Oh, Gaiam TV, where have you been all my life? Don’t worry, you don’t have to answer that. We’ve found each other now and that’s all that matters. Okay, before this post starts to sound weird (I hope we’re not at that point already?), let me explain: I’ve had the chance to try out Gaiam TV for a couple of [...]

I discovered something about myself this past weekend. Something kinda magical, actually. I might be a grandmother of 9…. BUT I LIKE BEING A PRINCESS! This Royal Transformation came about as many modern Royal Dreams do… through the world of Disney. It began when I was invited to the 2012 Princess Half Marathon Meet-Up, where princesses (and yes, princes) gather [...]

Looking for some fabulous fitness maternity wear? Check out Zulily’s sale today: For Two Fitness In 2010, the CEO of For Two Fitness became pregnant for the first time and was faced with the harsh realization that there was a tremendous lack of stylish maternity active wear.

I feel like I’ve been one big fitness FAIL this week. I know I should probably cut myself some slack, given that we just purchased a house on Monday and began doing renovations… but I only got one workout in all week, and, well… that’s not going to cut it if I’m going to be a fit bride.

I’ve never needed it more in my life. I’m committing myself… and I’m putting it out there! So stay on me! Vera Sweeney… are you with me? xo

It seems that on this past Saturday, October 22nd, everything aligned just perfectly for my husband Barry and me to run in a race together for the first time ever. That would be ever. Barry never considered himself a runner.  And I began running just 3 years ago. Barry would become my biggest fan… making breakfast for me before my [...]

There’s nothing better than getting up to a spectacular Autumn early morning chill, and ribbons and ribbons of pinks, purples, blues and golds painting the sky… And meeting Jane for a spectacular Autumn early morning chill of a bike ride… The beauty of the day, my daughter, our wherever-we-end-up destination are gifts that I treasure… !      

Last Friday I was visiting my Mom as she recuperated from surgery.  She was anxious to get up and to walk around… stretch her legs and feel her body in motion.  My Mom has always been a swirl of energy! My Mom was attached to about a million or so tubes of various lengths and needed a nurse for assistance [...]

I remember the first day Barry and I headed outside to begin our C25K Training Program.  It was such a re-start for me and a START-START for Barry. But as with all starts, it is as crazy hard as it is crazy inspiring. I remember how the thought of running 60 consecutive seconds seemed an eternity to Barry… and to [...]
