Whenever I pass by a Crunch gym everyone seems to be already fabulous and having a great time. Maybe it’s because this sounds like the best gym EVER. Every Tuesday this summer you can stop in to any of their locations from 6-9pm and work out to live music and DJs. OR you can just mingle and see what the gym is all about and scope out some hotties. You can even take a group class…for free. It says open for “any and all to workout”, which I take to mean free pass yo! I guess you would have to actually …read more

Okay, I’ll admit it: I’m in a bit of a slump, but nothing major. Here’s the story: I just switched from NY to VT on my way to Miami. Putting my stuff in storage was a mess, I have animals that freak out when we do anything different, and I have a very tight schedule. So when I moved back, I ran into a tight spot: I have no gym to speak of, and while I had thought that the woods would be a great place to exercise, I sort of forgot what it’s like to crash through the woods: …read more

Since the weather is so nice right now, I keep trying to come up with things that we can do outside that also involve some type of physical activity.

Yesterday marked the completion of my 30 day Shred Challenge and I wanted to share the results with you all. I am so happy about all the people who decided to join in with me. I have to tell you that it made me feel like I had support. So the stats. Total weight loss…I have no idea. I lost track because of the flu and a few of those lost pounds can be attributed to illness. Anyway I try not to be concerned with the number on the scale since it’s about how I feel and how my clothes …read more

My 30 days of the 30 Day Shred Challenge are almost up and I’m pretty excited. I’ve had to extend it since I was ill but now I can an end in site. I will be posting results next week and I am really excited about my progress. We”ll keep doing updates until everyone has finished their 30 Days. I’ve only been an intermittent fan of The Biggest Loser but doing this challenge really gives me some perspective on what the contestants go through. Imagine what several hours every day for months of intensive Jillian Michael’s torture could do for …read more

Unfortunately I’m still battling the neverending flu but I’m trying to hang in there. How is everyone doing on the 30 Day Challenge? I haven’t been able to do it more than twice in the last week and a half so I’m feeling pretty bad about that but what can you do? I wanted to share a recipe with you however that I found to be energizing and filling. I love smoothies because I hate making breakfast so this is a good way to get something in my stomach with little effort. I just used things I had on hand and …read more
