Facebook won’t let me post on my wall today so I’m sending up my daily update via my blog. Looking forward to finishing the last of my Xmas shopping today. Was able to pick up my local, pastured Christmas goose yesterday along with my weekly raw milk order. YUM! Chris and I are very sore [...]

I mentioned in Facebook today that Chris and I had an awesome back and tricep workout and was then asked to list what we did.  Now in a pledge of full disclosure, I happen to have some equipment at my disposal that many of you may not.  I own both a BowFlex and a Total [...]

We all have weaker parts of our body, mine happens to be my calve muscles.  It’s not that mine are not strong or well developed (they are) but they do have a tendency to pull.  I watch my mineral content so it’s not that my diet is lacking potassium, magnesium or calcium, it’s just a [...]

Perhaps you are concerned because you are carrying a disproportionate amount of fat around your belly.  This is not natural but [...]

I get asked regularly how to get great abs.  As a woman over 50 who was not only fat but carried a lot of it in my gut, people want to know how I achieved my now flat, fab abs.  So I’ve decided to address the subject and reveal the often overlooked issues that prevent [...]
