Ever since I started running back in May 2009, I listened to music. Whether I was training on a treadmill or taking a jog through my neighborhood, I’d organize my running playlist (most recently on my Sansa Clip), pop in my ear buds, and take off.
But since I started training on a treadmill in...

Back in February, I was feeling as though I had hit a plateau with my post partum weight loss so I decided to join Weight Watchers. It also happened to be when I started my half marathon training. And I quickly learned that those two did not make a healthy combination.

We were thrilled when we were contacted by Jillian Michaels’ PR firm to receive a press copy of Ripped in 30. But as true Jillian Michaels worshipers, both Bill and I had pre-ordered ours! . We did ask if we could do a brief interview with Jillian, asking her some of the questions that...

Now that I’m officially back to a regular running schedule, or as regular as it can be with four kids including a six-week old, I decided to get a bit more serious about my gear. I don’t have time to waste on bad runs, so I wanted to be sure I had everything I...

I’m happy to report that I’ve done quite well in keeping up with my diet adaptations and exercise regimen to help me start toning up and lose my post partum weight.
On the flip side, I’m a little disappointed that I only lost a pound.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised since I started this already...
