Yesterday’s post about the RKC was a long one so today I’m just going to leave you with some links for some great stuff I’ve loved reading this week. (Source) Blogger buddy, Charlotte’s new book, The Great Fitness Experiment: One Year of Trying Everything, is now available for pre-order at Amazon.  If you have never read [...]

Recently, Gwyneth Paltrow, said in her weekly GOOP newsletter that she “had the beginning stages of osteopenia.”  Osteopenia is the thinning of bone mass considered by many doctors to be a precursor to osteoporosis.  (Thank you Google.)  One of the causes is a lack of vitamin D and Dr. Lipman finishes off Gwyneth’s (yes we [...]

That’s a lot of alliteration. I had almost forgotten my little birthday present to myself that I have yet to “enjoy”. My  upcoming RKC certification.  I got an email from Dragon Door yesterday reminding me of the requirements.  Oh yes….those. Can I confess something? I’m nervous.  I was nervous for the one day HKC certification. [...]

A Fluffy Flashback. I really can’t think of anything much fluffier than cupcakes. and This post has been patiently waiting amount the other 123 “drafts” in purgatory. A few months ago I took a mini-road trip to visit a cupcake truck even though I don’t eat refined sugar myself. (Don’t worry I asked what they [...]

Title is from a headline on CNN. New body ideal? Really? Since when is slender (so they’re not stick thin) with big breasts & full butts “new“? Since the last Maxim cover?

Her on set trainer Bobby Strom was quoted saying, “but what she really loved was the strength training–things like pullups and kettlebells–and the idea [...]

I am not with it when it comes to popular culture.  For instance, I still make Paris Hilton references.  I know. So it’s no surprise that I was clueless when I signed up to take a burlesque dance class/workshop.  I love all things vintage and in my mind I was going to a retro inspired Jazzercise [...]

This month I set out to complete the 10,000 swing challenge. This meant I “have to get  my swings in” be it the In-N-Out parking lot or rest stops. Never mind if people stared at me as if I was insane or I was embarrassing driving my family nuts. No siree. I won’t quit. The great [...]

Normally, I save these sorts of post for Fluffy Fridays but since the Oscars were last night I’ll call it  Meaningless Monday. I don’t get television so I don’t actually watch the Oscars.  However, that doesn’t stop me from going online to look at all the fabulous dresses, toned arms of the Oscar attendees, and giving [...]

So this is not really fluffy and probably no longer Friday for you but in CA it’s still Friday and I love alliteration so fluffy it is. According to US weekly,  America’s most reliable news source, that “America’s Toughest Trainer” Jillian Michaels is being hit with a third lawsuit this month.   A woman in [...]
