Oh, it’s the very last day of 2011. I can’t believe it’s here! We all wonder what is on the horizon for us in 2012. When we look back next year, what will have happened? I ask myself before the start of every year. But all I can say to you today is that we [...]
I’ve been in a major slump. I mean major. In all aspects of my life, it’s been a hard year, and I am ready to close the books on 2011 for good. With all the curveballs thrown my way this year, I lost site of me: my health, my fitness, my well-being. This is definitely [...]
Can you believe it? Here we are just a couple of days away from the arrival of Baby New Year and the ushering in of 2012. I can’t believe we’re at a new year again already! I swear, the older I get, the faster time seems to go by. Can someone please just put the [...]
Wow. Can you believe it? We’re at the last check-in of 2011. Seriously, where did the year go? So, last week was Christmas, and we all know how the holidays can sometimes go. You go here and eat and there and eat and this place and eat and that place and eat. So, let’s get [...]
Let’s start this confession out by saying that at 10:37 last night, I realized that I had this post due. I had a more than full day and I just about threw people out of my house from my daughters birthday party to start writing. Wow, the things that I will do for you people! [...]
Today is December the 26th! You should officially be done filling in all the spaces on your O Fitness Tree! How did you do this month? Did you get them all covered, or did you miss a few? Me? I missed more than a few, but knowing that cute little tree was waiting to be [...]
I have been naughty. I have been nice. I want to be nicer. To my body, that is. On this very merry of merriest of days, take a moment to say thank-you; show love and gratitude for what you can do; revel in the beauty around you; show love to those you care about. From [...]
No time. List long. Here’s mine (in no particular order). What’s on yours? Bullet list a must. Make packing list for road trip that starts on Monday. 10 push ups Make muffins for Santa (we learned long ago that he prefers blueberry muffins and carrots to cookies) 10 squats Go to the grocery store for non-perishables 10 lunges [...]
I feel like I was just sitting here writing about what was going to happen in 2011 and what was in store for me. It feels like yesterday and now, 2012 is just DAYS away! Where did the year go?! I know we ask this every year but I feel like this year went especially [...]
When I was first approached to review Gaiam TV, the first thing that came to my mind was yoga. The prospect of reviewing anything yoga related made me pretty excited. I love yoga. I mean, I really LOVE yoga. Unfortunately, the crazy that surrounds my life doesn’t allow me to attend my beloved hot yoga [...]
Hellllloooooo Shrinkers! How is every doing during this wonderful holiday season? Are you sticking with your healthy habits or indulging a bit here and there (or everywhere)? It’s time to face the music and the scale for our weekly weigh in. How’d you do this week? As for me, I confess (oh wait, that was [...]
As I look back on this past year, there is one thing that I know is true…well, there are several things that I know are true, but today I’m focusing on one thing in particular. I’ve said before how this year has been a rough year for me physically. As we sit here with our [...]
New beginnings, fresh starts, a whole new chance at doing things differently. I love New Year’s. Even when I was a kid, I loved the “Year in Review” sections of the newspapers, and reading the predictions for the coming year. Like many people, my resolutions every year tend to revolve around exercise, diet and organization. [...]
I don’t know about you, but I feel like I am meeting myself coming and going lately. We go to school through December 21 and that doesn’t give me much time before Christmas to get a lot done. I’ve been trying to not let cooking right go by the wayside. I have found that at [...]
Anyone else loading up the family and traveling elsewhere for the holidays? Don’t be jealous, but we’re loading up the minivan with our family of five plus grandma and driving 17+ hours to visit my sister and her family. It should be an awesome time for us to connect with the 8, 5, and 3 [...]
