January 21, 2010
Thumbnail image for How I Dropped a Size Without Dieting – Boot Camp!

I was athletic my entire life until my pregnancy. I have always fluctuated plus or minus 5 lbs, but post baby I could not for the life of me get rid of the last 10 or so pounds. I don’t weigh myself, but can guess what I weigh by how my pants fit. As long as they fit like their supposed to, I’m cool. La Jolla Girl was not a sleeper. I was a miserable, [...]

Just Dance: A Wii Game You and Your Kids Will Love

January 11, 2010

Over the weekend, I was lucky to attend a Fun, Fit and Guilt Free House Party hosted by Theresa of Rock on Mommies.   House Parties are an awesome new idea (or at least new to me) where sponsors can have people try out whatever cool new products they’re marketing.  House Parties occur across the country all on the same day, and there were about 7500 Fun, Fit and Guilt Free House Parties happening on Jan 9th.  We [...]

EA Sports Active Wrap UP

September 21, 2009

When I first started “practice” blogging, I had just purchased EA Sports Active and was “actively” using it.   I thought I’d write a final post about it since I intended to chronicle my way through the 30 day challenge but life sort of got in the way of that. All in all, I’m very pleased with EA Sports Active as part of my workout routine. The truth is that I get bored doing one [...]

EA Sports Active – Slightly Derailed

June 10, 2009

Ok, well I fully intended to  keep on keeping on with my ersatz EA Sports Active 30 day challenge.  I say ersatz because I decided to workout on all the days the 30 day challenge dictates,  but use the other harder preset workouts.   As I mentioned in a prior post, we’re having our hardwood floors redone due to installer error.  This has been 2 years in the making (I won’t bore you with the details) and [...]

EA Sports Active – Day 3 Was Waaaay Better

June 3, 2009

I scrapped the EA Sports Active 30 day challenge preset workouts (see Day 1 and Day 2) and went for “sports day” preset 30 minute workout at high intensity. It was hard, I could have taken harder, but I did huff and puff way more than the prior 2 days. It also was super fun. My legs will hurt in the morning because there were tons of JUMPING lunges and squats. I need that. I was [...]

EA Sports Active, Day 2 – Should Have Run Instead

June 1, 2009

I woke up with legs slightly sore from EA Sports Active Day 1 workout so that seemed promising. I felt nothing in my arms, but was not surprised given my complaint about the game’s orange band. I REALLY wanted to go running, because I bought a new iPod and have been without one since my daughter trashed my other one. I got it as a refurb on www.apple.com. It’s like brand new and they give [...]
