My husband and I are going on a little weekend getaway. I took a day off work to make it just a little longer. We are going to northern Michigan to do some hiking and see the colors. I’m excited. We don’t do this often enough. I just got off the treadmill and was heading upstairs to get the … [Read more…]

I LOVE fitness gadgets! The same way 12 year old girls have mini-meltdowns in the presence of boy bands is the same excitement I feel when new workout gadgets find their way into my gym bag. So pardon my giddiness as I tell you about the PEAR Fitness Tracker Review and how this lovely little tool … [Read more…]

Think about your circle of friends. How long have you known each member and how did your friendship come about? How long did it take to develop your special code of communication and comfort? How often do you make a point of getting together, chatting on the phone and staying connected? Now think … [Read more…]

Image Source: fitsugar.com Inspired by Lisa’s post to change things up a bit, I wanted to share what has helped lately to  snap me out of that rut of boredom we all get hit with from time to time. If you haven’t read her post or Ann’s post about the importance and benefits of lifting weights, you … [Read more…]

You know what it’s like this time of year. The ads on TV are touting membership specials going on at the gyms in your area. You see your Facebook news feed filling up with friends boasting sharing about their visit to the gym or that they are IN the gym at that very moment “killing it.” But maybe … [Read more…]

As I type this post I am cozy and warm in my apartment as the weather outside turns into a Winter Wonderland. Wednesday morning I went for a 3 mile walk in short sleeves and capris. Later, we were at the park playing, having a craft sale and most of the kids were wearing shorts and t-shirts. Today, … [Read more…]

Athletes and non-athletes alike need proper fuel when it comes to improving the intensity and results of their workouts. Foods that require lots of digestion weigh you down, sap your energy, and leave you feeling sluggish and fatigued. Fresh, clean foods provide your body with the essential … [Read more…]

Well my friends, it’s the halfway point in our 30 day Shred challenge. How is everyone doing? Have you kept up? Have you moved on to level 2? As I write this post, I have just completed day 12 of the challenge. That means I am in level 2. I am writing this on Wednesday night because we are … [Read more…]

Back when I first started the Older Sister series, I promised some challenges. It’s been over three years since we did the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Challenge and I think it’s time we older gals showed the younger girls what we are made of. I am in a weight loss and inches lost challenge … [Read more…]

I love going to classes for exercise. I love the motivation I get from the other people in the class. I enjoy the fun we have together as we grunt and pant our way through a class. But, sometimes I just can’t get out to a class and I have to workout at home. Luckily, I have a couple workout … [Read more…]

So we’re a few weeks into our phenomenal New Year’s Weight Loss Challenge! The first week, enthusiasm was more than enough to see you through! Your spectacular loss from week one kept you motivated through week two! Now it’s week three (nearly four!!) and your former euphoria has started to fade. … [Read more…]

As the holiday season approaches, I have been trying to get a plan in place to keep myself on track with all things fitness and weight loss. I have come up with five things that I think will work. 1. My Fitness Pal (or any other fitness tracker). I do so much better when I track my eating and … [Read more…]

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 little bit when my favorite instructor quit … [Read more…]

I grew up in the era of the ‘Supermodel’. I knew them all by first name.  Christy. Elle. Paulina. Claudia. Kate. Seriously, not the healthiest of interests, but images of these women were constantly  in my face.  I bought magazines and cut their out photos. I made collages. My walls were literally … [Read more…]

UPDATE — I’d likely to congratulate Adah and Brookefor being the two winners. Congratulations, ladies!! If I could target any one part of my body to tone up overnight, it would definitely be my abs and core. But honestly, I cannot stand resistance work. I don’t do it nearly often enough, and the … [Read more…]
