11 things I’ve learned from MMA

I’m beat. Literally. I got home not too long ago from my mixed martial arts (MMA) self defense class. I go twice a week and we practice things like grappling (wrestling), striking, kicking, knife defense, judo (ugghhh) and ninjitsu. It’s been quite the learning experience. Which reminds me… 11 Things I’ve Learned from MMA. I’ve […] Read more…

Photos!

Is it better to publish informative posts less often, or personal fluff posts frequently? I guess I’ll aim for somewhere in the middle. I got my ass beat in my MMA self defense class today, and I was going to write about the things I’ve learned in that class during the past 8 months. But […] Read more…

Exhausted Ramblings

Holy fudgesticks. I’m not sure I’m entirely coherent right now. Perhaps that will make for an interesting post, but probably not. Out of sheer laziness I considered putting up the angry, drunk post I wrote Saturday night, but well…I guess I’m not that incoherent. Just been busy. I’m kind of exhausted at the moment, but […] Read more…

Sober partying and a lying reverse pistol

When it comes to my goals, a big obstacle I’ve always faced is staying on point during the weekends. For years I’ve teetered back and forth between wanting to be gung-ho about not imbibing or eating fried food on the weekends, and then inevitably jumping off a cliff into an oblivion of carbs and alcohol […] Read more…

A few things…

I got a Twitters. Add me at MsFitGeek! I’m not very good at the Twitter thing. At least, not with a public one. I actually have another private one where I am completely and utterly inappropriate, but that one is going to stay under wraps. I don’t want to give away all my potentially offensive […] Read more…

Looks like I’ve got my work cut out for me!

Today I received my first organic co-op share via the Organic Buying Club of South Florida. The way it works is you join a group in your area, usually as a substitute so you can try it out before deciding to commit. And once every two weeks you pick up a bunch of organic veggies, […] Read more…

The pool guy saw me naked

Dear all 10 people who read my blog, forgive my absence. Things have been cray-cray in the real world. As you may remember, I was staying at my parents’ house while I had a new floor installed at my place. Well, one morning when no one was home I decided to walk around the house […] Read more…

Step it up!

Stuff to Think About: Remember the post I wrote about walking? I’d like to expound on it a bit. So, it’s been established that walking is awesome, but just how much of it are you doing? Enter the pedometer–one of the best pieces of “fitness” equipment you can invest in. Knowing how many steps you […] Read more…

Weekend Randomness

In bullets, because they are easy 😛 I drank beer last night. And vodka. And I ate calamari…again. It was my cheat meal, okay! I can’t help it if fried is my favorite flavor. I’m a firm believer that good friends, lols and bacchanalia are good for the soul. So, um, I’m officially winning the […] Read more…
