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…

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…
No Delhi belly with this light Indian coconut curry recipe!
The first time I ever had Indian food was actually only about two years ago. I came across a recipe for Indian chicken coconut curry and made it myself. I had a feeling I was missing out, but damn. It was love at first taste. Before this I’d actually never had curry before, with the […] 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…
Spotlight on Sprinting
(Source) Sprinting is not your average exercise. When you’re doing that mad dash, puking is not far-fetched. Injuries can occur if you’re not careful. And soreness is guaranteed. But you know what else is guaranteed? Amazing results. So who is sprinting for? People who want to take it to the next level. People who are […] Read more…
You do NOT have permission to kick my ass…
Because I made it to the gym bright and early today! I am so glad I put up that post yesterday. If I didn’t, I’m not sure I would have made it to the gym this morning. But fortunately, I was able to drag my tuchus out of bed in time to squeeze in a […] Read more…
Adventures in gymland
Sometimes I think there should be a sitcom called “Gym Rats” because of all the characters that find their way there. And I think this morning would qualify as an episode. So I arrive at the gym around 7:15 a.m., and as I step into the free weight area I see a couple working out […] Read more…
