Ideas. Ideas. Ideas.


I love pinterest.
No seriously, I’m addicted. 
It is exactly what I need – I’m constantly thinking of things I want to do, am trying to do, want to cook, make, build, construct – and the ideas come a mile a minute, often causing me to forget many of them later.  I love that I can get browse through tons of ideas, pin them, and read them (or try them) later.  I love all the inspiration – the motivational quotes, the  reminders of living life to the fullest, of far-away places I want to travel to someday. 
As my friends know, I’ve been pretty focused on a healthier, leaner lifestyle.  No dieting. I don’t believe in dieting. I just want to be healthy, happy and set a good example for my son.  I came across a great page on pinterest that lists 62 great tips to achieving your health and fitness goals.  If you’re interested, here it is: http://www.leanitup.com/63-fitness-and-diet-rules/
I also really like this 40 minute beginner treadmill work-out to get you more into running.  I’m a beginner to running, but I have a goal to be able to run a marathon with a long term goal of running more and more marathons.  Most of my treadmill workouts recently have been similar to this AND I also alternate with days where I walk at a slower speed, but at a high incline for 45-60 minutes (3.2-3.5 speed, 6.0-8.0 incline, 45-60 mins). If you’re interested, here is the beginner treadmill work-out:
