On top of my normal workouts I headed out to hike Elmore mountain today with my man and my trusty pup. While the grey days of winter really seem to stretch on far too long, today was one of those special Vermont days when the weather was fair and the mountain tops were covered in a fresh dusting of snow. It really was a beautiful hike and it’s a shame I didn’t think to snap a picture.
Afterwards we were starving! ...
Continue Reading →I’m excited that I’ve made it over a month in my 90 day burpeee challenge! I’ve also kept up with running a mile every morning and I’m already seeing my speeds improving and my legs are becoming shapelier. I’m also excited to say that after five days of calf pain, I’m no longer feeling terribly sore from running, just dealing with some minor aches and pains. I’m just about finished with the current Zuzka ZWOWs that are up on her ...
Continue Reading →Let me tell you, 1980 is A LOT of burpees. I’m trying not to remember I have 6120 to go before my 90 day challenge is up. I’ve also completed 5 days of adding a one mile run to my workout routine. I’m shocked by how much I sweat from running only a mile! It’s definitely a good piece of cardio to add in. I’ve also been keeping up with my Zuzka workouts and am about to do #50 ...

I think I must be insane. I mean, I have to be a crazy person. I’m doing these 90 burpees a day along with a Zuzka workout once a day and now on top of that I’m running a mile a day. Honestly, when I put it like that it doesn’t sound that crazy; an olympian practicing hours a day definitely has me beat. But for me, it’s A LOT and I’M SORE, but I’m sticking with it.
I added ...
Continue Reading →I finally did the math. It’s not like it was hard, I just didn’t want it staring me in the face. So far I’ve done 1200 burpees (60 more to do today), which means I have 6900 to go and will have completed 8100 burpees by the end of my 90 day challenge. That’s assuming, of course, that I finish. But I BETTER finish!
I finally gave Warrior Food another try today and I’m sticking with my “C” rating. At ...

1080 burpees down, more than I care to count to go! I’m hurting but not enough to complain about it here just yet. This is a quickie entry to share my latest Vitamix creation:
Vegan Spinach “Cheese” dip. I swear, that might not look delicious but it TASTES delicious. Since I’m new to the world of Vitamix vegan cheeses I didn’t alter the recipe at all so you can find it in all ...
Continue Reading →That subject is a lie. It’s only 11am here so I’ve only done my first round of burpees for the day, making it 840 burpees so far. But by the end of the day it will be 900, even though I’ll be kicking and screaming the whole way. I am SORE!!! Yesterday I completed Zuzka’s ZWOW #43 (on top of the 90 burpees for the day) and it was a total killer. She apparently recorded it right before Thanksgiving so ...

I FINALLY BOUGHT A VITAMIX!!! More on that in a minute. First…
Oh, burpees, you’re the exercise everyone loves to hate! Eight days ago we started a new ...

For those of us up here in the Green Mountains, we’re finally just starting to find Spring popping up all around. While today’s blustery winds brought a mix of snow and rain and there are still small heaps of ice and snow coating the wetlands behind my house, the flocks of birds at the bird feeder and blooming crocuses in my front yard let me know the end is near.
We had a long winter this year and some unusual thaw ...
