  • After Mom’s Day Workout

    I had such a great day yesterday — the weather was perfect and stars were aligned. Scott and the kids let me sleep in — and I woke up to tulips and handmade presents, then Scott & I made a gluten free breakfast pizza together, did some shopping alone, napped, then went out for an…

  • Happy Mother’s Day

    Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful women out there — whether you are a mom to your own kids, someone else’s kids, 4 legged kids — Mom’s are special people who show us the true meaning of love. My kids let me sleep in, and then showered me with love and home made presents,…

Free Comic Book Day is a single day – the first Saturday in May each year – when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE* to anyone who comes into their stores. *Check with…

  • Happy Hours are good for your health

    Part of taking care of yourself is having fun. We all get stuck in the grind of our lives — not really feeling like we have or want to put in the energy to go out and be social. I decided to start focusing on getting out there and meeting people, talking with them about…

  • Chemo Brain in cancer patients lingers

    Chemo Brain May Last 5 Years or More I  had never heard of this foggy brain/chemo brain until Scott got cancer and he started experiencing it. No one had mentioned it in any detail that I remember when we were learning about side effects.  But it’s one of those things that once again highlight that even…

  • The this ‘looks’ easy WOD

    CrossFit has these workouts named after girls — yesterday’s workout at CFI was ‘Angie’. 100 pullups, 100 push ups, 100 squats, 100 situps — no scaling, no splitting them up. Just get through it — I was bummed that yesterday was a rest day. You know you are hooked when you are sad you missed…

  • Strong Is The New Skinny

    Love this – Strong is the New Skinny Intimidated by CrossFit Women? That’s a Good Thing. Strong is the new skinny, and pop culture be damned, because we will no longer be constrained with an impossible ideal. We should approach our fitness experience like any other gym-goer and not be afraid of more. Stepping up the intensity…

  • Going Gluten Free

    Gluten-Free: The Low-Carb of This Decade? The slant of this is annoying — that you shouldn’t go gluten free if you don’t have a health issue bc  you could lose out on vitamins. If you are eating whole, clean foods –that shouldn’t be an issue. “Gluten-free” is fast becoming the “low-carb” diet trend of the…

  • Foodie Pics and Weight loss

    Say Cheese, Nachos! Can Photographing Your Food Help Weight Loss?   Interesting concept, although I don’t think taking a pic of what I am eating will help me — when I realize that most of the apps that estimate calories are wrong. There are so many factors that determine how many calories something is —…
