Just 8 Weeks to the New Year

With just two months left in the year, what is your plan to combat the stressors, the usual end of year “too much to do,” trying-to-fit-it-all-in-and-not-enough-time-for-fitness?

Regular or Diet?

Is yours diet or regular? Today I attended (and was a co-hostess) of a baby shower. Of course we had the classic 7-Up and sherbet beverage. With some soda left over after the get-together I was offered a 2-liter bottle. I initially accepted then recoiled when I realized I was about to take “regular”

Fitness in your room when you travel. When you travel what do you look for in a hotel? Of course, most people will choose price and/or hotel chain if they have a preferred guest program.
