I heart Valentine’s Day

If my husband is reading that post title, he is cringing. He hates Valentine's Day. Over the weekend, he asked me, "When is Valentine's Day again?" When I told him it's Thursday, he let out a long, low growling sound. Maybe that sounds kind of sexy and romantic. It wasn't. Like many men, I suspect …

We now return to (semi) regularly scheduled programming

Hi! Howdy! Long time no see! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Holy Crap it's 2013! Yes, I sort of dropped off the face of the Earth. Or, at least I appeared to here. In reality, I am too heavily grounded to drop off the face of anything. See what I mean? This is from Thanksgiving, …

Celeb-fit shrinking stars

This has been a bumpy week. Last week, both boys had a quick and dirty stomach bug, and I thought I had it too, though not quite as dirty. Thought is the operative word there. Monday afternoon I discovered what it was like to wrestle with the real version of the virus. Yuck. Pregnant + …

American Diabetes Month

According to the American Diabetes Association: Nearly 26 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes, including 7 million who don't know it. Another 79 million Americans have prediabetes and are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Recent estimates project that as many as …

Halloween is so over . . .

and yet, I haven't gotten to it until today. I promised an update last week, and it just didn't happen. My parents have been visiting, I had my 20-week ultrasound, we had a weekend full of Christmas shopping (!!), soccer, and some general putzing around. Then today, Graham got yucky sick. So, you know, just …

Halfway there

Halloween tricks and treats

If you were around wishfit for Halloween last year, you know we get pretty excited about the holiday. This year is no different; in fact the boys picked their costumes for this year, last year. What are they? A cop and a robber, and if you know them at all, you can probably guess who …

Winter-proof your workout

Winter hit us last night. There's my neighbor's pumpkin. He looks like he's been hit with a snowball! Just last week we were playing in unseasonably warm weather. Today it's 27 degrees and more snow is forecast. By the weekend? Who knows. What I do know, is that if you live in an area that …

Ladies who lunch

Yesterday I took part in a luncheon/brainstorming session with a great group of Colorado women as part of LiveWell Colorado's LiveWell Moms group. LiveWell is a non-profit dedicated to reducing obesity in Colorado, and LiveWell Moms is an off-shoot of moms (duh) who want to drive healthy change in the community. As moms of young …

Take your parents to lunch day

Oh, how I wish this post was all about how Garrett dipped into his hard-nagged earned allowance money and treated me to lunch at saaaayyy, Linger in Denver. I'd start with the meze plate, then move on to a crispy lentil salad and a chicken b'stilla, and wash it all down by drinking water while pretending it …
