Fonebloggin’ (the Tornado’s) Foamrollin’

by

(not a foam roller, but it's what Ive got on my smart phone. d*mn spontaneous posts...) Subtitle: Arent I the one who says if you practice what you preach there's nary a need to preach? Last night, after a day of active vigorous mama/daughter play, the Tornado gestured vaguely to her side and announced: Mama if this still hurts tomorrow Im going to get up and foam roll it.** Yes I laughed ...

“Mama, you need to start running.”

by

(this is my kind of running) The Tornado & I were out ambling around Austin recently when she stopped abruptly, turned, looked at me and stated: Mama, you need to start running. Needless to say, since this sentiment was shared in her not soft five year old voice, it garnered more than a few horrified looks. Horrified and, if I interpreted them correctly, Oh Ive been there, ... Continue Reading

Sad you’re not at BlogHer? (Breeze Comfort sportsbra give away)

by

(It's hard to tell but the VentipadTM is only in on the right side) I receive many, many pitches on a daily basis. Some great (where I can tell they've at least visited my blog & are pitching a product I'd be interested in). Some not so (the best as of late complemented me on my amazing recipe posts). Since Ive scaled way back on the number of review posts I do (getting back to my own ... Continue Reading

How to give workouts purpose & vision by discovering your W.H.Y.

by

Thanks so much to Joyce, the Moore than Fitness Coach for this guest post Picture this…Sicily 1932…(couldn’t help it…I’m a Golden Girls fan)…Seriously, picture this… It’s April 15th and the first hint of spring has hit the air. The sun is shining and the flowers are starting to peek out of their buds. After months of cold weather you feel like it’s time to put the top down, if only for a ... Continue Reading

A glimpse into my packpack**

by

Click the broccoli! Click the broccoli! Before I write many of my posts I talk them through with the 5 year old. It helps me to clarify my thoughts when I hear them said out loud. 90% of the time she tunes me out, but there remains that 10% where she's not only interested but ADDS her two cents into the mix. This is one of those posts. The photo above was taken after I asked her what ... Continue Reading

There (you're a role model.  for craps goodness sake Carla eat the olive so she'll keep eating the olives.) And everywhere ( some Facebook discussions that had me in tears I laughed so hard.) So ...

My Retro Fitness Secret… (guest post)

by

My name is Retro Mimi, and if you read my blog, 1972: The Retro WW Experiment - you know that I like to write about my adventures in retro dieting. Sometimes the food can be a little scary, but it is ALWAYS fun. So when the wonderful and generous Carla asked for a guest post, I thought it would be interesting to explore the concept of retro fitness & exercise. I looked at it as a ... Continue Reading

Framed.

by

(This is but a small sampling. I am, indeed, an addict.) Ok, People. I start this post by longing to make a comparison I know will date me, and one I used to make repeatedly back in the day. Back in the day when it still dated me----just not as much. To know me. To *really* know me. Is to realize I aspire to be Elton John. (if you're young and befuddled please to see the caption ...
