I mentioned two weeks ago that I started The New Rules of Weightlifting for Women and hinted that I might be up for showing progress measurements and photos. To be perfectly honest, while I love reading about others progress with exercise regimens, I secretly hate the thought of sharing these things for myself. I’m terrified …

Oh yes! It’s the happiest day of the week! Although I’m sure that has more to do with the end of the work week rather than the fact that it’s Fitness Friday. This week has been a good week for fitness.  Not because the weather has been very cooperative, but because my workouts have been …

Who wouldn’t want to wake up to this on a Monday morning? But first, there was a workout.  Monday is my cross-training day, so cross-training I did.  I have an evening meeting tonight, so the only way to get in a workout before work, required that I get up at 4:30.  That is such a …

As soon as picked up my free mash potatoes from Earth Fare yesterday, I knew just what I wanted to do with them.  Something new…something I’ve never made before… Mashed potato pancakes! Mashed Potato Pancakes (serves 2) 1 1/2 cups leftover mashpotatoes 3/4 cup skim milk 1 1/2 Tbsp. unbleached all purpose flour 1 tsp. …
