What is your fitness plan this weekend?

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my rss feed. Thanks for visiting!I will be using my ValSlidethis weekend and doing a circuit workout from Valerie Waters Red Carpet Ready. My legs are nervous just thinking about it!
I am also doing the 100 Push up Challenge, along with many [...]

100 push ups!

Thanks to JD over at Get Fit Slowly, I have signed up for the challenge to do 100 push ups. My plan starts Monday which means by the end of July I should be able to do 100 push ups!
I am not sure if it will work but it will be fun [...]

Post-vacation recovery plan

The vacation is over. The memories were made, the sand castles were built, and the ice cream was eaten. (Oh, how the ice cream was eaten!)
So now what?
It is back to reality with a vengeance.
Here is my post-vacation recovery plan.
Sensible diet
Issue: Coming off a week long free for all of cookies, ice cream and [...]

Who ran the Boston Marathon?

Yesterday was the annual Boston Marathon and once again I was following from the sidelines.
I always get so hyped up by all the race day news (did you know that both Lance and Kristin Armstrong were running?) but at the same time I feel insanely jealous that I am not one of the [...]

Thankful for 13.1 miles of road

This weekend I will be running in a half marathon with some great friends and one pregnant woman who hopefully will not pass me!
While part of me is disappointed that I am not running as fast as I did before having children, most of me is just happy to be running again.
(Note to self: [...]

10 miler race report

Accountability. That is the only thing that got me up and running yesterday morning. (well, that and the fact that I knew I would be kid-free for several hours!)
I woke up to rain, wind, and COLD, which is not my idea of fun when faced with running a ten miler. [...]

As Nike keeps telling me: Just do it!

I signed up to run a half marathon in April so I guess that means I better start training for it, right? Yes!
Every morning the top of my to-do list says: RUN!
It is as simple as that and as Nike likes to remind me—Just Do It.
But Nike doesn’t bring me nice warm [...]

Are you ready to change your lifestyle?

Oprah Winfrey has started a new weightloss effort called Oprah and Bob’s Best Life Challenge.

It’s a pretty simple concept—eat less, move more, and make small changes in your life. It is about a healthy LIFESTYLE , not about being on a diet.
This is something I struggle with. I know I could essentially starve myself [...]

No excuses allowed!

 
 
I’ve heard it a zillion times:
“it’s the holidays and I’m just too busy to workout right now. I’ll start after the new year”
Sound familiar? I hope this isn’t what you are saying to yourself or others right now.

Do not delay your fitness plan just because it is a busy time of year.
Start your [...]
