Not the most feminine in topics but it’s something that I have seen happen time and time again and I am ready to tackle the issue straight on! Have you ever worked out and felt that panic arise… no literally, you begin to feel as if your last meal is going to rise right on [...]

Wow, I finally made it! For the past 3 weeks when I’ve logged on to write a blog post I have noticed that I’ve ALMOST had 500. It seriously felt as it took forever to get to the 500 mark! But Whoop Whoop, I finally did it! Thanks to all my readers, old and new!  [...]

No, these bars are really going away for good however, there will be limited options! This is because Mars Inc, the maker of such wonderful yummy and unnutritious bars as the Snickers and Twix have announced they will no longer be making candy bars that have more than 250 calories! Wow, shut the front door… [...]

I love holidays but I hate how for holidays like Valentine’s day it really is just another day filled with work and normal day events. Which means I won’t walk through the front door until sometime after 9:00pm tomorrow. And that is the reason I don’t plan on doing a thing on the actually holiday. [...]

So I decided to jump in suite with a lot of my blogger friends this week, taking a minute to share a bit about myself. Not the typical fitness/health stuff but you’ll forgive me, right? Here’s 11 things about me… that you probably didn’t know:  I was born and raised in Charleston, SC but I [...]

I’ve been doing more circuit based workouts lately at the gym in preparation for the 10K I am running next month. Another reason is because my husband was ready for a change and suggested we start doing more of my “boot camp style” workouts, since I know I am better at these than him (he [...]

I was able to convince my husband to watch the Super Bowl with me, which was quite a feat since he only supports the Eagles and since they weren’t there (duh) he wasn’t into the game. But I was, I love the whole event. I have to say I was proud of myself, at the [...]

Curious to know if you’re the only family eating on wings? Well, you’re not! Check out this infographic I put together for you! To be honest I was pretty blown away at the entire thing. I am going to guess there are going to be a lot of hungover and bloated people out there tomorrow. [...]

Super Bowl is apparently the most watched event on television so that means a lot of you are going to be sitting in front of the tube chowing down on finger foods while Tom Brady and Eli Manning fight it out on the field. Though I am not huge fans of either teams I do [...]

Apparently Dr. Oz talked about Matcha not too long ago but since I don’t watch tv I was behind on this. I was reading a magazine a few weeks ago that announced that 1 teaspoon of powdered green tea is equal to drinking 10 cups of normal green tea. At first I was skeptical so [...]

My new mic came in this past week which means I get to start doing my videos again! I love doing these because while it’s one thing to get to write all my fitness thoughts and know-how down it’s another to actually show you! In this episode of the Art of Weight Lifting Fitness & [...]

This past weekend Dan casually looked over at me and suggested we change up our routines to be more circuit/boot camp style. I love these kind of workouts but if I want to do them I normally have to do them with my boot camp or on my own so when he showed interested I [...]

Today I have a special treat… this is an awesome guest blog post from Fit Is The New Black blogger Holly. She is a up and coming writing and a complete fitness freak (us freaks have to stay together) and though we’ve only chatted through email, I like her already! Her blog is very “tell [...]

Personally, I can tell you right now that I don’t. I do not do well with people bossing me around. If some drill sergeant came screaming and spitting in my face I might just scream and spit back… oops. Which is one reason I give so much credit to those serving in the armed forces! [...]

I get asked that ALL the time… and I find out thing similar in 95% of all the workouts sent to me. Watch this quite video I filmed at the end of my workout today to find out how to make your workout better! And afterwards, go visit my Body Fat Blasting Boot Camp so [...]
