Staying healthy through the fall (and a $500 giveaway!)

Fall, Fall, glorious Fall! So what if I had to go all the way up to Yosemite to find this yellow leaf and the Phoenix temperatures are still in the 90s during the day? At least we are starting to have a bit of coolness at night. In fact, when the sun goes down, 83 degrees feels almost chilly. Almost. With the oppressive summer heat fading away, I see more…

How to Heal a Diastasis the RIGHT way

  UPDATE: Diastasis expert Wendy Powell answers all of your questions from the comment section here.  Remember back in June when I posted about being so over my diastasis?  Well, it’s still there.  Mostly because I didn’t do the exercises I said I was going to do.  Yep, even fitness professionals get lazy sometimes.

Get off your butt, and have a great Friday!

A happy run and a colorful lunch

Guess whose hip held up for a 20-minute run today?? This girl’s! A 20-minute run might not sound like much to you fitness fanatics, but it was huge for me!  After hurting my hip last fall, then my back, then my hip again, I wasn’t sure when or if I would ever run again.  On Tuesday, I was finishing up my workout when the Eminem song “‘Till I Collapse” came…

Sweating for Sewing Machines

Ever since my celiac diagnosis last August, I have been planning a comeback race.  After feeling weak and tired for so long, I couldn’t wait to start training for an event.  Any kind of event that would show the return of my strength, the return back to normal.  First I planned to do an Urbanathalon 5k in the fall, but my back went out.  I thought I could at least…
