Holy, I seriously feel like my life never slows down. I’m having a hard time finding a moment to sit to write a blog post but I’m going to make a goal to write 3 times a week (don’t let me slack). I have some really fun workouts and delicious recipes that I’m excited about sharing; so stay tuned.

I talked a little bit about a 21 day challenge that I participated in back in December. It was over a few days before Christmas and man did I ever indulge during the holidays but I enjoyed myself. You have to live a little and be flexible with your diet otherwise you tend to fall off the wagon when you never cheat and honestly what a miserable life to never indulge.  During the challenge there was a contest and we were asked to submit a picture of what makes us feel like a superhero and I won!! I submitted a photo of my 5 kids and I on the podium at the New Jersey Spartan Super where I placed in the elite division for the first time. It is always exciting to win something and there were so many wonderful and flattering comments that I got for being a mom of 5 and still being able to train and do well in races. Thanks to all that voted, it truly means the world to me and I appreciate it.

Anyway on to the workout, it was from yesterday and was a workout that a friend (Todd Davis) did and suggested I try, so of course I did it and in my freezing gym aka garage (ugh I hate being cold). Wow, what a workout!!! My arms were definitely shaking but thankfully I’m not feeling the extreme soreness that I felt last time I did one of his DEATH workouts 😉  Try either one depending on your fitness level and good luck!

*this workout is to be done in 4 rounds working down the list so 50 jump ropes, 25 push ups, 25 v ups, ect. If you don’t have a jump rope you can modify doing jumping jacks, you can use one or two dumbbells if you don’t have a kettlebell, and step ups can be done instead of box jumps.

This is my loot that I won from the challenge; a 30 day complete nutrition vitamin pack and a water bottle from PurePharma.
