And 100% why no one wants to room with me on trips like this one. The Tornado and I love to sing this song as a duet and she insists my shutting up during on singing the "Ive had six cups of coffee so IM REALLY QUITE AWAKE!!!" line. She has no idea what coffee is----but she knows mama likes. Im off to play in NYC... Pictures & video and otherstuffs to come.   ... Continue Reading

The Mysterious Middle (guest post).

by

I fear I may never learn the art of moderation.  I seem wired to either behave in one extreme or the opposing other.  In other words, I have no concept of the middle. In my past, I struggled with addiction and all the fun stuff that entails--hopelessness, turmoil, shame…and obviously, no exercise.  But since February of 2002, I’ve been one of the fortunate ones who has managed to stay away from ...

Because you’re not at ALL busy this time of year…

by

(These days there's a fine line between NAPPING & YOGA for me...) A while ago I jetted off to LA to speak on a panel about branding, blogging, and making your passion your income. (I know. That last piece was an attention grabber for me, too.  I learned a TON while sitting on the panel which is the reason I want to share...) One of you I was swamped by requests for a link to the panel, but ... Continue Reading

Exercise like a child–just don’t call it that. (guest post)

by

As a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I’ve managed to acquire a rather impressive collection of portable exercise equipment. Assorted dumbbells, various yoga blocks and straps, skipping ropes, stability balls, Bosu, ankle weights, elastic tubing and (my personal favorite), a TRX. Usually these objects reside in the trunk of my car, waiting to be ferried to the home of a client. Or ... Continue Reading

My top 7 fitness tips.

by

(Which total only 5 because G-d forbid I do things the proper way.) Blogging, writing, editing, and (for the most part) vlogging are all pretty solitary acts. I adore what I do. I can get lonely doing what I do. (doo be doo be doo) That's one of the reasons Im happy to be part of the Fitfluential team. We support each other and, more than that, we unite to support others. This ... Continue Reading

Bringing sexy back (Nancy Rose giveaway post).

As Ive mentioned before Im completely over the giveaways (dramatic pause) until Im not. And, as Ive mentioned before, the giveaways Im not over are the ones I seek myself. I sought out this one and, in a time when I was feel less than (sexy, sultry, stellar, smart--you name the positive S-word I was feeling less than it) the simple shirt seriously perked this misfit up.
