Tell me if this sounds familiar: You’re getting ready for a workout. You’re all dressed, shoes are laced, shades are on. But you’re not ready. Not even close. You still need music. A heart rate monitor. A gps. Your phone. Okay. Maybe it’s just me. But I’m a complete gadget-a-holic. I once forgot my GPS when [...]

This is not me. In case you were wondering. *Winner has been chosen! Check the comments to see if it’s you! Okay, this is probably TMI, but I have to admit that when I run, I wear three sports bras. You read that right, three. Ugh. It is ridiculous – not to mention, it’s a [...]
It’s Wednesday weigh-in/check-in day. It’s our first weigh-in without a challenge going on in awhile. It still counts though. You can’t slack off just because it’s not challenge time. Head to the scale and check out what it says. Then come back here and leave us the results in the comments. If you are blogging [...]
A couple weeks ago, I reviewed the iSafe Bag, or as I like to call it, “the screaming hip pack.” Because it comes complete with an alarm that would make any perpetrator piddle at the sound of it. Or at least run away, anyway, which is the point. I also did a video, (Don’t tell me [...]
Have you ever heard the quote, “This time next year, you’ll wish you started today.”? I ran across it earlier this winter and it kind of spoke to me. It got me thinking about all the times that I put off starting something till tomorrow. I am the worst during summer vacation from school. I [...]
Let’s face it, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life we all find it hard to stay away from McDonalds. I mean, come one, it’s SO easy and those meals have toys, and the playground is So.Much.Fun! I stumbled across this infographic on Pinterest, and to be honest, it makes me unhappy. On a [...]
I’m a huge fan of chips. They’re the perfect blend of crunchy and salty that makes my mouth happy happy. I mean, seriously, what’s better than a nice crunchy chip when the snack craving hits? Sadly, my beloved chips have become an infrequent luxury rather than my go-to snack since I began following a healthier [...]
You probably know this about me but I am a somewhat neurotic safety freak when it comes to going out and running on my own. I carry personal defense systems that shall not be named along with my tiny fists of fury. So when iSafe reached out to us to do a review, I was all [...]
Today’s “review” is a different review of sorts. It’s not really for a specific product, per se, but rather for a type of food. How about I just stop beating around the bush and tell you about it, m’kay? M’kay. I’m a big fan of rice. When I was growing up, I used to come [...]
Have you looked at the calendar lately? If you haven’t, then you might be as shocked as I was last night to realize that Valentine’s Day is just FIVE days away! While the big day may be right around the corner, there’s still plenty of time to find that perfect gift for that special someone [...]
How are you on this fine Friday morning? Are you excited for the weekend? Any big plans for the Superbowl? *You may have heard about the tragic case of Sherry Arnold over the last few weeks. A much-loved school teacher, mother, and wife from Sidney, Montana, Sherry went missing one morning after heading out for [...]
…. it’s for me! The first time I ever did yoga was years ago and I had a cold. Not ideal when the class I walked into was super-quiet with n’er a creature stirring. My sneezing, coughing and general phlemgy loudness made me so nervous because I know that I was disruptive to the peacefulness [...]
