Resolution Recap......

So.....it's been over a month since we've all made those New Year's resolutions. We were curious, how is everybody doing? We just checked our personal lists today, and so far we're on track. One of our biggest resolutions was to be in better shape than we were the year before. Some of the things we've been doing to accomplish this are:

  • Cooking more meals at home/eating out less
  • Drinking less alcohol
  • Stumbles wants to run a marathon (Mcdeez not so much)
  • Make every workout count (don't half ass any workouts)
  • Changing up workout routines to avoid plateaus
What were some of your health related resolutions? What are your steps to achieving them? If you have any tips for us, let us know. We're always looking for ideas! Here's an example of cooking from home, we made sushi!!

Quote for the weekend........


Best Part of Waking Up....

It's been another busy week with lots of late nights and early mornings.  We'll be posting a recap of the Superbowl Party shortly, which might we add, was a total success!

Speaking of early morning, let's talk about one of our favorite things.........COFFEE!!!!   Today was one of those days when you literary have to roll yourself out of bed.  As I was deliriously getting ready for work, I smelled the most amazing aroma.... COFFEE!  That means that McDeez is making it in the kitchen, and soon I will snap out of my autopilot and start waking up finally.

This has become a routine; a cup of coffee in the morning before work.  It's like a trusty friend you can rely on to help you get through the day :)   You can pretty much call us addicts!  Every once in a while I drink it before a long run to give me a little extra energy, and McDeez drinks it before a workout every day.  

There are many studies that show that drinking black coffee before exercise can help boost performance and help with endurance.  This got me to thinking, since it works for McDeez, maybe it's time that I add it to my daily pre-workout routine.  I'll keep you guys posted on how it works out for me.


How many of you guys drink coffee before exercising?

Cheers!
