See. Lisa. Run. (not well, but run!)

Well, it's the two minutes and forty four seconds you've all been waiting for!  Yep, the vlog on my Smooth Fitness treadmill.  Once again, I apologize for the crumminess of my camera quality.  Wouldn't you know, my battery was dead from my LAST vlog, but it's a good thing that I checked it, because I'd hate to take off to NYC with a dead battery in my camera, right? Which reminds I have to check out the list of what NOT to bring on a Enjoy my very, very short vlog! After watching, I realize I need to relax more…

Commit to Fit with Subway and Jared!

Have you heard the news?  I-am-going-to-New-York-City!  NEW YORK CITY?? (Ok, yeah, that was my best Pace Picante Sauce impression!) Yes, New York City!  I am super stoked! Leah, Rachel, and I have been invited to join Jared Fogle (Yep, Subway Jared!) in Central Park on Tuesday morning during one of his marathon training sessions. While we're running a mile and a half with him, we're going to be followed by the media, have our own paparazzi, and all that really cool jazz.  Ok, so I don't know about the paparazzi, but I am expecting a red carpet in my driveway…

Community Coffee Review/Giveaway w/ History Lesson!

I have two favorite brands of coffee.  Every morning, depending on my daily routine or my mood, I trade off between the two brands. Both brands I love, because they are very unique from other brands.  Today, I will talk about Community Coffee. First of all, scoot on over to your two favorite social media outlets and link up with them! Facebook: Twitter: I have always been a huge fan of Community Coffee.  When I say always, I mean it.  I remember growing up and my daddy would talk about how he just loved that coffee with that Chicory flavor…

I've just been tagged! You're next!

Earlier today (possibly even yesterday) I was tagged!  Yep, you've got it!  You know the ol' emails we used to do where you'd answer all the questions, and pass them on to people and say "oh I think so and so will reply!"  You got it!  Mark from Fatophobia thought highly enough of me that he tagged me.  He had some pretty darn good questions, I might add!  not so much!    Enjoy my answers, and if you happen to be tagged at the bottom, well, I expect a linkup! Yay! 1. If you could choose one movie to watch daily…

Update on Kylie’s Back Pains

For about two and a half weeks now, Kylie (my 11 year old) has been having tremendous neck pain and back pain.  She can't remember a definitive starting point, but she does know - all too well - that she's having trouble sleeping, sitting, standing, doing school work, laying, watching a movie, swimming, walking, riding in a car, and so on and so forth. The pain is not localized, yet it travels around her back.   Kinda see where we're stumped? We called the chiropractor (who frequents the Children's Carousel, where I work), and she told us that she really…

Why do we tend to overeat?

I have a big problem with portion control. Even though I eat healthy foods, it's NOT cool to overeat!  I've never really been asked WHY until yesterday. I spoke with Cynthia Pasquella, a very sweet and wonderful nutritionist, yesterday, and one of the things I told her is that I have a problem with portion control.  I don't know if I was expecting her to just jump right in and say, "well, what you need to do is xyz," but she didn't.  Not even close. You know what's cool about her?  She actually let me work out my OWN problem…
