So, with all this fitnessing and challenging and exercising, I want you to answer this question: How fit are you? Being fit is such an abstract term. How do you … [Read more…]
Here we are, at the start of flu season. And wouldn’t you know it, I’ve already gone and gotten sick. Yup, I’m in the middle of my first ever round of Tamiflu. I still feel pretty awful – so I’m glad I got the Tamiflu. Not sure what shape I’d be in without it. The last day I ran was on Sunday. … [Read more…]
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 use anything as an … [Read more…]

Today is the first day of our EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge for the Wii! Are you ready? I popped in the disc this morning after I took my son to school. I set my daughter, Emma (A.K.A.

**This giveaway has been closed!** All of us at the Sisterhood have had the extreme pleasure of trying out the new EA Sports Active Personal Trainer for the Wii.

I’m a big fan of routine when it comes to my weight loss journey. Okay, fine. I’m a huge fan of it. I like having a scheduled time to eat and to work out. Call me a little OCD if you want, but I know that having a routine is what has gotten me this far. I’m fine if I have a day or two when my … [Read more…]
Well, maybe he isn’t exactly a BABY, but I will forever call the twins “my babies” and I think secretly they like it, despite the outwardly protests.
