Lydia – I love how you described what fitness means to you. You made a great point because you are doing things to help your body become stronger and useful for more practical things. We don’t all need to be able to lift 50 pounds over our head or do 100 pushups. Being strong enough to live our daily lives effectively and pain free is a definite WIN!

I really enjoyed this read, Katerina. I’m glad you mentioned that you don’t really enjoy exercise. So many people agree with you, I’m sure, but probably don’t want to say so. Thank you for contributing to this awesome discussion and bringing up such a valid point!

Sara Brennan commented on the post, What My Workout Means To Me, on the site WIRL Project 8 years, 11 months ago ·
You’re so right, Jill! It’s SO much easier to hit snooze in the morning, but doing little things like preparing your pre-workout and having it on your night stand makes getting out of bed a bit more manageable. I also love how you say your workout time out is the “only time you have to yourself” … I couldn’t agree more! Great story, looking…[Read more]

Until recently, I vowed that I would have an exclusive relationship with the workout system T25 for the rest of my life. Although I still have very strong feelings for the very effective 10 week DVD workout […]

So, what the hell is the “Dad Bod”? It’s been trending on social media and showing up on the news lately and I’m not sure what to think of it.
I guess this, “Dad Bod” has always been around…it’s the guy […] -

Misty – this is a great response to my WIRL titled: http://www.wirlproject.com/this-whole-homeschooling-thing/. I give you a lot of credit for taking the time to learn and do what’s best for you and your family. You make some really great points and I’m so happy to shed light on this “hot topic”.

Jill – I really love the points you make here. I 100% agree with you that the social aspect of school is a HUGE component! I think pointing this out is really important. Out of the 1,000+ students I taught over the years, there were definitely a few who my heart went out to because somehow, I could just tell, it wasn’t the right environment for…[Read more]

Thank you @amacaluso29! You make a really good point – When hot topics come up, people like to choose one side or the other and judge before they fully understand. I mean, I kind of did that at first, I was completely shocked to learn that homeschooling was as effective as it is! Little did I know…right?!
Thanks for being a part of this…[Read more]

Andrea – Thank you for your insight. It was very interesting to get an overview of your typical day. I’m knew I might upset some in the beginning of the WIRL, which is why I suggested you keep reading all the way though.
I appreciate you being part of this conversation and wish you and your family all the best. Only you know what’s best for…[Read more]

Nicky – I really appreciate and respect your response. I am so interested to hear from the homeschooling community because I’ve been reading so much about it lately. I am open minded about education, so I understand everything you’re saying and how choosing to homeschool your children was the right choice for you. Personally, I don’t think it’s…[Read more]

At first I was upset as I began reading your WIRL. But as I continued I became impressed. I get a lot of flack for homeschooling and sometimes its just hurtful.
I didn’t want to homeschool at first. But the Lord kept putting it right in front of me. Like a subconscious voice telling me. I pretended I didn’t see the signs for a while, then I…[Read more]-

Sara, just wanted to tell you that I LOVE this post. I think all too often on hot topics like this people feel so strongly on one side that it becomes “all or nothing”, and because of that mentality become blinded to real solutions that would actually help. You make excellent points – as well as recommendations. Great example of seeing the big picture!

I absolutely loved reading this Sara, especially seeing as I have gone back and forth with the thought of going back to school to get my Masters in Education so I can teach. I also appreciate that you’re talking from your experience as a teacher. I am not a parent and therefore have never really formed an opinion on homeschooling, BUT I will say…[Read more]

Diane, ohhh those wasted classes and credits!! They get you every time! But, nothing is wasted if you learned from it, right? So even if it did cost you some money, it was worth it I’m sure.
Thanks for the comment!

I’m glad you had such a great college experience Erica! I also thought graduate school was a much different experience than undergrad. What did you study in grad school?
