I’m a goal setter. I set monthly goals, weekly goals, annual goals, 5-year goals – you name it! In planning out my goals for 2020, I decided to dig around the internet a bit to see what some of the emerging trends for 2020 might be. The most scientific and thorough research I found on…
Yes, I acknowledge that we’re already into December, but it doesn’t mean I can’t still set goals! (I got a delayed start on the month anyway, so cut me some slack please!) First, let’s review how I did on my November goals, then we can talk about my goals for December. FTP Test – Yeah,…
Can you believe it’s already November?? I know I can’t!! 2019 has just flown on by! But, alas. Here we are. And here are my goals for November 2019 (with the huge caveat being that some of these will require my sprained ankle to be healed first!): Attend All of My Swim Classes – I…
People often think that there’s a quick fix to losing weight or hitting your health/fitness goals, and the answer is that there isn’t: It takes a lot of hard work and habit changes to lose weight safely and sustainably.

I decided to try out a new feature here on Flecks of Lex: 9 Things I’m Diggin. Why 9, you ask? Well, it’s my favorite number, and it’s my blog, so… here we are! My goal with this feature is to share with you different things I’m enjoying each month — be it food, drinks, activities, books,…
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…
How many of you guys had a Nokia phone back in the day? (Any Millennials in the house?) Man, my Nokia phone was clutch! The battery lasted for like eleven billion years, that sucker was prepaid, and it was the most solid phone I’ve ever owned. It’s probably still alive somewhere, with one bar of…
Well, my January Whole 30 is over, and I did spectacularly! I felt great, worked hard, lost some serious weight, and busted some of my bad habits. My goal last year was to lose 20 pounds, and I was doing well up until the holidays, when I just bombed on my goals. Yikes. So far…
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…
