Did you all see Christy’s recent post about her love of gadgets and how they motivate her to keep moving? Let me just say, I can relate, sisters! I feel the same way about health and fitness apps. In honor of my six month anniversary of being a proud owner of my very first smartphone, [...]
Have you ever thought of becoming a runner but had no idea where to start? Or maybe you knew that you could start, but then had fear that you wouldn’t finish, or that it might hurt too much, or that there is just no way you could ever be a runner? Do you want to get [...]
I love to travel. One of my favorite places to visit is San Francisco. I don’t know what it is about this city, but I just love it. Given my love of the city, I’ve been fortunate enough to be here all week on vacation with my BFF, Tracy. Since we’ve both been here in [...]
It’s Toot Your Horn Tuesday and I’m feeling quite “tootable” today. Where to start, where to start??? Let’s start with it’s week two of the new challenge and so far, I have stayed under my starting weight! I have tried to keep my eating in check and exercising most days. It seems to be working. [...]
I was woken up too early and now I’m overtired and kid one is on the computer where I want to work and kid two needs my assistance every 2.5 minutes and my husband is breathing too loudly and looking at me funny and I can tell it’s going to be a terrible, horrible, no [...]
It took me awhile, but I’ve learned that if I don’t like it, I won’t do it. I know that I need to exercise, but I had to figure out what makes me want to exercise. You have to like what you are doing. And finally, I do!! I was kind of lost for a [...]
A few weeks ago, I started a new exercise plan. I was motivated. I was focused. I was 100% dedicated to seeing it through. And then my world kind of imploded. My husband’s accident and becoming a full-time student once more came in the same week. I could have handled maintaining my exercise plan and full-time school. But the added responsibility [...]

I have been doing a lot of walking and hiking lately. The picture is from Sunday when I went and did some hiking out at Coffee Creek Park with Katie and Hoss. I liked being out with them because Hoss doesn’t let you stop and rest. He keeps you moving at all times. Tonight, I [...]

I was all excited when I first read that I had this post a couple of weeks ago. I had been going great guns with my walking. I was using the Charity Miles app and felt like my walking was not just benefitting me, but also Autism Speaks. I was feeling good and walking farther [...]
Well my friends, if it is Tuesday, it must be time for some bragging. Tooting, if you will. Did you exercise like a maniac? Did you do a race of some kind and kick butt? Did you meal plan and stick with it every day? Maybe you ate really well. Whatever wonderful thing you did, [...]
I’ve always wanted to do a charity race, but (at the risk of souding horribly self-centered), the idea of fundraising scares the crap out of me. I’ve read guides and how-to’s and it all just seems horribly intimidating. That being said, I’ve always found the idea of someone benefitting from my running very intriguing. Then [...]
When people ask me what listen to on my iPod while I’m huffing and puffing away running or walking, they are often surprised to learn it’s not music. Yes, I do have a playlist of songs mostly used for when I really have to dig deep to get the legs pumping or in a race [...]
