Did any of you catch Zesty’s awesome presentation on Blogging 101 either at the summit or watching it online? You can check it out here if you missed it. I listened to about 4 sessions on Saturday afternoon while I worked. It was so fun! This afternoon I am going to talk a bit about [...]

Merry Christmas EVE!!! I snuck in a quick but intense 20 min treadmill hill workout early this morning to start the holiday off on the right foot. It’s been rush, rush, rush all morning!   Let’s begin: You may recall, last year I wrote my 9 in 2009. It is simply a list of 9 [...]

Happy Friday! Wow this week has flown by! This morning I was so excited to try out my new Booty Camp Fitness DVD. I started with the Cardio Quickie which was 19 mins plus a 5 min warm up and 5 min cool down. Then I did the BOOTY BOOSTER afterwards. I didn’t know this, [...]
