Recently, Gwyneth Paltrow, said in her weekly GOOP newsletter that she “had the beginning stages of osteopenia.”  Osteopenia is the thinning of bone mass considered by many doctors to be a precursor to osteoporosis.  (Thank you Google.)  One of the causes is a lack of vitamin D and Dr. Lipman finishes off Gwyneth’s (yes we […]

(Source) Hope you had a great weekend and for those who are mothers a fantastic Mother’s Day.  I bought myself a little present that I’ll tell you about later this week   but first I want to finish my Climbing the Ladder:  Fun Workout Tools series. Here are links to the earlier posts if you want […]

If you are like me you don’t have hours to workout every day.  For the last year most of  my strength workouts have lasted 40-60 minutes.  Well I’ve decided to shave some of the time off by  pushing myself a little harder in less time by using the clock for motivation.  I feel like I […]

Shoulders are one of my favorite body parts.  I love the way sculpted shoulders look in tank tops and halter tops.  For me this has been and still is one of the hardest body parts to build.  The last few months I’ve been using Wednesdays to focus on my shoulders. This is what I  know […]

My mom sent me this article today.  Read it, it’s cool! Yet another reason to lift weights and build muscle.  Nooooo…not so you can paraglide, silly, so you body is better able to withstand trauma in the event of an accident. Her life-saving-abs are not the only thing that strikes me.  She is 47 and […]

I love my garage gym.  Mostly because I can dance like a fool without anyone watching but the spiders.  I’m feeling better today than last week.  Hal-le-lu-jah. Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  The monster from Present Monster Syndrome has retreated to the closet.  Hopefully she stays there. As I’ve said before, I like to do the same workouts for 3 […]

It’s probably Tuesday for most of you now so Happy St. Patrick’s Day.  Give your hands a workout and pinch lots of people.   Monday was crazy busy for me.  I had a callback for a Sprint commercial I auditioned for last week and we had taekwondo in the evening.  Well for me that’s crazy […]

Hope you had a good President’s Day weekend.  We went to the snow and I threw about 5000 snowballs and trekked up a hillside carrying an inner tube.  I hope I burned a lot of calories because I consumed a lot of calories. Oooops.  Whenever I could I pretended like I was a some sort […]

Happy Monday friends.  Hope you had a great weekend.  I struggled with my food all weekend.  Today I’m getting back on track and taking it one meal at a time.  Mini-goals.  So far so good.  If I get past the 3 pm CRAZY carb cravings I’ll be good until after dinner.  Then I’ll just one […]

“I’ll huff and puff and I’ll blow your house down.” So the wolf huffed and he puffed.  And he puffed and he huffed but he could not blow the house down. Why? Because it was a house of bricks set on a good foundation. Or maybe the wolf smoked 2 packs a day and didn’t […]
