At a speakers conference a couple years ago I was introduced to Chia. The only thing I could think of was those Chia Pet commercials… and quietly laugh a little. The speaker, she was intent on sharing her love of chia and… well on us all trying a bit. So, I did and it was, well……

Back in the Groove
We’re getting back in the groove. The done with the holidays, normal life groove. There are some people who workout as just a normal part of their life. I’m not exactly that person. It requires thought, planning and a goal. In the past, that goal was pretty superficial and a lot about my closet. Having my…
Staying Fit Over the Holidays
I see these posts all over this time of year and they’re fantastic reminders. Reminders to keep the routine when there’s much to do. Reminders to have some modicum of self control when it’s easier not to. Reminders that you always feel better after some physical activity, no matter how small. Reminders that amid the…
Mr. Miyagi Fitness
If you’ve read my blog for a while, you know I subscribe to the Mr. Miyagi approach to fitness. While there are jobs around the house you definitely want to hire a pro to take care of, there are many other DYI projects that will get you off the couch. Our neighbors laugh at us….
A New Yoga Class
Training for this half, Yoga is my go-to cross training. I love Yoga. It can be so hard to be a beginner at yoga. First, a yoga studio definition of beginner (or most studios) is much different from say an adult ed or gym version of beginner. This is my humble opinion, not being a yoga expert…

He started overweight with medical issues and successfully juiced across the US losing much of himself and juicing his…
Reaching My Goal
For about the past year or so, I’ve been working on eating better, getting stronger and dropping a few pounds. Doing it without major lifestyle changes, just tweaking things a little bit. I know, I could have gone all in, but there were a number of other changes going on at the same time so…
22 hours & 7 Tons of Stone
You may say insanity… I say “OMG, 22 hours and 7 tons of stone…. We Did It!” We.Certainly.Did. Thankfully the humidity let up a bit. Think I reached my limit on the whole “Productive Exercise” craze. We had been putting off some landscaping for the past few years. Mostly because we are pretty avid DIYers…
Loving the Run
Have I mentioned lately that running is no fun? Here’s the thing, it gives me 48 hours of feeling great. So for 30-60 minutes of ugh I get 2 days of love, not bad. There’s this dialog that goes on in my brain before a run that goes something like… Really, we’re going to…
Loving the Teak
Yup, this post is really classified under Health, Tips & Weight Loss. Really. Each day is full of choices. To meet my goal of getting stronger & fitter, it’s not about a gym membership, it’s about everyday things we can do to get healthier. We’re almost wrapped on the landscaping we started. What I view…
