've shied away from. Enter... THE BEAST:
I'm tackling one of the toughest programs I've ever encountered... it's called Body Beast, and it's all about heavy weight lifting. I'm trying to grow muscle and also decrease my body fat percentage, and I'm learning so much about the nutrition side of what occurs in your body post-workout, overnight, and during the workout so I can fuel it correctly for maximum results. I'm now in Week 5, and I've got 8 more to go... so not quite half way! I'll keep you guys posted as I continue to learn and experience more in this new realm (well, new to me) of my fitness world. :)
New post coming soon! xoxo, Alison
