The S word is about to slip out. Swimsuit. And there’s more…Sleeveless, Shorts…Instead of getting seriously stressed, focus on a good S-word: Spring. Spring is the official preseason. Our chance to shape up before the regular season gets underway. I’ve got some stress free tips to get you out of your winter sweater and into something sleeveless just in time for summer.

We've moved the clocks ahead, and daylight is hanging around longer, so why stay in the dark gym or our dreary living room? It's finally lovely outside, time to find some exercises outdoors that can put a spring in our step!
*Warm up. Start off with 5 to 10 minutes of walking, light jogging, jumping jacks or jumping rope. Then perform the following series of exercises all the way through and, if you’re up for more, repeat two to three times.

You've heard all about Stroller Strides and the amazing classes they offer, now hear about the Stroller Strides BOB Revolution stroller that makes it a fun and efficient process for moms and dads alike. When I was sent this stroller to try out and review, I was excited because I wanted to finally find a jogging stroller that lived up to the hype.

As moms with little ones we are always on the lookout for ways to exercise that our child can participate in too. There aren't many options for this, but one that I found and have always been interested in is Stoller Strides. A fitness program where you meet up with other moms with the babe in the stroller, socialize, exercise and enjoy the benefits of feeling good and looking great.

On May 1-2, 2010 my friend and fellow Lifetime Mom, Audrey McClelland, will eat, run and blog. She will be participating in a 200 mile long relay race from the Calistoga Beverage Company in Napa Valley, across the Golden Gate Bridge at midnight, to finish on the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. 12-member teams run 36 legs (3 legs per runner, 3-8.9 miles each) through 36 cities. Sounds amazing, no?

Have you ever felt like your muscles turned to mush? Having a baby especially by c-section can wreak havoc on your muscles. From our stomach to kegels we are constantly working to rebuild and restore our muscles. We can sometimes forget the muscle that you don’t see. The most important muscle in our body, our heart. A mother’s heart needs to a little TLC. I know I actually suffered from Peripartum Cardiomyopathy with my pregnancy.

Identify your fitness goal. Why are you exercising? What is your goal- to be fit, to be healthier, to lose dress sizes? Quantify it, break it down, map it out. My fitness goal this time around, now that baby #3 is nearing the 1 year mark, to to get BACK to how FIT I was right before I got pregnant. I want to lose a minimum of ...

Growing up I always loved to journal, sometimes I'd be talking to myself, sometimes it would be letters I would imagine sending to boys, mean girls, teachers, etc. but would never actually send. I chronicled my life, kept track of the ups and downs, created something that I could go back and re-read someday and remember.
Now that I'm concentrating on my health and weight loss and feeling good, I realized that I could journal about this as well. Not just for the emotional roller coaster, but as a practical matter. Here's what I do:

Everyone working on losing weight usually comes to the depressing conclusion that it's time to step on the sale. It's never fun. NEVER. It's rarely a number we like, even if we are fit and feeling good, and even if it is, it will still change later in the day, next week, at that certain time of the month. Our emotions and every mood feel like slaves to that fussy little weighing device. Some people obsessively weight themselves, every day, maybe even more than once a day. I have to wonder -- why all the thought on those devilish numbers?
