'Rump' roast and 'Ham'....LOL!!!!!! 12/10
Hey, I went to a demonstration last week on how to use a new fitness appartus...basically a Smith Machine. Anyhoo, the part that I wanted to share with you guys is the personal trainer told the group most people are weak in the buttocks and hamstrings because we really don't 'use' them enough and certainly don't work them…

Splurges and holiday parties... 12/8
I read one of many ways to help deal with splurges is if you actually know an EVENT is coming...the OFFICE party then exercise an extra 20 min each day up to the event. Now, some may say 20 MINUTES!!!!!!! But if you want to decrease it...I think the idea is to prepare with a little extra exercise each day. Sounds doable! A…

Hey comrades! How was this week? We discussed some issues with snacking wit whole nuts, core exercises no equipment, exercises using the medicine ball and the mentality of what you EAT is your choice and no one shoved down throat so be responsible and write it down.

Buffets and Smorgasbords! Ooooo...la la! 11/28
I read a blog the other day about choices. It was very in your face and raw! some folks were very offended and the writer wrote a long letter about the heated responses she received. The bottom line is I agree with her even though it does sting a little. Take a look at a familiar scene: You are eating with a few friends at…

Do I have to change? ?! This was comfy! 11/23
Hey, I know you have heard this before and lord knows I have read it many times but it can stand repeating! Every 4-6 weeks you should change your workout routine...dare I say workout equipment! If you keep doing the same routine or get on the elliptical all the time...your body becomes familiar and no change will happen.…

Finger-licking good! 11/15
Mindless eating! Oh society is so good at this! We rush to get food (drive-thru) and then rush to eat it (in the car) then wonder why we don't feel satisfied or why we have indigestion and bowel issues! We eat in front of TVs too! Do we even realize what we just ate? So my challenge not just for today but during the…
