Change Makes My Heart Happy

I love Valentine's Day. We don't do the traditional romantic dates and gifts in our house. It is a family celebration that consists of a pink and red dinner and gifts, cards, and treats that magically appear at the door.  By magically I mean someone sneaks out through the garage, rings the doorbell, and then runs back into the house.  It is one of my absolute favorite holidays, so in honor of the day of love I thought I would share with you what I love about running.  Read more >

Making Exercise a Habit

Welcome to this week's Inspiration to Fitness post. I'm proud of myself and all of you for following along with Ashley and I for the last 6 weeks!  Read more >

Let's Mix it up!

Congratulations on sweating through speeding it up last week in the Inspiration to Fitness Track to 5k. Our 5k run is two weeks away. Are you feeling prepared? Excited? Nervous? A little of all three? Perfect. :)  Read more >

I'm Seeing Results!

This weeks post is brought to you by the letter A. A for adaptation. My initial fitness goal for Inspiration to Fitness was to workout six times a week. And well, that's just not working out for me. At least not a "set of exercises for a set amount of time" sort of exercise six times a week. I am still doing the shred and exercising on a REGULAR basis, but now I know that for me and my family, that looks better at five days a week.  More in particular, the days of the week my husband works.  Read more >

I Signed Up for a Race!

Woo-wee, I've gone and done it. I signed up for a race. (In case you didn't catch this, check out my running tips for beginners or slow/clunky runners like me. All came from my marathon runner friend.)  Read more >

Let's Talk Food!

5 weeks down ~wow! I really think what people have told me is true, if you can get through the first 3 weeks, you'll start seeing a little progress and for me, there is nothing more motivating than jeans fitting better, or inches/pounds gone. You can start anytime. Alysa, our heart health trainer will help you get on track with your workouts, and BlogHer's Inspiration to Fitness page is here ~ you can join us on the road to health anytime!  Read more >

The End is Near!

I cannot believe that we are 5 weeks into this. If you add up the total miles I have run in the 5 weeks since the Inspiration to Fitness challenge started, it equals the distance of a marathon. What is even crazier is that if you add up the miles that I have left to run in the next few weeks it equals the distance of a second marathon! I almost positive that I will have run farther in these 8 weeks than I ran in the previous 32 years of my life combined. You probably think I am kidding.  Read more >

I Feel Better & That's What Matters

Hello Inspiration to Fitness - Week 5 Has it been five weeks of fitness already? This has got to be some kind of personal record for me. Especially the time I've spent all aboard the healthy eating train. A train with limited carbs and raw almonds as my most appealing snack option.  Read more >
