Dara Torres: Mom Like Us
I just watched a guy on NBC Nightly News say this about Dara Torres making the Olympic Team: "She's 41; she's a mom; what is she doing sweating in the Olympics?" I think all moms--especially those of us over a certain age--should take a moment to lie prostrate in honor of Dara.... Read More »

Remember the Presidential Fitness Challenge?
Due to unforeseen circumstances (or as my kids describe it: the toilet exploded) we've been refugees--staying in hotels and nearly a week at my in-laws cabin) My workouts have been nearly non-existant as I've explained at Mama Sweat. In an effort to do something, I made myself do a few pull... Read More »

Bribery
Ever want to go to the gym but have one or more children protest? "I don't WANT to go to the gym!" My daughter said from her carseat as we were en route. I sort of sprang it on them because I was sure this was the reaction I would get. I knew she wanted to get back home to play with... Read More »

A Down Day
Yesterday afternoon's slump was beyond the comfort of a bowl of ice cream (I admit to being an emotional eater).

New Kickboxing Pants Needed
Here's a snippet from my blog that I posted a few days ago. I can't possibly be the only woman whose had this problem. Right? You tell me:Last night was the girls' last swim lesson, which meant I didn't know when I'd be able to return to my beloved Strike class. I wanted to make... Read More »

Buh Bye Stroller
We had a massive neighborhood garage sale this weekend. After spending the last five years in acquisition mode, this year began the purge phase. It was rather difficult letting go of the tiny plastic kitchen I bought for the twins when they were learning how to pull up. Even at 9-months-old they... Read More »

Balancing Motherhood and Fitness
I'm new to blogging but not new to Yahoo, so it's been fun surfing on Shine! I've just started blogging about "finding fitness in the chaos of motherhood," and looking around for other sites that combine fitness and parenting (rare) so I'm wondering if there are other moms...
