I just have one thing to say...I got it done! This is my first ever official runDisney event. When this Virtual Running Shorts 5k was announced last month, I knew that I had to register. And I wanted in on the very first one! I had planned to run it tomorrow, but with rain in the forecast (again, lol), I decided to just get out there today and do it. I got my Mickey gear on, including earrings and bracelet, and I was ready: The walk/run was a good experience. It was just right temperature-wise outside, and I was able to get in my groove in a ...

My run with Disney…at home update: Disney announces a virtual 5K series!
I enjoy the flexibility of running a virtual race at home. Currently, I've done two virtual 5Ks this year, on my own, that have coincided with the big Half Marathon weekends at Disney. I have named them my "run with Disney...at home" 5Ks, and I have enjoyed being part of the fun there while on my treadmill or in my neighborhood :) Well, there must be plenty of folks like me who do something similar because runDisney has just announced, today on their blog, their new "runDisney Virtual Running Shorts Series" for this summer! They have created this in an effort to ... Continue Reading...
A fresh look: the ExerlyFit app!
{I received this wonderful app for the purposes of use and review. All opinions expressed are my very own..enjoy:)} I am discovering that the best way to stay active and fit is to make it part of your everyday life. Fitness doesn't have to be hard to be effective, and it has to be easy to do so that you can stay consistent. Consistency beats intensity every time. I am more motivated by programs and systems that I can incorporate into my daily routines as I get up in the morning, drive the van, unload the dishwasher, make meals, fold clothes...you get what I'm ...

Run with Disney…at home: part 2!
Last month, I wrote about running a 5k each month, each one coinciding with a runDisney event weekend. (You can read about it here.) Since I can't break away to get to either WDW or Disneyland right now, the next best thing is to run every time my Disney running friends run :) I got my first 5k of the year done on my treadmill during the Star Wars Half Weekend at Disneyland...evidence: Well, February came quickly, and the Princess Half in WDW happened this weekend. Congrats to all my buds who ran because that is such a BIG accomplishment, whether it was a 5k, ... Continue Reading...
Review: FightingFit – a kickboxing inspired workout!
{I received this workout for the purposes of use and review. All opinions and thoughts expressed are surely my own...enjoy! :)} I am always in the market for a good total-body workout. It is a goal of mine to just keep moving, in every age and stage that I am, and I enjoy mixing it up a bit with different styles of exercise. So when I was presented with the opportunity to try out Fighting Fit, I was excited! I enjoy jabbing and punching and kicking in my workouts, and so this kickboxing inspired workout from Seo Kelleher was right up my alley. Seo is an ... Continue Reading...
Fitness is not about your scale
I am not telling you anything new when I say that we are a bit obsessed in this country with weight loss. Don't get me wrong: I am all for getting to and maintaining a healthy weight. I am in the process myself of working in a healthy way to shed some extra pounds. However, we mistakenly equate being fit with weight loss. In fact, on the whole, we say that someone is fit if they are trim. If they have well-defined arms and legs, or a six-pack, we say that they are "fit." In reality, fitness is simply about being healthy and able to do what we need and want to ... Continue Reading...
Continuing #TummyRehab: The Tummy Team’s Core Integrations
As many of you who follow me on this blog know, I just finished some much needed tummy rehab in January of this year. This was due to dealing with a diastasis recti which occurred after the birth of my first child, over 19 years ago. It was such a blessing to be able to do the Tummy Team's Core Foundations online program for some dedicated rehabilitation on my core muscles and functionality. {You can read a review of that program from Kelly Dean here.} So I was excited a few weeks ago when I was given the opportunity to do the follow-up program that Kelly just began ...
