My blogger friend Laura at Mommy Run Fast is hosting a sugar detox challenge next week. Challening people to give up added sugars for a week. Read her excellent posts: Reasons to Give up Sugar and Tips for Overcoming Sugar Cravings. I think that sugar has a place in a healthy diet. I do think… more
The Social Workout

Hi everyone! Where does the time go? – this week has been crazy busy – my kids were on spring break, I was working and the evenings were full of activities. No time for blogging. I’ve been keeping up with Bootcamp 4 days a week and I’m really starting to love it. The instructor has… more
Best Body Bootcamp Update

Best Body Bootcamp is over. Cue the tears. Ok, maybe not. Cue the motivation to keep up my workouts. I’m so glad I had BBB to get me into a routine these first 2 months of the 2013. By having the structure of Bootcamp right at the perfect timing of going back to work, I’ve… more
Fitness Friday – sharing some great reads and random thoughts

I’ve started and stopped blogs posts 4 different times this week and just can’t seem to complete my thoughts. I feel like I”m busy checking off lots of things on my to do lists, so hopefully blogging will get back up to the top (damn you, real life priorities!) In the meantime, there have been… more
I’ve started and stopped blogs posts 4 different times this week and just can’t seem to complete my thoughts. I feel like I”m busy checking off lots of things on my to do lists, so hopefully blogging will get back up to the top (damn you, real life priorities!)
In the meantime, there have been lots of great things to read in the blogger world, so I thought I’d share today:
MizFit – sharing her wisdom about helping kids to have a healthy body image.
Jody – sharing her thoughts on what happens at the end of a diet.
Lindsay’s List – a guest post from her husband on why muscle is so important and why BMI as a measure by itself is a load of baloney.
Amanda at Run to the Finish – also talking about muscle and body composition (obviously these posts are catching my attention these days).
Robby at Fat Girl v. World – who wrote a fantastic post about National Eating Disorder Awareness week. I really wanted to take her thoughts and write a whole post myself, but that obviously didn’t happen. So, go read her post and become aware about the issues.
LIndsay at the Lean Green Bean – also sharing some fantastic information about National Eating Disorder Week – Her post is titled My Body Doesn’t Make Me Beautiful. A must read!
And along the lines of the National Eating Disorder Awareness Week – have you seen the Seventeen Body Peace Treaty? I love the idea. Go read it and let me know what you think.
A final blog post to share from Miss Zippy – Pulling Back the Curtain – Amanda writes about “Fakebooking” and the tendency for people using social media to put a shiny coat of paint over the bad stuff to make it all look happy before sharing through social media. Love her honesty.
So many great articles – did you get a chance to catch all of these? Maybe my mind will settle down into sharing some of my own thoughts coherently soon.
A quick fitness update:
I’m winding down the last week of my round 2 of Best Body Bootcamp. I can’t say that I’ve been great about getting in the workouts these last two weeks. I’ve been working out consistently, just not always doing Tina’s workouts. And, I’ve noticed a difference in my fitness. I was doing Workout B for week 8 the other night and it just about kicked my butt. The next round of Bootcamp starts April 1st. Don’t be a fool and miss out 
I’m looking forward to doing my final fitness test for Bootcamp and for taking my ‘after’ measurements and pictures.
Starting next week, I’m doing an in-person bootcamp with a bunch of friends of mine. I’m so excited. I purchased a Groupon for an 8 week session and there’s a group of 8 other mom friends of mine who are all going to do it together. I’m really actually excited to compare the workouts with what I’ve done through BBB – I wonder how they’ll compare.
Happy Fitness Friday everyone! Check out Jill’s Fitness Friday Blog Hop.
