This morning started off like any typical Sunday morning. You know, waking up at 5:20, well before the sun comes up. Okay,not like a typical Sunday at all; usually I don’t get out of bed until at least 9:00 🙂 But today was a special day.. adding another 5k to add to my extensive list […]
Thanks to my girl, Gina, over at Noshing on Asphalt for nominating me to answer ten questions related to running. Silly girl, didn’t she realize that my blog is Wine to Weightlifting? She told me I could modify the questions if I wanted to make it more fit for me, so I’ll go ahead and […]
When I set up my goals for September, I focused on five main categories: blog, food, lifting, cardio, and other. And this month, it was huge struggles all across the board, primarily stemming from my whole food issue (well, Whole30 issue). From my Whole30 experience, I learned that I was not nearly getting enough protein […]
Fitness Cheerleader’s August Healthy Living/Fitness Blogger Writing Challenge: Day 28 Are you a cardio junkie or a strength junkie? If you couldn’t tell from my posts here, here, here, here, or here, I’ll tell you now that I would rather be lifting a barbell than lacing up my running shoes. While I do try to occasionally […]

As you know, I am a huge proponent of running… not. For whatever reason I continue to sign up for races (have done 3 5ks thus far), and I have another one in October. I like races, just not the whole running part. I used to rock a cheap pair of Adidas from Kohl’s, but […]
Fitness Cheerleader’s August Healthy Living/Fitness Blogger Writing Challenge: Day 18: Proudest Moment of your Life Once in a while you need to look back at how far you’ve come and really appreciate where you are at. So, looking back on the past few years, I came up with a few things: 2012: Deadlifting my bodyweight! […]
One reason I like blogging is I get to really write whatever I want and since I have a small following, I actually feel somewhat accountable for things that I put down here. I do use it mostly as a way for me to keep track of my own things (you know, outside of the […]
I completed the Color Run today with an unofficial time today of 31:25 (as there was no clock at the race, so I relied on my MapMyRun app. However, the “Finish Line” of the race was before the mapped 5k finish, so I only ended up completing 2.78 miles of “running,” on top of the […]
As I mentioned before, I am pretty conservative with my eating habits Monday – Friday. I avoid all bread, pasta, oats, and rice, and stick to mostly protein and good fats, while my carbs come only from fruits and some veggies. Well, up until Friday night. Then something happens when I allow myself a “cheat […]
Although we have a great setup in our garage, fully equipped with an Olympic weight set, pull-up bar, rower, and adjustable dumbbell weights, the Michigan record temps have been just way too much for me to handle. I love the idea of working out at home, but Friday night’s workout sent me back to the […]
