Don’t worry I’m aware it’s February 1, 2010.  Yep, we are already into our second month of 2010.  How are you doing with those New Year’s resolutions?  I got off to a slow start.  It helped that I finally put some thought into the changes I want to see this year.  I finally got around [...]

I’ve been having a rough week so it’s been hard to find time (or emotional energy) to post.  However, I did want to share a recap of the Hardstyle Kettlebell Certification I went to last weekend. When I first read about kettlebells I knew I had to try them mostly because they have that old [...]

No Pink’s not fluffy.  Her abs are rockin’ That outfit is not. I just watched Behind the Scenes with Pink on the Women’s Health Magazine website. “I am a walking contradiction.  I go to extremes…….it’s got to be organic, fresh fish, tofu, greens, and then I’ll order a pizza at night and drink a bottle of [...]

I think I may have overestimated my will power.  Maybe I’m not ready for chapter three of The Great Sugar Experiment. Tuesday night, my husband mentioned he had been wanting ice cream all day.  We were sitting on the couch and he looked so tired, sweet, and cuddly.  I wanted to do something nice for [...]

I hope you didn’t get this twice or more. If so, sorry. We are having some technical difficulties on this end. (I say “we” as in my husband. Email alone can make me want to throw a kettlebell at the screen.) Anyway, I wrote this post yesterday morning but it doesn’t appear to have sent [...]

Enough of the gloom and doom from yesterday’s post.  So what are some things we can actually do aside from moving out in the middle of nowhere to grow and raise our own food while wearing dresses made from feed bags.  We are all at different stages of change in our lifestyle.  (Assuming none of [...]

Over Christmas break, I finally got around to watching Food Inc. and last night I read this article about Monsanto’s GMO corn being linked to organ failure.  If you haven’t seen Food Inc. I’d like to suggest you do.  It’s powerful, thought provoking, and it might even change your perspective on food or make you [...]

As some of you know I had a secret affair with the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. A serious sugar addiction. On December 31st, 2007, I decided I would not eat candy, cookies, ect. for a year.  A year rolled by and I surprisingly kept my promise to myself.  So I decided to spend another year [...]

Yay. An “opportunity” to grow in character already this year. This evening, I got a message that the kitchen in our rental had flooded and we are still 2000 miles away on vacation.  Thanks 2010 for the great start. I haven’t been on the computer much because I’ve been spending as much time as possible [...]

We are left today for Indiana and will be gone for just over three weeks. While I love to travel I always get a little nervous about getting derailed from my healthy lifestyle. I’m visiting family and my sister and parents both have home gyms. My sister also belongs to a gym and mentioned getting [...]
