They say persistence and hard work pay off and I have to agree. I’ve been a lover of interval workouts for about a year now and I’m in better shape today than I have been in a very long time. Possibly ever. I’m running faster, have definition and fallen in love with these hard, fast [...]
Blueberry/Kale Smoothie by veamason on Polyvore When I’m feeling bloated or just want a feel good drink in the morning that breaks from the normal protein shake combinations I have created I make this blueberry kale smoothie that is a slight deviation from the Fit Sugar Flat Belly Smoothie.
I try not to make New Year’s resolutions because the idea just makes me cranky. Yet, there is always something lurking in the back of my mind that I want to accomplish or try for during the year. This year my secret goal was “Michelle Obama” arms. After seeing the changes in my back and arms from a [...]
Spring break last week provided me with more opportunities to work out than I imagined. I was halfway through the week and realized, “I’ve worked out every day! YES!” And I rocked that routine mixing it up with ME, running and weights everyday but Sunday when we traveled. I typically don’t go to the gym [...]

I’m not one to post recipes but every once in a while I have something to share. As part of my fit parent routine I have incorporated this protein shake into my weekly menu. It’s fast, easy and tastes great. Even better, it involves Autocrat Coffee Milk Syrup. Yum! Ingredients (Place everything in the blender.) 1 [...]
A break from the norm. That’s what I needed something fierce. Weeks of doctor appointments, grieving and trying to find a way to normal resulted in me wondering if I was even prepared to run my second half-marathon. The first one was good but rough. Could I do it again with less training? Could I [...]
Sunday morning dawned early with a soft knock at my front door. It was six a.m. and my good friend was there to go on my longest and last training run for the Hershey Half-Marathon. Ten miles stretched out before us in all manner of hills, paths, gravel roads and winding streets. The air had [...]
