Ok, so I really didn’t eat a donut. Thought you had me there for a second, huh? But, what I ate tasted even better. This week I was treated to a sweet, juicy, delicious (and distinctly donut-shaped) variety of peach called the Saturn peach. These little babies can be tricky to find, but boy are … Continue reading I Ate A Donut!

Cardio or Lifting Weights?
Since the start of the fitness craze in the 70s and 80s a hot debate has raged. What is a better workout?

Money in Your Pocket
This intrigues me...there are now websites designed to help you keep track of your exercise habits and reward you (in some cases monetarily) for doing what you set out to do. When we first seek to get (back) in shape starting is the hardest thing. We can't believe how out of shape we are and … Continue reading Money in Your Pocket
