  Double dutch is an internationally beloved activity, a childhood rite of passage for so many. I remember watching Sesame Street as a kid and loving the jump rope contest they featured as a segment in the 80’s. Who remembers this?     I wanted to be one of those little girls so much! But…

What I Learned About Fitness From The Biggest Loser’s Bob Harper at SELF Magazine’s Workout In the Park

The Dumbest Excuses We Make To Avoid Exercising

The Plus Size Princess Fitness Initiative – So Smart & Inspiring!

I’ve shared my health and fitness journey here off and on, but more often lately that kind of sharing has been off. I figure if I don’t want to talk about it, I should be about it. For me, my journey to wellness has never been about fitting into a specific dress size or being…
