To say that a lot had changed in my life in the last two weeks would be an understatement. The schedule that I lived by for the last two years had been flipped on its head, and as scared as I was about all of the changes, I am loving it so far.
1. My little man started preschool. I don’t know how my baby who I swear was born like last week, is in school. It still boggles my mind, but the good part is that he LOVES it! We have to be out the door by 7:20 to get him to school on time, and my little guy who used to love sleeping in is on his feet and telling me to hurry up because he’s going to be late. He comes home with new words, songs and pictures every day and I absolutely love that he loves school.
2. I froze my Crossfit membership. Since I’m back to school and the little guy started, the WOD schedule at my box just didn’t work at all. I would sign up for WODs only to cancel the morning of because I knew that there was no way I was going to make it there. On the bright side, I signed up for a new gym that is the halfway point between my office and the little man’s school. I’ve been twice so far, but starting today I am planning on going in the morning before work since I’ve got an hour to kill after dropping off Alex at school before I need to be at work. I was pretty scared at first because I haven’t been a member of a regular gym since high school, and even then when I went all I did was cardio and group fitness classes. I am happy to say that I am not scared of venturing into the weights section, where I am usually the only woman. I am also really enjoying putting together my own workouts and I plan on sharing them here weekly!
3. I am starting the 21 Day Sugar Detox today. I am nervous and quite frankly, I don’t know if I will even make it to day 21. Right now I am telling myself that I will give it a week and if I am miserable, I’ll ease up a bit and put fruit back into my diet. We shall see!
4. The winner of my RUN10 FEED10 giveaway is Rach. Please shoot me an email to frolicthroughlife@gmail.com so I can get your limited edition Feed bag out to you quick!
It’s time for me to get my butt into bed. I need to be up in 6 hours – no bueno!
What’s your favorite resource for workouts? Have you ever done a detox?
I’ve done the Whole30 which is sort of like a detox. Sorry CrossFit isn’t working out for you right now! I love my box!

I can\’t wait to get back to Crossfit. Hopefully I can get back after this semester is over!
I generally create my own workouts, but I get a lot of ideas and inspiration from the blogs I follow. Plus I teach and train, so I try to be creative for my classes and clients.
Your little man is a doll! Class of 2027 sounds so far away, but I know how quickly time flies.

I\’ve been finding a lot of great workout ideas on Pinterest. Thanks – 2027 sounds super far away, but I know it will fly by way to fast for my liking.
Oh he’s so cute with his Class of 2027 shirt!!! That’s so exciting that he’s started school and so great that he loves it. I know that I need to get my sugar intake under control. Curious to hear how your detox goes.
I found the tshirt idea on pinterest and I knew I had to do it! It\’s only day 3 of the detox and I am coming down with a cold. Hopefully I can get over it before it gets too bad!
What a cutie! He looks so happy! Good luck with your new schedule and the detox.

Mine loved preschool too which IM STILL GRATEFUL FOR :0)

I know! On the first day my boyfriend and I both went to drop him off and he was so worried that I would be crying more than the little guy. Luckily he went off with no tears and was actually annoyed when we were back after and hour to pick him up(they were easing them into full days slowly). My heart breaks for the parents who have to leave their crying babies. I don\’t think I could do it!
That “Class of 2027” picture is the cutest! So glad he’s loving school! 🙂

Class of 2027?? I feel old! HA HA
My BFF told me that this Saturday my Godson was up at 4am because he thought he would be late for preschool! Kids crack me up!

Hahaha! Kids are so funny! Alex was up at 6 am on Saturday and ready for school. I don\’t think I\’m going to be getting sleep for a while. Hhaha
I’ve done the sugar detox before and absolutely loved it! It was tough at first but by the end I felt amazing!

I hope I can make it. It\’s only day 3 and I\’m coming down with a cold. 🙁
Good luck on the sugar detox! I did the Arbonne fit kit in February during which I eliminated refined sugar, dairy, gluten, alcohol, and caffeine. It was tough, but I loved how my body felt afterward.
