Hello, friends. Here we are with the end of January just around the corner. It’s around this time into the new year that some of us may begin to get discouraged, burned out, pissed off and just frankly feel like packing it in on this journey we put ourselves on to become healthy and fit. […]

I have discovered something wonderful lately. It’s called the great outdoors. It’s become my latest workout venue and I am hooked. HOOKED! As in as soon as I wake up in the morning, I am thinking about when and how the great outdoors and I can meet up again. Take it outside has become my […]
Most of y’all know that I am a Susan G. Komen 3-Day walker. Some of y’all know that I just finished walking my third Komen 3-Day 60 mile yes, 60 miles is a LOT of miles walk in beautiful San Diego, California. Today I wanted to talk a bit about my adventures this past weekend […]
The frost on the grass and snowflakes I saw a couple weeks ago are telling me that winter is beginning to make its appearance here in Michigan. I’ve had friends a bit farther north and west posting pictures of even MORE snow – so I think it’s time to start talking about dressing for winter […]

If there’s one debate that I hear over and over again, it’s whether treadmills or running outdoors is the better option.

So, you say you don’t love running? Guess what? Neither do I! I detest running and it doesn’t like me anymore than I like it. But you know what? It is okay to not love running. There is no rule that you have to love running. In my world, it is a no running zone. […]
I’ve been making excuses for the past couple of months…and I’m DONE with a capital D.O.N.E with those excuses! **I’ve been doing so good….it’s ok to relax a little. REALITY: No, it’s not ok to relax a little when that relaxing leads to drinking gallons of coke and barely any water! **It’s too hot outside […]

Happy first day of summer my friends! When we were kids, summer started as soon as that final school bell rang and the sense of freedom washed over us like a tidal wave. Pure joy. Pure abandon. It meant waking up early and heading outside to play until dinner time, then more outdoor games as […]
