There are cookies at work
There are cookies at work...like nothing special about them regular old grocery store bakery cookies. In fact I ate two of them earlier this afternoon. It's not the end of the world. But for some reason I really want to eat more. I'll regret it as soon as I do it. So I logged on to my fitness pal instead. Now I'm posting…

Feedback needed - Hands on House Half Marathon
Hello, I've run several half marathons and marathons. I have a small group of folks who have agreed to train and run a half marathon with some guidance. We intended to do the Bird in Hand half together, but in the midst of me getting the info out to everyone, it filled up. I was able to register but the others were not. I…

Lunch Crock Pot
I recently found out about the lunch crock made by Crock Pot. It seems really great but I wanted to see if others had a positive experience before I go crazy and get one. I do not have a public microwave available to me at work and I am debating if I should get a microwave or if the crock would fulfill my needs. I do like…

People don't know me
I was walking through a store the other week and I spotted a former co-worker up ahead, someone I had no interest in running into but I braced myself for an awkward hello. As I passed, I looked right at her (being a decent human being and acknowledging her seemed better than pretending I didn't see her) and she looked at…

What programs have you done/recommend? JMBR, T25?
I have done 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30 by Jillian Michaels and I really like both. I'm looking to start another program. I'm looking at Body Revolution and T25, or maybe there are others that people like and would recommend. I'd like to keep it to 30 minutes because I do this in the morning and will stick with my other…

whats your must have kitchen item?
So in an odd chain of events, I've found myself with a $100 gift card for Williams Sonoma. I've never shopped there, mostly because I'm too cheap for my own good. Whats an item you use in the kitchen that you feel you couldn't live without? I do have a nice digital kitchen scale that use daily and absolutely could not live…

Training for a marathon after finishing half marathon
I completed my first half marathon on Saturday and I am signed up for a full in March along with several other races throughout the year. I'm wondering if there are any apps or training plans that are designed for moving between the half and full. I don't want to start back at the beginning. I'm willing to pay for an app,…
