  • Happy Pap Day?!!

    What an awesome and funny video reminding women to have their annual Pap test. I love campaigns that use humor and a light touch when bringing awareness of cancer related medical reminders! Cervical Cancer is treatable if detected early…

  • Feeling Great – How about you?

    I woke up with a sinus headache but knew that if I went ahead and went to bootcamp, the chances it would disappear were high. Sure enough — no headache during boot camp.

  • And she’s back!

    Good Morning! Plumbline Training is outside for the season and it felt great! Lots more room to move and we can resume the finish as fast as you can routine which for me, always burns more calories and gives me a much better workout. I needed to feel renewed. My back is probably 98% better…

  • Sunday evenings sneak up on you!

    I realized just now that I haven’t been on the computer the entire day. Here it is 715p and I finally get a moment to breathe. My back is so much better. I woke up today and could move almost pain free. I of course took full advantage of that and I am worried that…

  • Here’s to getting back at it

  • No Sweet Surprise in my book

    Has anyone see a commercial or visited this site: sweetsurprise.com? It’s all about high fructose corn syrup and how it has not been proven to be any more linked to obesity rates than sugar and both are similarly metabolized by the body. Ok, first off – i love how the Corn Refiners Association is behind…

  • I am losing patience…

    So i am going to be honest here — being so incapacitated is getting me depressed. I know it’s only been 3 days but when you are someone who is used to being so active — not being able to move around has a lot of power to affect you mood. I am going to…

  • Why Train With A Heart Rate Monitor

    Why Train With A Heart Rate Monitor – New To Polar – Training With Polar – Polar Electro – USA. I have mentioned before that I love my Polar fitness monitor. It’s not one of those super fancy ones but it’s not a cheap one either. Someone asked me the other day why I wear…
