  • Childhood Obesity Awareness Month: The Hispanic Community

    I want to start off by sharing with you what I saw on the news this AM: The Donut Burger! I honestly have no words. Do we really think that this what America needs? And for that extra marketing push – let’s aim it at football fans. I am all about personal responsibility but we do…

  • Balance is Part of the Obesity Problem

    It’s MONDAY! Woot! Woot!  This time of year in the DC area is as close to perfect as you can get — the leaves are starting to change, the weather is crisp and cool. This seasonal change makes me want to declutter, and get ready for the long winter’s nap. Oh wait, we don’t get…

  • Nutrition, Change and More

    A much needed rest day for me. I hadn’t planned on taking one but when that alarm went off, I knew it was in the cards. Tomorrow, I kickoff the third Whole Life Challenge at CrossFit Impavidus and I am part of the group that is going to focus on doing what I need to…

You can’t dispute all of the studies and once you go through them…

  • Labor Day Running

    Running Makes the Heart Go Faster Had a great morning coaching a special class at 9a. It was a last minute substitution and it was a hero workout — Griff. The group had to run backwards which always trips people up. They did a great job and after seeing them finish, I kinda wished I had…

  • Take Me Out to the Ball Game

    Blue Moon at Nationals Stadium It was indeed a blue moon last night –and I had a prime photo taking spot, at the Washington Nationals game! Scott secured two tickets from a friend and then last minute, was able to snag two more from a co-worker who wasn’t able to go. All four of us…

  • Checking Off My Fitness To Do List

    One Day at a Time I gotta say things are certainly getting better as we get closer to the end of the week. Sometimes I just need to let it out into the universe –all the stress, emotion and anger — and maybe it releases some positive energy and allows me to break through stuff…
