This past Saturday I accomplished something I never dreamed was possible: I finished a half marathon. I ran (and walked some) 13.1 miles for 2 hours and 32 minutes. Even as I write this I'm shocked by it.
In one week this Saturday I will be running my first half marathon. A year ago if you had asked me if I would ever run a race I would?ve laughed in your face. Yet here I am not only training for a half marathon but for the most part I love the goal that?s at the end of this thing. The training has been intense; on Sunday I was out for two and a half hours with the sun beating down on me. It was not a smart move to forget the sunscreen that day. So what do you do if you want to start running? Here are my tips:

Getting healthy and gaining the most from your exercise and fitness efforts has everything to do with portion size. In a society where everything is super sized, can we live without it?
I have a lot of friends that are whole food, organic eaters and I trust their decision but the skeptic in me wanted to know if it was just a currently “cool” thing to do or if we should all be doing it because the organic produce was more nutritious.
Not everyone can escape parenthood and go to the gym, a run or get a break from the kids for long enough to workout. That's why sometimes you have to get creative and workout WITH the kids!
Youve done a good job of keeping up with your activity during the past three trimesters but the babys come now and life has changed - the sleepless nights, feedings every two to three hour, and some needed weight gain for the babe. Plus if this isnt your first time at the rodeo you have the other kiddos to look after too! Staying active and being healthy is the last thing on your mind as the mom of a newborn but should be one of the first things on your mind.
Does working out and dieting affect your milk supply? In this week's Family Fitness post Bert shares with you her thoughts and findings.
It's hard to eat healthy when you are constantly feeding your kids snacks that aren't so good for you but that they love.
What Im about to tell you is something that I hope will encourage you more than hinder your journey towards success in this health and fitness thing.
Working out during your 
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? Morning? Or evening? Midday or before breakfast? Fully clothed or naked?
Interested in exercising or working out during your first trimester of pregnancy but not sure what you can and can't or should not do? Read this great Family Fitness post just for you!
One important thing about working out is the clothes you wear doing it. I have learned after working out in long sweat pants and t-shirts for years that it really IS more comfortable to do work up a sweat in actual athletic clothes.
Its the third week in January and if youre like most people youre probably working that hiney off and expecting to see big time results. But what do you do if it hasnt happened yet? What do you do if youve been at this for months and the scale will not budge?
Creating and maintaining a healthy diet and fitness plan can be hard. Did you know there are several fitness and diet apps that help you count calories, track exercise and tell you exactly when you can expect to meet your goals?
Anyone else notice that the closer we got to December 31st, 2012, the more weight loss commercials popped up on TV? My favorite commercial is the one for a powder that you sprinkle onto your food or into your drink making you feel full sooner. The comical part to me are the skinny actors and actresses playing the roles of those using the product to be fit.
Time for New Year's resolutions! One thing stands between you and your goal, everyone battles it with you. It's the late night cravings for junk, munchies and carbs!
The holidays and all the junk food...this is the reason many wait until New Years to start eating right and exercising.
Working out can seem like a complete impossibility when you've got kids. You can't even go to the bathroom by yourself, let alone find time to work out.
Ok, we changed the day...so Stay Fit Sundays has now become Family Fitness!
