It’s March 24, which means while the forecast doesn’t indicate it’s actually spring, the calendar does. And after spring comes the most wonderful time of the year…SUMMER. It’s about this time (or sooner) when all those New Year’s Resolutioners slack … Continue reading
#MotivationalMondays- Fill In The Blanks With Planks
Do you remember that fill in the blank game called Mad Libs? You know, the one where you try and make the story up yourself by inserting your own verbs, nouns, and adjectives? I still own several blank Mad Libs … Continue reading

It’s 9AM. I’m barely awake, stumbling to shut off my fifth snooze alarm, and my bladder is about to burst. Just as I’m peeing, I notice that bottomless growl coming from my stomach. Yes, it is indeed time for a … Continue reading
#MotivationalMondays- Symbiosis In The Gym
Of all the grade school isms, itis’s, and sis’s I learned of, the one that most fascinated me was the process of symbiosis. Clownfish and sea anemones? Bees and pollen? Antelope and birds? What do they have in common? A … Continue reading

#MotivationalMondays- I Lift Things Up & Put Them Down
That Planet Fitness commercial always makes me stop dead in my tracks whenever it’s played. It’s clever nod to Arnold Schwarzy-poo combined with a genuine message which pleases all of us non-meatheads. (because the actual meatheads never realize how obnoxious … Continue reading

#MotivationalMondays- Three’s A Charm
