Yes, I am a Jersey Girl
The family is headed to my old stomping grounds of North Jersey for the labor day weekend. The kids love going into NYC and I really want to hit up the jersey shore. It’s so funny how you don’t appreciate how close you live to all these great things when you are young. I lived…

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
I’m like a broken record — I am S O R E from yesterday’s workout. So sore that today, I cut short my bargain basement elliptical workout this morning bc I was just too fatigued and sore. It’s great that I have been doing this boot camp program for over 2 years and can still…

Mixing up my workout
I’m down in body fat and lbs this week. The 4th week of the 4 week boot camp session we get our body fat checked. While not 100% accurate – it gives you a general idea of where you are. I have been much more diligent about my extra snacking and have been trying something…

Lawn work is a Work out!
Lawn work is my workout. I don’t mind mowing and clearing/cleaning up the lawn. I find it very relaxing and it’s a great workout. In about an hour, I burn about 500 calories and I don’t have a humongous yard or anything. It does have a slight incline in the back so that always helps…

Weekend Running
It’s a gorgeous day in Northern VA. I woke up — got dressed for a run — had some water and headed out. I sometimes use Mapmyrun.com to figure out the distance I go and today I mapped it at 5.16 miles. I am telling you the weather makes such a difference in my cardio…

Nordstrom Uses Web to Locate Items and Increase Sales
Nordstrom Uses Web to Locate Items and Increase Sales – NYTimes.com I love Nordstrom and its customer focused philosophy. And it shows that by focusing on what the customer actually wants, not what you THINK they want is a win/win situation. Wal-Mart hoped that deeper cuts in its standard rollbacks would be a draw, but…
