Isn’t part of enjoying any activity having cool stuff that can make it more fun? Well, in the case of working out, that cool stuff includes accessories...like cute, colorful weights. Am I right? So in the name of helping you all, I recently bought these arm weights called Tone-y-Bands , to test drive them and see if they’re really worth it (and yes, I paid ...

People, do you give a lot of thought to the kind of water you drink? I mean, are you someone where you’re just glad that you actually drank a decent amount of water each day, or are you very particular about the brand or type of water you drink? It may not be something you’ve really thought all that much about, but I have been – all because of a growing wate...

So, many of you know that back in the fall, I earnestly started incorporating regular exercise into my routine. And it hasn't been easy. I hate exercising. I've pretty much always hated exercising. But you know what I hate more? My flabby stomach and arms. I don't need a six pack, believe me, but I wouldn't mind being more toned and seeing some definit...

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re very much like me – want to get in shape, want to try and make some healthy changes, but aren’t really willing (or able) to cut out every single vice.

Alright, it’s been almost 6 weeks since our very first training session, and I’m still in it. That’s pretty huge, people. Not only am I still in it, but I’m still (kind of sort of) having fun with it, and still proactively looking for new ways to do it. Thus bringing my daughter with me as my accountability partner (above). So fa...

Then you and I should be BFFs. Because I hate it. I mean, I love all the accoutrements - the cute leggings (hello? picture above?), fun sneakers, witty t-shirts and all that stuff, I just really dislike the actual exercising part. This is not new. I've pretty much been like this my whole life. I remember in college having friends that began going to th...
