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 CA [...]

Sometimes my victories feel trite.  Tonight was one of those nights.  The writer of one of my favorite blogs posted that she has been diagnosed with cancer.  There’s been too much news about cancer lately.  I wish it would just go away.  Her post about it is both disappointing and inspiring.  You can read it [...]

Janetha and Momma B are an amazing mother and daughter team.  In 2008, they completed a Body for Life challenge together and have not looked back!  I’ve been reading Janetha’s blog, Meals and Moves, for a long time and I have to say I was THRILLED when she and her mom agreed to featured as [...]

I think Cupid’s arrow must have missed me because I’m just not a Valentine’s Day type of girl.  It works out because I don’t eat chocolate, I don’t own a suitable vase for flowers, and too much red stresses me out.  I’m not one of those people who dislike Valentine’s day because “we should fill our [...]

Gratitude

Gratitude = attitude.
Without gratitude, I’ll most likely have a lousy attitude and a lousy attitude makes everything (including losing those last 5 lbs) HARDER. [...]

Rest

I often underestimate the power of rest.
People don’t build strength during their workouts they build it while they are sleeping. Sleep allows our bodies the chance to repair and rejuvenate. It’s a shame to bust azz in the gym only to get less than adequate sleep.  Enough sleep also improves our immunity, metabolism, memory, [...]

Fitness

Like food, there are a lot of philosophies, fads, and claims when it comes to fitness. No, not all training is equal. Some is good, some is great, some is plain bad but all training useless if you don’t do it. Instead of worrying about finding “the best” plan find something that you [...]

The first wheel of the Hero-mobile.  (Man, that is dorky sounding.)
My opinions regarding my most and least favorite subject.
Food

Eat reasonable portions of REAL food and drink a lot of water. It can be that simple. Really.
What’s a reasonable portion and what is real food? Does this mean I can never eat [...]
