Today is Go Red For Women day. Are you wearing red? More importantly, do you know what today means? Let me fill you in – the American Heart Association has designated today as a day to wear red to create awareness surrounding heart disease in women. Though heart disease is often thought of as an [...]
I am having a devil of a time getting back into exercise. My main obstacles are time and exhaustion. And I’m also just kind of bewildered at where to start. But I’ve got to start somewhere. Take a step. I’ve done this before…I went from unable to run a mile to completing a half marathon [...]
When I first heard Paula Deen had been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes…well, I’m not going to lie. I wasn’t surprised. At all. Come on, now. But I was sad. You guys, I really LIKE Paula Deen. I’ve always watched her shows, and drooled, and wished I could eat what she’s preparing. But I know [...]
My confessions are many. And they are ugly. I honestly don’t even know where to start. This new year, it was supposed to be a fresh start. Exercise, clean eating…reclaiming my body. Well, honestly, it hasn’t been happening. At all. I could recount all my transgressions, but truthfully, it will just make me feel bad. [...]
Ladies and Gents, I present…our fitness challenge. Dunn, dunn, dunnnnn. Just kidding. Seriously, I’m kind of in love with this challenge. Why? It’s simple. Back to basics. We’re basing this challenge on recently released CDC guidelines on the amount and type of physical activity recommended for adults. The Challenge It’s simple. We’re asking you [...]
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 [...]
Usually on Saturday, we review a product. And give something away. Which is great and awesome…I heart giveaways. But this week, I want to try something different. I want to talk about giving back. Reaching out. Helping someone less fortunate. This time of year, it is SO easy to get caught up in STUFF. It [...]
I can’t even get my head around how dumb it was for me to schedule myself to write the True Confessions post the week after Thanksgiving. That said, at least you’ll be entertained. Here we go: Confession 1: I hosted Thanksgiving this year. I could have chosen healthful recipes. I could have made better decisions. [...]
Thanksgiving is upon us. Food, food and more food. I always vow I won’t overindulge. And then? The stuffing, the gravy, the mashed potatoes – they form a coalition to completely wreck my willpower. Cranberry sauce joins the party and I’m defenseless. I wake up the next morning in a shroud of regret, doing the [...]
In honor of living in the moment and going with the flow, I shot today’s Shrinkvivor vlog with my six month old daughter. She’s much cuter than I am. Enjoy. P.S. If this video is showing up sideways for you, switch from viewing in 360p to 240p. Or turn your computer sideways. (I tried [...]
I’ve been up since 7 am. Dogs out. Make coffee. Kids breakfast. My breakfast. Make husband’s lunch. Playtime for kiddos while I organize/clean garage. Nap for the babe. Five loads of laundry (three year old had an accident last night), washed, dried, folded, put away. Beds made. Load the kids in the car. Haircut for [...]
Confession. I love baked goods. Baked goods also love me…well, they love to hang out on my midsection and thighs. That counts, right? My motto when it comes to baked goods is AVOID AT ALL COSTS. If I have muffins, cookies, home baked breads, scones, whatever, in my house, I will be unable to resist. [...]
As a child, my family sat down to dinner with each other, pretty much every single night. At the table. It was like Leave it to Beaver, with lots of casseroles made with cream of mushroom soup and whining about broccoli. In all seriousness, I have some great memories of sitting down with my family [...]
Crock Pots have been all the rage as of late…there have been all kinds of pages popping up on Facebook. Crock Pot Girls, Crock Pot Guys, Skinny Crock Pot are a few I’ve been following. It really is undeniable – the crock pot can be a great tool for creating inexpensive, healthy meals. I’ve tried [...]
As a stay at home mom, I try REALLY hard not to watch tv during the day. It’s not good for me, and it’s not good for my kiddos. But a few weeks ago, I saw an ad for a new show on ABC, The Chew. It’s a talk show hosted by some of my [...]
