All things NJ

Hello readers,

Its a beautiful 50ish here in NJ.  A nice change from all the snow and cold.  Most of the snow has melted and hopefully spring is on it's way.  I'm looking forward to sprucing up the front of my house with pretty flowers and new bushes.

I wanted to share a site I just found cruising the web.  NJ Monthly  Chock full of all things Jersey.  It's a nice site to check out if you plan on visiting or even if you are a native Jersey girl like me.

I like the restaurant links and reviews.  I know NJ gets a bad rap but check it out you'll be surprised!

XO,

K

Fitness Goals

I used to run 3-4 miles a day 6 days a week.  Some how I fell off the fitness wagon.  Ever since we moved to our new house 2 years ago and our commute got about 1/2 longer I can 't muster the energy to get on the treadmill after work.  Doing it before work ( I would prefer) is out of the question I already get up at 4:15am to shlep to work.

When I get home if I don't do it as soon as I get home before dinner I won't do it.  I hate to work out on a full stomach, plus wedding season is creeping up on me.  I'm starting to get busy with cake toppers.  I use the excuse "well I really need to get a good 2-3 hours of painting in"

It's so amazing how it seems to take forever to get to a certain fitness level, but in no time you are back to square one once you stop for a while.   I go through this cycle of being really actively fit and then completely falling off the map.  Right now I'm off the map.  I want to get  back on.  I love the energy exercise gives me. 

I'm giving my self weekly challenges.  Trying a new approach.  This week I will walk/run 3 days this week (bonus if I do it 4 or 5) but I'll work with 3.  Today will be the first for the week. 

What are your fitness goals?  Do you have any?

XO for now
