I'm a glass half-full kind of gal. Every cloud has a silver lining, a rainy winter means more snow in the mountains and water in the lakes. etc. You get my drift.This kind of annoying optimism comes in handy for working out. I truly believe that a hard workout is one of the joys in …

Top 5 Reasons I Love Teaching Boot Camp
Forgive me for the absence but I didn't realize how much work there is to do when your husband breaks an ankle. Since Brad is still not able to walk, drive, or do much other than sit on the couch and keep his leg elevated (darn fractured fibula) I've been teaching class, working, shuttling kids …
Cleaning up a dietary mess

Don’t Skimp On Summer Workouts
Summer schedules can put a crimp in your workout plans. If you are staying home with your kids and running Camp Mom, odds are their schedule is a bit looser so you might not have to be up and ready as early as you had done the school year. If you are a working mom …
A body at rest sits on the couch all day
I'm not a lazy person. Normally. Yesterday, however, I was lazy with a capital "L". I slept in until 9:30am and stayed in my jammies until about 4pm. Even after my shower and a touch of makeup I was still lazy and spent more time on the couch than I did doing anything productive. I …
