I hate you elliptical. A workout whine session.

So, the elliptical machine and I are in a love hate relationship right now. I swear that after 45 minutes of awkward elliptical-ing, I have sweated buckets. Plus, it’s not like I’m taking the easiest program. No, I am not. I’ve tried Cardio, Hill (kill me), strength and interval settings from 30 minutes to 45 […]

Back to reality – plus my Workout Playlist

Everything has been going great with my new workout schedule! Except for the past week of sickness where you’ll notice an absence of working out on my part, blah. I really dislike being sick. Spending the last 4 days or so in my pjs, plus missing a few days of working out really put a […]

Holding myself accountable when Weight & Anxiety hold me back

While I am starting […]

Last week Super G. and I were in the vitamin aisle at Walmart stocking up on garlic pill (they have odorless now, woot!) for him and chewable calcium for me. I glanced up at the top shelf and noticed Jillian Michaels trim self sternly pointing her finger at me. I glanced behind me and then […]

60 day SlimDown System with Moms Into Fitness creator Lindsay Brin

Even though I’ve said before that I don’t do the whole new year resolution thing, that doesn’t mean I don’t have personal goals for myself each year. Like so many people, one of my top priorities is usually achieving some kind of weight loss within the next year. It may be that I need to […]

Reminding myself why need Jazzercise

I was never one for regular exercise, I mean I was already active enough. I ran after my children, spent a lot of time gardening, walked to the stop sign and back every couple of days and just generally led an active life. After going through treatments for cervical cancer I kind of lost some […]
