It’s Sunday night Monday morning which means I better get on this week’s fitness and meal plans. Last week, was crazy busy.   Between it being our boy’s last week of school, helping Brent with a big video project, training my clients, and my best friend was in town from Austin, I hardly had time to […]

Last week, I said I was doing a four week “Fit(ter) for the Fourth Challenge.  I just looked at the calendar and saw that the 4th of July is four weeks from yesterday. Silly me…I have an extra week. Last week went well.  I got in all my workouts except for one and I reached […]

Sabrina is a Registered Dietician and blogs about passion for real food nutrition at Plum.  She is a a Project Director for a research study on bone health in army soldiers.  They are studying whether online coaching about nutrition and exercise makes a difference in weight and bone density after a year of deployment.  She works […]

A few weeks ago, I talked about  “the cobbler’s children have no shoes” syndrome”, i.e., I’ve been finding it difficult to make time for my own workouts. Then, I read this post by Alwyn Cosgrove.  (He and his wife Rachel have written some of the BEST stuff about fitness out there.)  While I don’t agree […]

I have a confession. There is so much that I’m interested besides health and I have a hard time fitting it all into Girl Heroes. Don’t get me wrong.  I love writing about health, fitness, and food. It’s just that health and fitness is a part of my life,  it’s not my life. Plus we […]

Last week, I showed you how I plan my weekly meals and workouts.  Those plans are usually scribbled on scrap paper which is good.  It’s good to save trees. But… It’s also good to have something pretty, fun, and organized.  (Ahem) So my beloved webslave Brent, (often known as Grill Hero) made me a kick […]

Guess what?  The plane didn’t crash.  Shocking, no? Flying makes me very nervous.  So nervous that I consciously do things I try not to don’t do.  Things like leave my hair on the shower wall (because Brent will most definitely appreciate strands of course dark hair still clogging the drains when I’m gone) and my clothes […]

I’m here being all kinds of crazy chillaxin’ at LAX with mascara speared down my cheeks. (I’m not good at goodbyes.) I’m taking a red eye flight to Baltimore. Going red eye because I’m scared to fly withBrent but terrified without him so we figured a red eye and some Xanax would do me (and […]

Our CSA box this week. Seriously, 24 artichokes, albeit, they are small but still…24! We also got English peas, apricots, lettuce, bell peppers, Tokyo turnips, cauliflower, potatoes, parsley, and  summer squash. It’s the Motherload. Today, I made the English Peas recipe that I had on my meal planner for yesterday.  I’m all about flexibility. First, […]

You know the saying, “the cobbler’s children have no shoes”? In my case it would be, “the swinger’s children have no…” Oh never mind. What I’m trying to say (and failing miserably) is that I don’t want to be an out of shape trainer.  I want to be a trainer that walks the talk. While […]
