Morning,
One of the most popular infomercials out there today is Shawn T’s Hip Hop Abs. The question is, of course…..does it work?
Well, I’m a firm believer in, if something gets you up and moving with consistency, of course it will probably work. But researching it for yourself is a very good idea […]

Morning!
Well, yesterday saw me graduate to using a cane for my hobbling about. I’m pleased to say it appears that I’m healing relatively well, but of course, I’m making darned sure I don’t push it!!
Yesterday was spent being actually quiet (ha ha! Yes! It did happen! I was quiet!) and […]

Morning,
One of the most popular shows on TV these days is the reality show The Biggest Loser - the TV show in which lots of overweight people compete to lose the most weight possible.
It’s quickly developed its own cult following and is extremely popular online. I really have to give credit to the […]

Morning,
Well! 5 days and counting until the slicing and dicing. And it just can’t come a moment too soon!
But in other good news, today is a positive day for me leg-wise; I woke up feeling rather refreshed and capable. After designing my FabFitMom affiliate tutorial, I went off on my […]

Morning,
Yesterday I had my last class in women’s self-defense, and let me tell you, it was utterly eye-opening to the extreme.
I’d like to urge everyone reading (men and women alike!) to take a self-defense class (mine was given by our local police); the common-sense taught on how NOT to become a victim in the […]

Good morning,
Flat abs. Flat abs. Flat ABS!
Turn on any TV infomercial in creation and chances are, you’ll see ads for gizmos that guarantee “flat abs” if you use it religiously (and of course, add in diet and exercise and all those goodies too).
The thing is, however, you already HAVE flat abs. […]

Morning,
Well.
Well well.
Well.
I’m due for surgery now in 12 days (that’s the good news!).
The bad news is that my leg problems are increasing daily. I started my beloved circle walk….and after 100 feet, realized…it would be utter insanity to continue it.
So I came back home.
I’m at a crossroads yet again in my life. […]

Morning,
About 1.5 months ago or so, I experienced an amazing array of emotions during one of my Kendo (Japanese swords) classes. It was the first time I had really sparred, and I had been put face to face with utter, blinding fear. You can read about it over at this post.
Well…yesterday I […]

You know, I really adore my martial arts and self defense classes - the information and knowledge I’m learning there is just plain gold.
I had a very interesting discussion with a sensei yesterday about fighting and how not to panic when the stress levels are high. When you’re in the heat of the […]

Morning,
Today’s workout in the gym was most unique. I had planned on doing my usual 53 minutes on the treadmill (today was supposed to be cardio day!) but fate instructed otherwise. It seems that the massive physical exertions I’ve been doing in self-defense, karate, teaching my kids, etc.etc.etc…..have finally caught up to […]
