It’s Monday. A brand new shiny week! What are you going to do with it? Let me start with a big admission. I am THE master pr0crastinator. It’s true. Case in point, I’m typing this post right now on Monday morning when it should have already been done and posted. That’s not the only [...]

Once again, we have three exercises for you. The goal of these monthly mini-workouts is to fit in quick, repetitive [...]
Hello there. Ever have those days or weeks where you just feel kind of “meh”, even though you have no REAL reason to be feeling that way? Yeah. That’s me. My blog has been suffering for months weeks… My motivation is lacking, even though I have that half-marathon right around the corner. I have been [...]
I was just reading Lisa’s Toot your Horn post and laughed when she said she forgot which day she was supposed to write. I was sure my next post was weigh in on May 2. I decided to check to be sure. Guess what? WRONG!! It said I had a post due in the morning. [...]
Guys! There’s only two weeks left in the challenge! It’s time to sit down, take a look at your goals, and see what you have left to do. How are you doing with your eating? Is your tracking going ok? Do you need to ramp up the exercise a little? Make it happen, friends. Two [...]
So, I thought I had Thursday’s post to write but it turns out that I am supposed to write toot- ha ha today. Really, I looked at our writing calender last week and fooled myself into thinking I had a post for a different day. Silly me. My apologies for the lateness of this tooting. [...]
It’s Monday, friends. I spent all weekend outside and have all the aches and pains to show for it. My back hurts. My ankle is bruised and swollen, due to one sneaky little garden gnome hiding out behind my feet and tripping me and forcing me to fall over the raised garden bed. Gracefully, of [...]
I’ve been busy as a bee over at Shrinking Kitchen. Menu planning. In fact, I’m getting pretty great at menu planning. The rest of my life? Well, lets just say I need to apply my menu planning skills to other areas of my life. I don’t know what it is…mommy brain, being flat out too busy, [...]
Do you remember being a kid in school and your gym teacher telling you about the President’s Council on Physical Fitness award?

Every Tuesday, we like to give ourselves a little pat on the back , toot our horns, and tell the world what we are doing right. Excuse me while I dig deep. {crickets} {more crickets} Okay, I’m back. This week, I started running again. Running my way. You know, jog, huff puff, walk, jog, repeat, [...]

A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Christie Inge, life coach extraordinaire. Please take a second to go back and read her guest post! As I mentioned then, I’m going to be tackling some of the questions that Christie presents in her getting started guide. The good, the bad, the ugly…I’m going to bare [...]
Many, many years ago when I was in grade school, we learned a little rhyme about multiplying fractions. It went “Ours is not to wonder why, just invert and multiply”. I’m not sure what got me thinking about that last week, but I couldn’t get it out of my head. I was driving myself crazy [...]
