Getting Uncomfortable and Turning Down the Temps

health and fitness, news / reading / 20 Comments

On Wednesday, I wrote about making little changes to have a big impact. In that post, I focused on keystone habits – like how I now automatically hit play on a TED talk as part of my getting ready morning ritual. (This morning’s talk: How to become more confident — lay down on the street for 30 seconds. Basically encourages you to get comfortable being uncomfortable, which relates well to this post, though it’s not the main point.) However, I read a cool article last night that made me think about a new little change I’d like to try. I …

The Latest on my Not-So-Zombie Arm: One Month Post-Op

health and fitness / 8 Comments
Cast Off

Had a quick trip to DC yesterday (left Denver on Sunday afternoon, arrived home at midnight last night) and unfortunately, it took a bit of a toll on my arm. I haven’t talked about my arm much lately, because I don’t want to complain… and plus, everything is so much better than it was! But when a friend told me how great it was that I was all recovered and that it happened so fast, I thought I should post a little bit of personal detail to set the record straight. (Apologies for not writing more in depth about this …

Giveaway: Evolution Fresh #3DaysToGreen Juices!

Evolution Fresh Starbucks

Last Tuesday at this time, I was embarking on my two day juice cleanse. I didn’t love doing it because I prefer getting to eat big (healthy) meals, but I have to admit that the Protein Bar juices that I tried were pretty delicious! Plus, I was excited to get the chance to try a juice cleanse for a short period of time, since I’ve always been curious about what it would be like. (My friend Adam keeps telling me about his friend who is doing a sixty day juice cleanse and… no. Just no, thank you.) One of my …

App I Love: Adidas MiCoach (Plus: Numetrex Sports Bra and Motorola Droid Turbo Reviews)

Adidas MiCoach Charts

Several months ago, I was invited to try some really cool new technology: a sports bra that uses “smart” fabric so that the sensing fibers are woven directly into the garment. By wearing the Numetrex Seamless Sports Bra, you can track your heart rate without having to use an uncomfortable heart rate monitor! I was pretty impressed… it definitely brings new meaning to the concept of “wearable” technology 🙂 The sports bra wasn’t quite as tight as the New Balance and Moving Comfort ones that I love for anyone with a larger chest, but the material was a really neat …

Triple Threat Day on the Slopes

Keystone - Ice Sculpture

Although I got my splint/wrap off on Tuesday, my arm hasn’t been completely up to snuff yet. I still can’t bend it more than about 90 degrees, and I can’t lift anything heavier than my purse (although that’s huge improvement over when I could barely lift my cell phone)… but I can go skiing! I asked the doctor about restrictions on activity, and he basically said that I could try anything that didn’t hurt, although he wouldn’t recommend heavy weight lifting. So then I asked the classic Coloradan question: when can I go skiing? He was a little worried about …
