Just when you think you’ve got this whole healthy living thing figured out – something jumps out in front of you and trips you up. Your vices. Pitfalls. Weaknesses. We all have them. The trick is figuring out how to own them and show them who’s boss.
My pitfalls? Oh, there are MANY. Believe me. But it’s […]

Yippee! It’s Tuesday and I get to share with all of you, my friends, my internet peeps, my “confessions” for the week. For all it’s worth………………..
The Good
I exercised HARD last week- Monday (weights), Tuesday (running), Wednesday (elliptical), and Thursday (mini-triathlon).
Say what?! A mini-triathlon? As in, swim 500m, bike 12 miles, AND run 3.1 miles? Yes, yes, […]

When my husband was out of town last weekend, I missed a ride with my triathlon group because I didn’t have anyone to watch the kids. (I used the bike trainer in my living room instead.)
And that was just fine with me, it was freakin cold outside and after everyone got done with the ride, […]

I have just recently started eating shrimp. I’ve never been a fan of shellfish, fish, crustaceans, or any other word for things that inhabit water. But, I’m learning, because it really is a low-fat healthy way to get some good protein in you.
I found this recipe in the January 2009 issue of Fitness Magazine. The […]

Owater provides water infused with electrolytes, but free of the added sugar, calories, and artificial sweeteners. Owater comes in many varieties: unflavored, […]

When I was a little girl, I was not a runner. I preferred riding my purple bike with a big white banana seat and handle bar streamers to just about anything. No matter how many times I fell off that bike, I got right back on and kept pedaling. I loved to feel the wind in […]

I have been thinking about this project all week! So, who is she? Who is your kickass superhero alter-ego? What does she do? How do you channel her? When does she come out? When do you wish she came out? More importantly: does she wear a cape? Mine does. Mine totally does.
And just to clarify, this superhero […]

I have tried a couple different times trying to do the 100 Push Up Challenge, but I always run into a problem around week four. My lower back is KILLING me. It’s actually my back (and not my arms) that hinder my progress in that endeavor.
I was reminded of the same pain while I was doing […]

What is that you say? The answer is no, we aren’t skipping a weigh-in just because we are in between challenges! Go ahead, head over to your scale, step on it, peek at your weight, and then come back here and tell us all about it. Yes, really. Today really is a weigh-in day.
How did you do? Fantabulous or craptastic?! I was […]
