So, I’m Wearing My Pink Ribbon
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!October is breast cancer awareness month and everywhere you turn you are seeing Pink ribbons. Yet with all the awareness breast cancer receives it is still one of the top killers of women ages 20-59. It been 20 years since the first pink ribbon appeared and in that time the number of women who have died of breast cancer has not been significantly reduced. When we see the pink ribbon or hear about a program to support breast cancer us ladies are more likely to give. We give because breast cancer is not something we’d like to have or we know someone who has affected by breast cancer....

For as long as I can remember I’ve had the same female idols. Vanessa Williams — I remember when she was the first black Miss America I thought she was STUNNING!!Then when inappropriate pics appeared and she gave up her crown, she did with style and grace. Now let’s fast forward to 2012 and she is still singing and dancing and still STUNNING! Jennifer Garner — I just love her. She never loses her small town values. Madonna — She’s had and her ups and downs, but she can still rock the house. She is a consummate performer. Madonna knows how to deliver a show. Demi Moore — For years she was the ultimate women, in 2003 when come...
Read MoreFeeling The Fear
And doing it any way. I read this book a few years ago and it still sticks with me. This week I felt as though I jumped off a high cliff. I’m in the process of making some serious changes as to how I run my business and decided to take on a business coach. I’ve known for a few years that at some point I would need to do it, but the time is now to bite the bullet. I pulled up my big girl panties and LEAPED! Is there fear that is holding you back. Is there something that you have been thinking about know you should do, but just haven’t taken the steps to make it happen? Let me tell you. I’m nervous, excited and terrified all at the same...
Read MoreCount down to Women’s Tri Fitness
I just landed in Vegas, the temperature is a balmy 101. I know that say its a dry heat, but it still hotter than Hades out there, I’m not complaining because I do love the heat. Actually as I sit here and type I’m wearing a long sleeve shirt and a jacket as the hotel likes to keep it like Antarctica. But I digress… So the actual competition doesn’t start until tomorrow, but today was weigh in for the bench press.. Which in my mind is the scariest part of this whole competition, you need to bench press 60% of your body weight for 50 reps, my goal weight to lift is 75 pds. I got on the scale in my house and my unofficial weight had me 4 pounds...
Read MoreThe Unofficial Start of Summer
Memorial Day weekend is upon us and we all have visions of summer vacations dancing in our head. Already this weekend, I’ve heard so what are your summer vacation plans. Which is funny because this morning I was watching one of my favorite shows Sunday Morning on CBS and they were discussing the concept of vacation. We all know as Americans vacations is a dirty word, in fact in these tough economic times how many of you have forgone your vacations so that it wouldn’t look like you weren’t a hard worker. I’m SO guilty of that. Instead of taking a 1 full week, I’ll take a long weekend so that I won’t miss THAT much work, but guess what...
Read MoreGet Happy Day 2
Today is my 2nd day of the get happy challenge. This week, I am to find 3 things to be happy about each day. At first I thought how simple is that, well not so simple. It really forces you to really think about your day versus just letting life happen around you. As I write this, and I am thinking about my day starting when my alarm clock went out at 5:00am until I got of the bus and started walking home. My 3 happy things: I was able to do 5 pull ups PAIN FREE!!! You see, I suffered an elbow injury back in October and its been slow to heal or I’ve just be impatient. Okay I have been impatient! Until today, I haven’t been able to do any pulling exercises...
