I am sure you have heard about a few of us around here being Community Leaders for the EA Sports Active 5K Challenge. I would be doing this too, if it wasn’t for my dang back issues that are plaguing me at the moment. Instead, I am cheering from the sidelines!
I have a tendency to […]

2. When I […]

That’s my letter to all of you. Remember how Lisa posted this little thing about a 5k a couple weeks ago? The EA Sports Active people want us to train for a 5k and they’re giving us 4 weeks AND a training plan to do […]

It’s Monday, and you know what that means! Time to confess!!! Ready. Set. Here we go! 1. I have been to three tailgates in the past three weeks. 2. I wish I could say that I’ve been good. But I haven’t. 3. Food-wise, not too bad. Drink-wise, no comment.
4. I can’t even say that I stuck to just […]

Wednesday night I went to my very first meeting for a triathlon group I just joined. It has taken me literally months to get the cajones to go join this club, I’ve been stalking their messageboard the entire summer. They’re real athletes with real purpose, it’s all very intimidating because here I am, the biggest […]

Pounds lost and gained Calories/Points eaten Inches lost Minutes (Hours?) of exercise
Clothes sizes
But what about another set of numbers? When’s the last time you had your cholesterol and triglycerides checked?
My dad was overweight for most of his adult life. It took a doctor to […]

Guess what?! It’s that day of week where you get to spill the beans about your past week- the good, the bad, the ugly, or whatever you want to share. C’mon, you know you want to!

I have not touched a sip of […]

I hate shoes. More accurately, I hate shoe shopping. My feet are big. They are an odd size that isn’t normally carried on store shelves. I also have very narrow heels.
When I started taking up running (which was actually several years ago…this is just the latest incarnation), I knew that I needed to get some halfway decent […]

I am NOT a runner. I don’t have the right shoes. I have too much weight hanging around to be pounding my joints. Running makes me huff and puff. Let’s not forget HOW MUCH IT HURTS ME TO RUN. So yeah, I am NOT a runner.
This is so funny to me now because back in the day, […]

Today is a very special day for our very own Christie!
She’s finally turning 21, and will be able to imbibe legally No, not really, but I’m not going to tell you how old she really is, because that would be rude. So please, if you will, take a moment to click down […]

It’s been a while since we’ve had an EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge check-in. Those of you who said you would be participating in the 30 Day Challenge, tell me…..are you STILL doing it?
I have been keeping up with it. I like the “exercise 2 days, have a day off”- I can handle that. There […]
