Make Me Stronger Workout
This morning I woke up and felt good. Â Had good energy and sipped on water prior to this workout. Â It is intense because my trainer incorporated a bunch of trisets and combinations that kept the body working and guessing. Â On my way home I passed my husband on the way to the gym - he thought he would still catch me there to "smoke me" as he ...

Homemade Stir Fry
In support of this week's Femme Fitale challenge I made a stir fry meal for myself and family. Stir fries are great because they are quick, easy and delicious. I bought the veggie precut at Wegmans (I love that grocery store) and added my own protein (chicken breast cut in 1-inch pieces) and sauce (low sodium of course) and voila...a filling ...
Exercising While on Vacation
When people think of vacation they think of the great outdoors, exotic location, big adventures, rest, and relaxation. Â I know I do. Â Last year my hubby and I went on a cruise and I brought my running gear and was very proud of myself. Â I actually worked out on the treadmill for 30 minutes a day.
This year we are planning our next vacation ...
