Sometimes you need to give yourself an ass-kicking and get motivated! Yes, I get LAZY and all I want to do is NOTHING but sit in front of the TV and watch my TiVo'd Vanderpumps and Real Housewives or Beverly Hills. BUUUUUUUUUT! I am 8 weeks out and DO NOT have time for that right now! ;p 8 weeks out from competition! #fitnessfanatics #fitnessmama #npc #npcbikini #bikinifitness#getswole #beastmodeon #noexcuses #eatclean #nofilter#motivateyourself #beastmodeon #bikinifitness

Shoulder Day! 9 weeks out! When working out with my trainer MikeyFit, we usually just train one muscle group because we are in "building mode" (as he would put it)! #fitnessfanatics #fitnessmama #npc #npcbikini#bikinifitness #getswole #beastmodeon #noexcuses#eatclean #eatmoreprotein #beastmodeon #bikinifitness #eatclean #shoulders #fitnessfanatics #fitnessmama #fitness #noexcuses #noexcusemom #motivate #npcbikini #npc

This week has been an emotional roller coaster with the ride coming to an end tonight. I have been slacking on my blogs and really don't have an excuse. Day after day, my "tasks" list reminds me to write an update blog about my Mom's fight against lung cancer but I never seem to check that off my list...and it won't happen tonight. Instead, I woke up from passing out putting Maddox to sleep in the king size bed that is next to my Mom in her hospital bed. As I washed the sm

Many of you have asked how I get my ABS...well, we all know that what you eat plays a major part of having your abs show. Diet with a solid abs routine is the ultimate combo. Watch my video to help you get started on those 6-pack abs! ABS routine video taken by my awesome friend Annan with a guest appearance from Jennell. #abs #fitness #workout

Cancer is Cray! My life has been for the most part an open book. I've blogged about just everything, including stupid cancer hoping that it will give perspective and some sort of comfort that we are not alone fighting this disease. I had breast cancer in 2006 and my Mom has been battling Stage IV lung cancer since September 2012. She finished her last chemo last Thursday and tomorrow we have her CT scan to see if there has been any "progress". Once we get back the results,

It’s the CROSSFIT GAMES 2013 this weekend! This morning I checked online to see if their website posted any of yesterday’s events and clicked on the highlight reel. http://games.crossfit.com/video/crossfit-games-update-show-july-25-2013 As I watched the mother/daughter portion (they are both competitors this year), I remembered what had happened yesterday in the car with my son Maddox who will be 3 years old at the end of November… We were on the way to visit my friend Christ

Before I ever was a Mommy I would see these Moms running around town with their kids - FIT AS CAN BE! I remember only hoping that after I had a kid (or two?) that I would be able to maintain some sort of fitnees routine. You’ll be amazed at what you can do with the right time management and a some help from the Dad. As you all know, I am a single Mom but am fortunate to have a good relationship with Maddox’s Dad who loves his son and wants to spend time with him. On the da

So in less than 41 hours I will be running in the Carlsbad Marathon - my second. Not sure who’s great idea this was to run this race? Oh wait…mine. This seriously has been a challenging race to train for…I mean who seriously is going to train over Thanksgiving and all the damn holiday parties that one MUST attend during the month of December??? Oh and wait, how do you do your long runs of 14, 16, 18, 20 miles on the weekends when you have a two year old and you feel guilty
