Resolutions getting a little rusty? Feeling a little uninspired to cook something healthy or get some exercise in your day? Here are 10 sayings that I found to inspire you (and me!).  I’ve included attribution where I can, but I found most of these on Pinterest.

Entries for the Next FitCity Moms contest are coming in every day, but we know that some of you have a few questions about the contest. Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions:

It’s the Big News these days- Paula Deen has come clean with her diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes.  She was diagnosed 3 years ago and is now trying to make a major overhaul to how she is perceived in the public eye as she goes from being the Queen of Butter and Sugar to an advocate for healthy living and diabetes medication. 

I can understand the social outcry over the news about Paula Deen’s condition.  It feels like a marketing move …

I know it’s January 6, 2012 but I’m not really in the New Year yet. I am still writing 2011 on things, and I haven’t made any resolutions either. I usually have something that I am committed to changing but not yet this year.

I did manage to give away all of the sodas leftover from a Christmas get-together, and I bought some exercise clothes. I’ve been checking out all of the membership offers from local fitness places and I am …

Here I am, on the cusp of another new year while the crumbs of Christmas cookies and cream-cheese laden appetizers are still stuck under the keys of my laptop. Nagging thoughts of New Year’s fitness resolutions keep creeping into my head. I’m making myself dizzy trying to mentally configure carpool schedules with routine visits to the gym. “It shouldn’t be this hard,” I’m saying to myself.

And then this morning, I open my Facebook page to an opportunity that isn’t so …

It’s just before Christmas and my house is in full swing. There are gifts to wrap, cards to be sent, family and friends to see and cookies to bake. Yes, I have an annual tradition of making cookies and other goodies. Typically, I make at least two different cookies and chocolate truffles. This year, I decided to try and make healthier cookies and forgo the truffles.

My children are 2, 3 and 6, and they believe in Santa Clause and are …

I have always been of the belief that the best “gifts” don’t fit in a little box. But when I “think outside of the pretty box,” I think about the gifts that I have to give to my kids and my family for Christmas and every day.

First, I think of the gift of time.  I know we all wish we had more of it to give to those we love.  In today’s busy, busy world those moments when we are …

It’s that time of year- the time when treats and meals and pitch-ins and potlucks and cookies and baked goodies abound.  It’s that time of year where we get so busy running errands, making lists, wrapping gifts, and so on that there just isn’t time for our usual priorities.

Unfortunately, my priorities slipped months ago and I’ve been struggling to recover.

I’ve gained a lot of weight.  I’ve stopped working out.  I was starting to get back on track but then the …

I’m truly trying (again) to give up diet sodas – especially after all of the comments I received after posting a simple question on Facebook: Is Diet Coke really that bad for me? I’m afraid so!
