Review(ish): Sandlot Sluggers

Posted in Exercise, Family, Reviews, tagged , , on June 30, 2010 | 1 Comment »

It’s time for true confessions: 1. I don’t like chocolate.  Perhaps that makes me weird.  I don’t care. 2. I recently went to a benefit for a local high school only because Tony Dovolani from Dancing with the Stars was hosting. 3. When I get Wii and DSi games to review….I give them to my [...]

I’m A Swinger (on the Trapeze, that is.)

Posted in Exercise, tagged , , on June 3, 2010 | 3 Comments »

She flies through the air with a grunt and a wheeze, That middle aged-mom, on the flying trapeze. Yes, that would be me. In this, the middle aged-crisis part deux post. You’ve already read about my hair and my calamitous (if courageous) pole dancing escapades…but now you get to see me on the trapeze.  Yes, [...]

Posted in Aging, Beauty, Exercise, Health, Humor, Laughs, tagged , , , , , , , on May 14, 2010 | 2 Comments »

I think I’m having a midlife crisis. Why else would I have cut off my hair, gone Pole Dancing and and taken a trapeze class all in the last month? Yep, that’s me on the trapeze…though not me (I mean , seriously) on the pole. I think it all started with my 7th annual 39th [...]

Bartendaz. Can you Hang?

I went up to Harlem yesterday and saw something amazing: The Bartendaz.  These guys do things on a pull up bar you’ve never seen before. The strength is amazing, the camaraderie infectious, the feats: totally unbelievable. The Bartnedaz are a group of the buffest, toughest looking guys you’ll ever see…who also happen to be all [...]

Wii For Old Folks? You mean my excuse doesn’t work anymore?

Posted in Exercise, Laughs, Rants, tagged , , on January 12, 2010 | 1 Comment »

For quite some time now, I’ve been blaming my total lack of video-gaming ability on my age.  I am so bad at Wii that according to my Wii Fit, I should be stumbling all over the place, barely able to walk and talk on my cell phone at the same time. But I don’t really [...]

If I have to exercise, can I at least do it without having to think about poop?

Posted in Exercise, Health, Humor, Laughs, tagged , , on January 7, 2010 | 3 Comments »

After months of excuses, real (moving, swine flu, pneumonia) and not (too busy, too tired, too many other things to do) I went back to working out this week. Monday was 45 minutes on the treadmill. A puff of the old inhaler and I was good to go. Tuesday was…oh yeah, didn’t make it to [...]

Ah, the holiday season.  A chance to spend time with loved ones….eating. A time to go out and celebrate.  And eat. A time to have more excuses to stuff your face than any other time of the year.  (With the possible exception of birthdays.  After forty, the only way through a birthday is with spoon [...]

My Dog is Making me Fat

So the good people at Role Mommy (thanks, Beth) sent me my very own copy of Jillian Michael’s Fitness Ultimatum 2010- the brand-spanking new game for my (also gratis – thanks Nintendo) Wii Fit, for free.
