The secrets to my weight-loss maintenance (Athleta gift card giveaway).

by

(MizBeerThruStraw to MizAlmostRunsLikeWind.) The longer I write about health & fitness the more I realize losing weight/getting healthy is, indeed, the easy part. Sure it's challenging to get started. Yes it can be daunting to stay on our fit-paths & not veer off onto Slacker Lane or Poptarts Place. Yet the number of emails I receive** from people (fingerquotes) at goal (unFQ) and ... Continue Reading

my #fitafterfitbloggin update

by

(was this pic really taken a month ago?!) Again with the thumbs Im Phoneblogger McGee. Id planned me no post on this Monday you see. I got up in the dark FICTIONthoughts in my head. Stories to write. Could NOT stay in bed. Now Tornado's awake. It's still crack of dawn. Im plopped on the couch. The TV is on. It's tempting indeed. To think: Man I wiped. I've accomplished some ... Continue Reading

Fit Stanley is coming! Fit Stanley is coming!

by

how can my fave part *not* be that she colored outside the lines?!   Being that my first career centered around writing & children I've been a friend to Flat Stanley for a while now. Long before the Tornado entered the scene, Stanley's skinnyself could frequently be found in my purse *waiting* to emerge at a crazy!new!locale! so I could snap a photo & return him to his owner. It ... Continue Reading

(I know. Is anything MORE guaranteed to make me <grin> than this?) Today, People, is National Power of a Smile day. Before we get to the reasons why you should STOP & spread the SMILE'age I have a story. A short story. A no-name story as I dont know if those involved wanna be outed---but a story none the less.

Six tips for detoxing from junk food

by

Ahhh, People. It's been approximately 11 days since I returned from Fitbloggin and found what was once my child. A former shell of her Tornado-self wrapped in Lunchables quick meal things, slathered in Skittles unnamed candy treats and filled to the HILT with rootbearD.** (I'll let that sink in since I like to imagine you, as I, are stunned by the mere thought let alone the in-person ...

(It was an) Eyeopener.

by

I'm a big advocate of blogging as if no one is reading. Writing purely for an audience of one: YOU. Only then, in my opinion, do we bloggers write freely, authentically, and with passion. Being asked to do this (Eyeopener TV. I know. I funny.) was a good reminder, no matter how we choose to write, we never know who's reading our blogs. Who our words are touching. In a positive ...

I wont lie.  I thumb typed it from the lobby of the gym where Ren Man was upstairs cardio'ing and I was downstairs...not. It was blogged from my ... Continue Reading

My Fila Real Women model video is *live*

by

Id make a snarkastic comment here about "the power of editing yada yada yada" but Im too in awe of the power of editing to come up with anything. You'd never know it was FREEZING outside. You'd never know I was feeling like an awkward, spastic gazelle. AND, on top of it all, you can even see a snippet of my Seuss-sleeve. Thank YOU for voting for me and thanks to FILA for staying true ... Continue Reading
