Food for energy?
I have been feeling extremely tired lately (my side effect to pregnancy other than, you know, baby) and it is hard to navigate through my days at work. What are some foods I can use to help me stay energized?

Workouts at the office
I recently bought a small desk bike to use while I am doing paperwork at my office. What are some of the things people do to burn a few extra calories at work?

NSV Volleyball
Volleyball season started up again this past weekend. I played the first game and played better than I have in years due to my stamina increase from working out. I felt great and played amazing.

Is this evil? (How I am avoiding sweets at work)
There are cupcakes in the break room at my work. So, I am telling all my co-workers in the hopes they will eat them all before I go to the break room for lunch.

Crock Pot Meals?
So, I'm making red beans (to go with rice) for the first time in a crock pot. This has lead to me singing "Baby Got Back" cause, you know, red beans and rice did miss her. Are there any other crock pot meals that all y'all enjoy?

NaNoWriMo
Is anyone doing Nation Novel Writing Month this year? It's about writing 50,000 words in November. The point is to just write. I, myself, can sometimes get hung up on self editing when really, I just need to write. The website is here: nanowrimo.org If writing in bulk isn't your idea of a good time, that is perfectly okay!…

Cellphones and writing
I was thinking about this as I was redoing the short description and thought it interesting: Does anyone use their cellphone to write their novels or short stories? Maybe your blog? I wrote a chapter on my phone and I am still trying to decide whether I like it or not.

NSV!
I play Just Dance 4 on the xbox to exercise. I mainly just do the dances and try to focus on the dances that make me jump around the most. (I would say move the most but I have no rhythm so the moves are most like random spaz attacks.) Anyway! I sweat and get winded very easily. I normally sweat within the first song and…

Genre writing or literature?
Do you like to write in genre or do you fancy the literature approach? Personally, I like to do both. Mainly, I like to write genre while trying to break genre "rules". In literature, I often try to make my works humorous though, I think I still need work on balancing drama in comedy as I can get into extremes.

Survived Day One of Jillian trying to kill me
I started the 30 day shred yesterday. I took my before picture, I'll have to get it up at some point, and then I will post an after picture after I am done. Jillian is a sadist. This DVD has convinced me fully. (And I used fruit punch gatorade in liu of weights.)

30 Day Shred and Volleyball tournament?
So, I just wanted to ask a bit of advice. I started Jillian M.'s 30 Day Shred Tuesday. Well, I have a volleyball tournament coming up on Saturday. We will play, at least, 2 games. If we got all the way to the final bracket, that would be 5 games. Should I skip Jillian's 30 Day Shred because I'm also going to be playing…

Getting water intake in.
Sometimes, when I read the threads, I see a few people asking how to get their water intake in and that it is hard to do. So, I thought I would give a tip that a coworker gave to me. Take a sip of water between each bites of food. It also helps with filling you up. :) When I first did this, I was rather surprised at how…

One More Time!
Today, I worked out a lot, more than I intended. I walked and hiked for a good long while. Well, because my legs were still feeling okay, my love and I decided to go for one last run before we call it a day. Anyone care to join in? One last exercise? 5 push ups? A five minute jog? Give a last push before the day is…

The Once More Challenge!
Today I walked for over 2 hours and hiked over a mile. Now, my love and I are going for a short jog. I challenge all of you to do one last exercise, no matter how long or how hard once more before you go to bed. Let's all do our best!

Never again! x_x
Yesterday, I went to the gym for the first time in a couple of months. I did an hour of cardio and weights! I felt really good. Well, I forgot that I had two volleyball games later on that day. I played my games and by the end of it, oh geeze, I was sore! Never again! But, I have to say, I felt pretty good doing all that…
