Gym Buddy Megan and I having way too much fun this morning doing our pike push-ups (also known as the stick-your-butt-in-the-air-and-wave-it-like-you-just-don’t-care push-ups). Also, my face? This is what happens when Gym Buddy Krista tells me I can’t stick out my tongue in a pic. Great news! I made the evening news on my local NBC …

Behold, my first book signing where nobody yelled at me! 7 p.m. Start time! Only problem is there is exactly one person here. Me. And a whole sea of sad empty chairs arranged around a podium with a microphone. Let me tell you there is no sadder sight than a microphone switched to “on” and …

I’ll be honest: fashion is what really got me into exercise. I can’t wait for unitards to make a comeback! It wasn’t the runs in the dark in the middle of winter at 4 a.m and again at 10 p.m. It wasn’t leaving my son’s hospital bed to go do a high-intensity interval class instead …

Your TV and Computer are Trying to Kill You [Research says you sit too much and your mama dresses you funny.]
