  • I am training for my 2nd half marathon and have found, you have to stick with your training schedule! You can adjust the days you do it (i.e long run days are normally Saturday but if Thursday work then change it to that) but always get in your runs weekly. As for eating, lots of whole wheat and fruits/veggies are great…
  • I am a huge fan, but definitely in moderation. I have it on toast, crackers...if you want to splurge you can make nutella cookies or even a nutella pizza (think pizza dough with nutella and chocolate chips lol)! Definitely a splurge but VERY yummy. I began really loving it when I started using Giada De Laurentiis'…
  • I had super long blonde hair until I was around 25 years old (I will be 34 next month). At that point I realized I was sick of hiding behind my hair, so I slowly began cutting it. I have had super short hair for the past 5 years and have never felt more sexy! :-) I find that people that say "men only like long hair" are so…

  • Did my first half last November, and am in week 10 of 22 weeks of marathon training for my first marathon this November (Thunder Road in Charlotte NC). I have been running since 2009 and have found that my must haves are: 1. BODY GLIDE!! I use the stick version plus the liquid powder version...can't live without it! 2.…
  • I just started Insanity yesterday, but have a friend who has been doing it almost the 60 days. While she hasn't lost that many lbs, the inches she has lost is AMAZING!! Also, a lot of people think that muscle weights more than fat, which is incorrect. Actually fat and muscle weight the same but muscles are denser so that…
  • Congrats!! Yes, I find that calorie counting and exercising can make the pounds literally melt off! Best of luck and keep up the good work :-)
  • I feel your pain *sigh*...I find the only jeans that fit my curves are Vigoss or American Eagle. I also ONLY buy denim with stretch in them b/c then I can get the jeans to fit my waist and booty haha~ Good luck!! :happy:
