  • Carol does Nutrisystem: Week 1

    Number of comments: 0

    The food came in two boxes -- I felt pity for the Fedex courier who had to bring them up two flights of stairs. One box, shelf-stable breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks, the other a large foam cooler filled with frozen meals and snacks, and most fun of all, DRY [...]

    Had this one on a Rock My Run mix -- The Sun Run. Hubs and I hit the gym this afternoon, since he's taking the week off. It's one of those songs that lends itself to big bursts of energy.

  • What, no crabcakes? (My Fitbloggin' recap)

    Number of comments: 2
    Because there may be some readers who aren’t bloggers, I’ll keep my tale of Fitbloggin’ short and sweet.

    I hit the ground running with a pre-conference tour of McCormick’s kitchens just outside Baltimore. My plane got in late, so I joined the dozens of other Fitbloggin’ attendees after they enjoyed a fantastic-sounding lunch, seasoned of [...]

    Can't believe I haven't featured this song yet! Mid-'90s New Jack Swing, which would work for a treadmill workout or simply dancing in your living room.

    Greetings from 9 p.m., otherwise known as The Danger Zone.

    Last week you met the Friendly Polar Bear and this is when he starts stirring.

    Shhhh ... you don't want to wake him.

    I was able to avoid the kitchen twice last week, but twice isn't enough [...]

  • Do not feed the bear!

    Damn you, Chilly Willy! Always the instigator.
    I refer to my nighttime kitchen cravings as feeling like an angry bear is taking over. I could be sitting in the living room with the family, watching, oh let’s say baseball (because it’s always baseball), when I spring up off my chair and head [...]
  • Tunes for Tuesday, Gangnam Style, by Psy

    Number of comments: 0
    I can only describe this guy as South Korea's Pitbull. This song has taken off all over the world and has everyone dancing Gangnam Style -- even my bloggy friend Cassie Ho of Blogilates, who choreographed a dance workout to it.

    And here's Cassie's dance workout to the song:

  • I’m a spice girl for Fitbloggin’

    Number of comments: 0
    This will be my third year attending Fitbloggin’ – a great get-together for healthy-living bloggers that takes place every year in Baltimore, one of my favorite cities.

    Know what else is based in Baltimore? The Orioles! (Sorry, it’s September, and I have baseball on the brain.)

    Besides great baseball, McCormick headquarters is near there, too (kinda [...]

  • Help for your summer-singed hair (and a shot at a spa gift)

    Number of comments: 0

    With age comes the wisdom that you don’t have to spend $20 a bottle on salon hair products when there are some really effective products right at the grocery store for a lot less, especially Dove hair-care products. They’re very well priced, smell great and work just as well as [...]

  • Tunes for Tuesday: Lessons in Love, by Kaskade, feat. Neon Trees

    Number of comments: 0
    Choosing this song today because it's one of Jillian Michaels' current workout faves, and Jillian announced this morning that she's returning to The Biggest Loser for season 14. Cool, huh? Season 14 will tackle childhood obesity with a special teen segment. You can read more about it at my Examiner' [...]
