Blog reading: fun relaxation or necessary evil?

by

  Last week at Fitbloggin (I cannot believe its been a week! Is it reunion time yet?) I overheard many conversations which went something like this: DUDE! I love your blog! I dont comment a lot because I read from my phone whenever I can but when I can read it I love it. Or I suck. Im so overwhelmed by my goggle reader I've started just deleting everything. Im sorry I havent read your ... Continue Reading

…because at the CORE we’re all the same.

Im awake. Im coffee-free because it's Yom Kippur and we're not supposed to drink PERIOD let alone have the nectar of the G-ds which is the only thing that gets this woman out of bed at 4a. So Im on the computer puttering around and checking my email. Which, now that I consider it, is probably ALSO not 'allowed' on this day of atonement----but I shall forgive myself this one transgression and ... Continue Reading

Five months later….

  and what feels like a lifetime later----we've got Listen To Your Mother show videos! Much like going to Fitbloggin last week the opportunity to be a part of a group of women who just "got" me was amazing. Powerful. We were an eclectic group who had little in common outside of the fact we all use the written word as our way to best express ourselves. Not all of us were mothers.  ... Continue Reading

Fit to the FINISH! (guest post)

by

MizFit is truly one of the stars of the blogging world, even if she is too modest to admit it. Every time I read her blog I am inspired to stay on track with my strength training and be a better person. Honestly. I am so honored to share a tiny bit of my 150 pound weight loss experience on her blog today because like MizFit, I believe that when we share our struggles and our victories with each ...

I love me some Madeline.  And, if you dont read her blog regularly already, you should.  Before you do, however, make you some breakfast, settle in and read her message of hope.     Hi everyone! My name is Madeline and I blog over at Food, Fitness, and Family about my three favorite things: good food, sweaty workouts, and life as a family of three.  I am so excited to be ...

It’s back to basics bootcamp!

by

Im sad this is over: September came so swiftly and with it a return to this:   It was only AFTER school started I realized how off-track we'd gotten as a family. Our sleep schedule was *way* outta whack. Our foodstuff had, uh, welcomed a bit too much of this type of meal: And Id begun to take for granted all the active play time we had at our SUMMER ...

Im FITBLOGGIN bound!

by

Ive been fortunate to go to a *lot* of blogging conferences. Big and small. Fitness and general blogging. There will never be a conference I adore as much as Fitbloggin. It's been said before (heck, IVE said it before) Fitbloggin feels like coming home. Unlike other conferences where Ill freely admit to having the "what if no one talks to me?"  "what should I wear?!"  "what if I ... Continue Reading

Role model Monday: It’s how I do.

by

  This parenthood thing---like this LIFE THING---can sometimes feel like a crapshoot. Im sill working at forty three to try and FIND and LIVE my passions---how on *earth* do I expect the Tornado to find and *stick with* hers at age six. Last year we tried soccer. It went ok but not great.  Id estimate she spent more time doing that kid-thing where they move their arms FAST yet ... Continue Reading
