The powers that be in the mommy blogging community proclaimed anyone truly serious about blogging must be on Twitter. So, with much reluctance, I followed the masses to Twitter, like a bird following its flock. This proud little Twitter built a nest for herself there but shortly suffered from empty nest syndrome longing for more followers. I tweet and twirl, [...]

Crank Dat Jump Rope!
Jump on it! It’s time for this week’s 5 Minutes for Fitness!
This week, try skipping an invisible jump rope and attempt a few jumping jacks, too. Like a lot of moms, jumping after squeezing out a few babies a couple of vaginal deliveries may cause you to pee yourself some discomfort. So, while you crank dat jump rope, [...]

I Heart My New Running Shoes!
After resting for 2 days, my knees felt as good as new when I woke up this morning. With that, I eagerly bolted out the door for a short run to test out my new shoes and to see if my knees had really recovered from Sunday’s torture training. To spare my knees, I chose [...]

Grease is the Word!
At the young age of seven, I first saw Grease on the silver screen in 1978. Thirty years later, not even a knotted-up knee would keep me from missing a sing along showing of Grease. So, Sunday evening, Erika, Susie and I made our way to the Tampa Theater to sing “shoo bop shoo wadda” with [...]

Sunday Running Log #4
On Saturday, I finally broke down and bought some new shoes. However, in my desperation for new shoes, I purchased the wrong shoes. Having been spoiled by my Asics Kensei, no shoes can compare, therefore, when I tried on the 2130 Asics, they felt like concrete. I expressed my distaste for the shoes to the [...]

Freaking Fay and Five Minutes for Fitness
Although we managed to avoid Tropical Storm Fay, an allergy attack brought on by the winds of Fay has been unavoidable. Her strong gusts seemed to have stirred up all kinds of nasty bits of dust, pollen and mold which triggered my allergies and I feel like I’ve been run over by a bus.
Despite waking [...]

Organically Groan
Knowing how I strive to live a crunchy lifestyle, a friend sent me a link to a cnn article boasting a recent study of how organic food contains no more nutrients than traditionally grown food.
This study brings up an interesting point. Correct, in a side by side comparison, organically grown food may contain the same nutrients [...]
