I know, I know, it has been a while since I have updated anything here.  With our vacation and the holidays there has been a lot going on.  As always, I am going to be completely up front and honest about my vacation and the past few weeks.  As you may remember I was doing [...]

Something very grand happened to me, today.  I went to a yoga class that I thoroughly enjoyed and I am looking forward to going back.  I have a friend that is the bomb when it comes to fitness amongst a ton of other things that I love about her.  Candy is one of those people [...]

As Christmas is quickly approaching, I have been so focused on my weight, Christmas gift shopping, vacation planning and a variety of other things that I try not to let sadness creep in.  I keep going back to a conversation that I had with my mother on my sister, Brandi’s birthday this past October.  My [...]

Searching for a swimsuit during the winter with pasty skin is nothing short of a nightmare.  A nightmare with fluorescent lighting and three way mirrors, which provided a 360 degree magnified view of my lumpy, dimply thighs.  I walked into Anything But Water (that was the only place I could shop for a suit this time of year) [...]

I still plan to update my blog regarding my triumphant swim suit shopping for vacation, but I feel more compelled to write about something else.  I went to Beginner Yoga, Saturday morning and it was a nice deep stretch especially for my back.  I have continued to have some sciatic back pain on and off [...]

When my December issue of Shape arrived in the mailbox well over a week ago and I saw Kelly Osbourne on the cover in a red bikini, I tossed it aside and wasn’t overly eager to tear into it as I usually am.  Depending on who is on the cover is what usually gets me [...]

I don’t know what it is about working out in a white tank top in my own home, but I just worked out like I was in the military.  I think the white tank top made me, for a brief moment in time believe that I was Demi Moore in “G.I. Jane”.  Of course I [...]

I don’t know what possessed me to order a swimsuit online.  Of course it did not fit and it was very evident the moment that I took it out of the packaging.  I just wasted $10 on the shipping to me and back to the store.  Penelope saw me, she looked at me very embarrassed [...]

As I watched myself in the mirror, today while lifting weights I came to a conclusion; if I do not look pissed off then I’m not working hard enough.  I went through my cycle of squats, half squats, push ups, tricep dips, shoulder press, chest press, chest flies, abs, and cardio.  I only went twelve [...]

I went to spin class and worked my already super, duper sore abs.  My legs were very sore from my workout, yesterday, but I felt much better after exercising this morning and it was even better working out side by side with my husband.   Today was my friend’s last day as the instructor until she [...]
