So yeah, it’s Daylight Savings tonight. Spring forward, peeps. I can’t tell you how many times we were late to Sunday School when I was a kid because of Daylight Savings. Of course, we wouldn’t realize we were late until we pulled the burgundy minivan into the full parking lot and entered the empty hallways […]

Wait. WAIT. This challenge is over? It’s February 29 already?! Read it and weep, peeps. This challenge is in the books. Over. Done with. Finito. By now, you know the drill. Weigh, blog, check in.  Let us know – how did this challenge go for you? Did you reach all or most of your goals? […]

Today, I feel like I need to talk about water. Partly for you all, and partly as a reminder for me. I have to admit, I am pretty much the worst at remembering to drink water. And when I do, I don’t like it. My normal scenario is basically realizing that I haven’t had any […]

This is one my favorite pictures, ever. Lisa and I had finished our long runs, and ran back to join Christy for the rest of hers. This pretty much sums us up. We’re there for each other. We talk about nutrition. We talk about exercise. We even talk about getting enough sleep. Water. Taking vitamins. […]

Today is Go Red For Women day. Are you wearing red? More importantly, do you know what today means? Let me fill you in – the American Heart Association has designated today as a day to wear red to create awareness surrounding heart disease in women. Though heart disease is often thought of as an […]

When I first heard Paula Deen had been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes…well, I’m not going to lie. I wasn’t surprised. At all. Come on, now. But I was sad. You guys, I really LIKE Paula Deen. I’ve always watched her shows, and drooled, and wished I could eat what she’s preparing. But I know […]

My confessions are many. And they are ugly. I honestly don’t even know where to start. This new year, it was supposed to be a fresh start. Exercise, clean eating…reclaiming my body. Well, honestly, it hasn’t been happening. At all. I could recount all my transgressions, but truthfully, it will just make me feel bad. […]

Ladies and Gents, I present…our fitness challenge. Dunn, dunn, dunnnnn. Just kidding. Seriously, I’m kind of in love with this challenge. Why? It’s simple. Back to basics. We’re basing this challenge on recently released CDC guidelines on the amount and type of physical activity recommended for adults.   The Challenge It’s simple. We’re asking you […]

When I was first approached to review Gaiam TV, the first thing that came to my mind was yoga. The prospect of reviewing anything yoga related made me pretty excited. I love yoga. I mean, I really LOVE yoga. Unfortunately, the crazy that surrounds my life doesn’t allow me to attend my beloved hot yoga […]

Usually on Saturday, we review a product.  And give something away. Which is great and awesome…I heart giveaways. But this week, I want to try something different. I want to talk about giving back. Reaching out. Helping someone less fortunate. This time of year, it is SO easy to get caught up in STUFF. It […]

I can’t even get my head around how dumb it was for me to schedule myself to write the True Confessions post the week after Thanksgiving. That said, at least you’ll be entertained. Here we go: Confession 1: I hosted Thanksgiving this year. I could have chosen healthful recipes. I could have made better decisions. […]

Thanksgiving is upon us. Food, food and more food. I always vow I won’t overindulge. And then?  The stuffing, the gravy, the mashed potatoes – they form a coalition to completely wreck my willpower. Cranberry sauce joins the party and I’m defenseless. I wake up the next morning in a shroud of regret, doing the […]

In honor of living in the moment and going with the flow, I shot today’s Shrinkvivor vlog with my six month old daughter. She’s much cuter than I am. Enjoy.   P.S. If this video is showing up sideways for you, switch from viewing in 360p to 240p. Or turn your computer sideways. (I tried […]

I’ve been up since 7 am. Dogs out. Make coffee. Kids breakfast. My breakfast.  Make husband’s lunch. Playtime for kiddos while I organize/clean garage. Nap for the babe. Five loads of laundry (three year old had an accident last night), washed, dried, folded, put away. Beds made. Load the kids in the car. Haircut for […]

Confession. I love baked goods. Baked goods also love me…well, they love to hang out on my midsection and thighs. That counts, right? My motto when it comes to baked goods is AVOID AT ALL COSTS. If I have muffins, cookies, home baked breads, scones, whatever, in my house, I will be unable to resist. […]
