Kettlebell workouts are fun. Maybe it is the brightly colored kettlebell weights or maybe it's because it's easy to see the progression. Either way, I have loved learning more about these type of weights. Here are some of my favorite kettlebell workouts for building strength. The kettlebell swing is probably my favorite of the kettlebell exercises. I like this workout because I can feel it strengthen my hamstrings and glutes...

When you realize that your clothes have become tight or you need to buy larger sizes, you probably might consider losing some weight. If you just don’t like how you look, maybe you...

There is a certain day in January that recognized as the day most people quit their resolutions. I think I might have hit that earlier than normal. It's been a weird start of the new year: I had taken a flu shot, but still "caught" a bit of something. I participated in an awesome healthy living / self care / meditation / yoga workshop, but ended up having back spasms on the way home. From driving??? Not sure. It took a couple of days with hot rice bags and stretches to get the kinks out. Signed up for a "biggest loser" challenge at the gym. And in 2 weeks, somehow I've gained 2.4 pounds. (Honestly, I think it is salt and timing.) Snow fall the...

Since I'm trying to do a new veggie each week, I'd be remiss not to talk about the Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen. Although this has been a thing for a while, I'm still trying to get on board. The "dirty dozen" and the "clean fifteen" are ways to deal with the about pesticides that are so difficult to wash off of the fruits and vegetables. These guidelines (which basically is just a list of foods) are a great place to know when to buy organic and when it is safe to buy regular. Today's post was prompted by a recent food report that  found some multiple samples of kale with 18 types of pesticide residue. Yikes! And kale is listed as number 3, meaning strawberries and...
