I have some updated goals, y’all! I’ve been rocking and rolling with my level of activity and getting into running again. I’m noticing little changes, like the fact that I can teach a full indoor cycling class with fewer water breaks for myself, that I have more definition in my arms, that my legs are…
I couldn’t believe it myself: I went for a long run last night, and I actually enjoyed it! I’m currently in training for the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run, which I still can’t believe is in less than two weeks! It’s funny because, while I haven’t been running a ton, I actually have done a decent…
With all of the cycling and running and volleyball and general running around I’ve been doing, I have started feeling little aches and pains that I know are the result of not being strong enough, and still being much heavier than I prefer. And so, I have set two goals for myself: increase my strength…
So I told you what I’m leaving behind in 2018, so let me tell you what I’m taking with me into the new year! This list comprises different mindsets, actions, and items I want to bring with me into 2019 so that I can have as productive and successful a year as possible. An optimistic…
I know we’ve all seen a bunch of posts on social media with folks reflecting on their year, posting their favorite members, and talking about their resolutions for 2019. At the end of each year, I like to reflect on the year and recalibrate for the upcoming year. I don’t necessarily do “resolutions” in the traditional…
This January, I’m kicking off a brand new challenge here at Flecks of Lex: The 4K by 4PM Challenge! The goal of this challenge is to try to get 4,000 steps by 4:00 p.m. each day. The purpose is to make sure you’re moving throughout the day, even if it’s just to get up to…
As you guys know, I have been working on my fitness and weight loss goals extra hard this year. I’m down nearly 20 pounds, I’m stronger and leaner, and my energy level has been much higher. Overall, I’m feeling great! We’re almost a quarter of the way through 2018 (can you believe that?!), and now…
Okay, just had to get that out of my system. Yes, it’s my birthday, and yes, despite it falling on a weekday this year, I enjoyed it tremendously. But… I’m not done celebrating. I got a little bit of celebrating out of my system over the weekend, but it was pretty mild. I’m still coming…
Just one week to go in the January Whole 30! I’m proud of myself for making it this far, sad that I even had to do a reset, and mad that I still can’t have cheese. Suffice it to say I have a mixed bag of emotions. This Whole 30 was actually easier for me…
A few weeks back, I bought myself a bike. I set a goal to drive to work less often on days where I don’t have events or activities immediately after work. I could take Metro to work, but I could also commute by bike, which is even better for the environment, and better for my…
