Do you have that aha moment when you decided to start running?  I did.

When I was younger, I was one of those people that hated running.  You know how when you are young and running means sprinting?  I didn’t know the meaning of pace yourself.  Run at a steady pace and you can go forever.  So, every time I would run, I would feel out of breath and miserable.  I hated running!

I had 2 kids and I gained 50 pounds with each pregnancy.  The first time I lost most of it, the second time I kept an extra 20-25 pounds on.  After my youngest son turned 1 1/2 I hit a breaking point.  Now, I have always been fit so this extra weight drove me insane.  I finally said, “that’s it, I can’t take it anymore!”

I had bought a cheap treadmill at my neighbor’s garage sale a couple months prior and I decided that while my kids were napping I would run on that treadmill every day.

I don’t even remember whether it was difficult in the beginning or not.  I just ran.  All I remember is that I was at the point of running 6 miles every day on that same treadmill, in that same room, looking at the same things.  I was dedicated.

This went on for about 6 months and by the time I went to put on that season’s clothes, they were all 2 sizes too big.  I didn’t even own a scale so I never knew how the weight loss was going.

I looked great, but more importantly I felt great (and my husband was happy too)!  I decided to run a marathon with Team in Training in 2004 and the rest is history.

I have had bumps in the road along the way and taken breaks from my routine, but I always come back to it because when I run and exercise regularly, I am at my best.

You know you’ve seen it. RADiance. She has it and you wonder, “How do I get some of that?”

The answer is simple.  You already have it. Hidden beneath the layers of stress, bad habits, and LIFE is the RADiant Rockstar you always dreamed you could be.

You want to exercise, but there is always an excuse.  You know you should eat better, but it’s “too hard” or “too expensive.” You tell yourself you “can’t” and therefore you don’t.

What fear keeps you from the TRUE YOU?

As a Holistic Nutrition Counselor, triathlete, writer, and mother of two, I have experienced all of the above myself. The difference is, I did something about it. And it sucked. It was hard and I didn’t like it at times, but this thought always came to mind: God gave me this body and this mind and I owe it to HIM to ROCK it for all it’s worth.  The RADiance Revolution began… I want you to join me.

Hi Fitbloggers!  I am Jules from JogOnJules.  I live in the UK with my ever-suffering partner of 7 years, Steve.

When I found out that I was to be a featured-blogger, my first thoughts were that I am too early into my journey for this and after a lot of thought I decided that I would talk about the reasons I have chosen to make this journey.

I am 37 years old; I was born in the decade of bright, gaudy wallpaper and disco music.  As a child I was quite active and would cycle for miles on my Chopper push bike.  I enjoyed cross-country running until my teens, when my interest turned to music and computer games…and that is how I stayed.  The next 20 years of my life were spent avoiding exercise if I could.  The weight started to pile on and my health started to decline.   Over the years I have suffered from crippling back pain.  Recently I have been diagnosed with high cholesterol.

On 3^rd Jan 2003, my niece, Billie-Jane was born.   During the pregnancy, we told the news that Billie-Jane had a condition called Holoprosencephaly.  We were devastated.  We were told that if she survived birth, she would be unlikely to make it to 4 months.  I was heart-broken.

Billie made it to 4 months but it was hard for my brother and his wife.  She had to be given lots of medicines and was in a lot of pain. At 4 months, the doctors inserted a shunt into her brain to drain away the fluid, reduce the swelling and relieve her pain.   Things changed radically after the op.  Billie was no longer in pain and she started to grow into a happy child.  We knew that she would never walk or talk but the happiness was there for everyone to see.  She would laugh all the time and loved music. Billie-Jane reached her 1^st birthday, but taking care of her was stressful and hard work.  Paul and his wife started to receive help from an organization called Hope House Children’s Hospices.  They would take Billie for a weekend to give her family a much needed break.  They were amazing; if it were not for them I don’t know how Paul and his wife would have coped.  Time went on and Billie reached another milestone…she started school!

On 19^th Oct 2010, I was woken by a call.  Billie-Jane had passed away.  She was 7 years old.  She developed Pneumonia during the night; it had taken hold very quickly.  There was nothing anyone could have done.  My entire family was devastated.  Even almost 18 months on I find it hard to talk about her or look at the pictures.  Hope House were amazing - they supported the family throughout Billie’s short life and still support them now.

I knew that I wanted to raise money for Hope House so I decided to take part in a 5K fun run later this year.  My plan was to walk it, then I decided that I would try to run as much of it as I could.  So I started the Couch to 5K plan.  I also started blogging about my journey at JogOnJules.  Blogging has put me in touch with so many people from all over the world that have supported me and offered advice.  The Blogosphere is a huge family!  It has been a long slog for me with a couple of false starts but slowly I am learning to run.  To start with I thought I was going to have a heart attack but bit by bit I have improved.  I am just starting this journey and I know I have a long road ahead of me but every step is worth it when I think of how the money I am raising will help Hope House.  It feels amazing to be able to give something back. The added health benefits are a bonus, the back pain is almost gone!

Do you sometimes eat whole pizzas?  Inhale devil’s food cakes?  Spoon cookie dough ice cream into your mouth until you hit the bottom of the carton or get a wicked brain freeze?

I do.  And if you do too then you might have a binge eating disorder.

After ten years of diets that ended in binge-eating disasters and thirty-five extra pounds on my 5’3” frame I’ve finally decided to seek professional help.  I’m the crazy kind of fat, a binge eater, but I’m working on it.

Case in point: every Sunday night I get in bed and begin making my new life plan for the week ahead.  This weekend (as they all inevitably are) was a food wreck.  December Bender was in full swing and I ate and drank my way through three parties and as many hungover bagels.

But Monday, Monday is a new day.  A new week!  So I start out by making my list, which typically looks like this:

Bread, pizza in particular, is my kryptonite.  Every book I’ve ever read about health and nutrition for my body type tells me that highly processed carbs are the first thing that have to go.  And so they are what I always return to on my binges.

And my mornings tend to start off on the right foot.  I drag myself out of bed at 5:42am and pull on the gym clothes that are neatly folded at the foot of my bed.  If I didn’t have a burly trainer waiting for me at the gym down the street I would have promptly hit the snooze button, but I pay $90 a session and I refuse to see more of my money go down the drain in an effort to beat my food addiction.

After training I drink my protein shake, take a shower, and start thinking about bagels.  I tend to keep thinking about bagels until I a.) buy a bagel from the deli in my office building, or b.) transition my thoughts from a breakfast bagel to a lunchtime panini.  The bread, whether in the form of breakfast or lunch, always wins.

My brain looks a little bit like a choose your own adventure book:

But on Sunday the world is my oyster.  I set my lofty goals and envision how much weight I’ll lose this week if I just keep following the Atkins/Dukan/Skinny Bitch/younameitI’vetried it low-carb plan du jour.  Some weeks I power through and manage to shed 1.6 pounds and am over the moon.  Most weeks I falter around dinner time on Monday after a long work day.  But every weekend, without fail, I blow even my best laid plans with Domino’s cheesy bread and Mexican food and wine.  And, le sigh, every Sunday I start the planning again.

Hello south of the border neighbors!

My name is Camille and I am a fellow fitness lover from Montreal, Canada.  I’m a French Canadian but figured I would reach more people if I chose English as the primary language of my blog.

I’m slowly trying to make my way into the US blog community, because let’s face it; Canadians are slow to jump in the blogging thing.  I don’t get it though…I only see advantages to blogging right!? Anyway, I want to be honest with you guys and tell you that my motivation has gone out the window lately…I haven’t been to the gym in 3 weeks! What?! But I’m still active don’t worry, with running and walking a lot. I think that there are 2 main reasons that explain my lazy attitude.

First, the Montreal weather…and especially for a runner like me. I accept the fact that winter exists and that it’s cold and snowy and always seems to last forever. I don’t hate it and I’m equipped to run outside in this kind of weather, even though I prefer the treadmill in winter. But, when spring makes its appearance and gives us a few beautiful sunny days in the 40’s, it gives me hope and strength to last until summer. And then, you wake up the next day and it’s back to 25 degrees!! Aaahh! The whole outside running plan and motivation goes straight in the trash. Depressing…

The second reason is that my desire of becoming a full-time personal trainer this year has received a slap in the face. Let me recap the last couple years of my life in a few words: Fell in love with running, got injured, fell in love with weight training and the fitness blogging community, received my certification as personal trainer, started my blog and my at-home PT business, was counting on the blogging community to help me build my business…realized that Canada is not where the US is in terms of blogging…:( specially the French part of Canada…So now, I have to find another way to reach clients while still having to work my 8 to 5 desk job and pursuing my own fitness passion and balancing that with my family-friends-boyfriend life…How?! I need a plan…

Thankfully, I can always count on you blogging friends :) I want to thank you for inspire me and accepting me in your community. I read many of you religiously and wish I could be closer to you…or maybe you could extend your community up north and have events and conferences in Canada :) I think I should work on that. I also want to thank you for making me discover so many great products before everybody else in Canada because you’re always ahead of us (almond butter and Greek yogurt got here in 2011, imagine… I had been looking for those forever!).

So, until the summer happens over here, I know I can count on you guys to bring my motivation back and make me want to inspire people with a healthy lifestyle, just like you do to me! I’ll keep dreaming about a future meeting with some of you ;)

What’s wrong with the health and fitness industry? I could name a whole lot of things that irritate me, but today I’m going to focus on Numero Uno, the main thing that hacks me off day after day and does untold damage to people who desperately need to change their lives.

The problem is lies. And the biggest one of all is this: You can “lose weight” quickly and easily and without sacrifice. All you need is our miracle diet plan, on which you’ll eat all your favorite foods and never go hungry! You’ll lose 30 pounds (of what?) in 30 days! You’ll get thin thighs and six-pack abs with our herbal fat-burning supplement! You’ll develop a fitness-model physique on an exercise plan that takes just minutes a week!

We consumers are only human, and there’s a part of us that longs to believe there’s an insider secret to getting back into our skinny jeans or looking great naked. We’re vulnerable because our desire is so strong, and when marketers promise us the moon, we want to believe. Then, when ridiculous fad diets, worthless fat burners, and five-minute-a-day miracle exercise routines don’t work, we blame ourselves.

I’m a survivor of the “diet wars,” and I’ve been there.

PrimeFit is my personal crusade against the lies—my mission to play whatever part I can in defeating the obesity crisis and sedentary lifestyle that are cutting our lifespan and sucking the joy out of our days. My passion is helping women over 40 transform their bodies and their lives. Age is no reason for us to let go of our dreams. Because it’s not too late to build a healthy, lean body.

A quick personal history: I am a former chubby, lonely adolescent who started finding herself when she discovered the athlete within. At age 14 I began learning about nutrition and exercise, and I haven’t stopped since. Yes, I’ve derailed a time or two along the way, gaining and losing 32 pounds in my 40s. But this journey is about progress, not perfection.

Because of my interest in nutrition and exercise—and my career as a journalist—I’ve spent much of the past several decades keeping up with both the scientific research on obesity and the popular information published in diet books and the online world.

Last year, at the age of 54, after decades of training, reading, and study, I became an NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist.

My blog, PrimeFit, is the think tank where I write about current health research, offer motivation for midlife women, expose fitness myths, and present tools to help readers achieve their body goals.

Here are some of PrimeFit’s key themes:

• Muscle is your friend—the metabolic engine that helps you burn more calories all day long. Loss of muscle is a health disaster and one of the No. 1 factors behind the aging process.
• Strength training is the closest thing we have to a “fountain of youth,” and women have no reason to fear it.
• The primary dangers to your muscle mass are sedentary living and dangerous dieting.
• Inadequate diets endanger your muscle mass and make you fatter.
• Short-term crash diets lead to weight regain. Lifelong weight maintenance is a result of permanent lifestyle change.
• Calories do count, and “clean” eating alone does not lead to fat loss.
• Healthy dieting does not mean starvation.
• Getting fit does not require spending hours a day in the gym.

Are you female, over 40, and ready for science-based strategies that work? Join me on PrimeFit.

The truth is, we don’t need miracle cures. If we help one another—with support, encouragement, and the truth—we can transform our lives as we transform our bodies.

Mary C. Weaver is an NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist. She’s somewhat obsessed with strength training, nutrition, healthy fat loss, female empowerment, and fitness for women over 40. Her idea of a good time is lifting weights, rowing, singing Renaissance music, reading, or hanging out with her husband and five (yes, five) slightly crazed dogs. You can find her on Facebook and Twitter.

Feel like your fitness life has become a synonym for “run on a treadmill and breeze through an ab routine”? If you are anything like me you may scan the gym when you walk in and then place yourself on your treadmill in the corner where you can comfortably observe fellow gym-goers as they tackle a machine that might as well have eight arms and four eyes. If this scenario at all sounds like you, you’re definitely not alone. Like many others your dull fitness routine may be eating at you, but you are at a loss on how to mix it up or too scared to make the jump into unfamiliar territory. (Read: who will take my treadmill over?? Anyone else but me would just be tragic!)

Hi Fitbloggers! My name is Talia and I am the brains behind the new blog Bite Size Wellness. BSW is a site that hosts tips on head-to-toe wellness served in bite size portions because; let’s face it, these days no one has time to read a novel about their health. At Bite Size Wellness, I share my own experiences about health as I try new things, discover new tricks and learn a thing or two on my wellness path in the bustling city of NYC.

One recent discovery was that my dull routine was making it easy for me to find excuses not to workout. I recently announced to the world that the treadmill bores me so I went into action to cure my lackluster attitude by mixing up my routine!

Of course, the obvious choice if you are a die hard yogi is to add some cardio to your regimen and vice versa, but there is more to getting your fitness switch-up in action. Doing something beyond the same-ol’-same-ol’ is good for your mind and body. You can broaden your physical abilities and put new, good stress on your muscles that you likely forgot about or didn’t know that you had which can push you past a plateau or to a whole new level. Plus, mixing up your routine can help your beat boredom and the mind numbness that goes along with it! Stop yawning through the norm and start….ballroom dancing?

1. Take a Class: The gym offers a slew of classes to choose from. If you normally go to kickboxing then try spin and so on. As the weather turns into summer sign-up for outdoor activities like tennis, climbing, kayaking or outdoor bootcamp.
2. Try a New Sport: Working out often means heading to the gym but a great workout can come from a game of tennis, soccer or kickball. Start a dodgeball or softball league with your friends or neighbors.
3. Get Jiggy: Zumba is on the rise for shaking your hips and burning calories, but don’t forget about ballet, ballroom dancing or hip-hop classes as other 8-step options from a local dance studio.
4. Join a Club: Motivation comes in numbers. Common fitness clubs include running or cycling and surrounding yourself with other active people may inspire additional ideas!
5. Hit up the pool: At my gym the pool is usually empty, but this forgotten solo sport is a serious calorie burner.

1. Sign-up for a Tri: The devout runner can benefit from learning how to swim or getting more comfortable on a bike. Cross-training doesn’t always mean treadmill to free weights and back again.
2. Get Fancy with your Rest Day: Your day off can burn calories too in a less intense way. For example, get into gardening, try golfing or fall in love with your vacuum (weird?).
3. Do Downward Dog in More than One Way: The go-to yoga class is typically a vinyasa flow which is the fast-paced series of poses most of us are used to, but yoga is so much more! Consider Bikram (hot yoga), yoga sculpt (with weights) or really test the limits by going on a yoga retreat.
4. Spice it Up in the Gym: How many different machines are available at your fitness center? I know for me I a) have no idea how to use them or b) have never taken the time to figure it out. Hire a personal trainer for a session to show you around and teach you about otherwise foreign machines (just be sure to tell them your attentions ahead of time!).
5. Head to a New Facility: When friends have a free week buddy pass I always take them up on it. Going to a new location often will leave you feeling super sore and refreshed.
6. Switch Routines with a Friend: There may be nothing wrong with your workout habits, but you’ll definitely benefit from trading with a friend for a week. Make it a friendly challenge!

Getting out of the workout rut by exploring new routines in and out of the gym will introduce you and your bod to more ways to get sweaty so you can peruse around the gym like a know-it-all….and we all want that!

Visit Bite Size Wellness on Twitter and Facebook. I would love to connect with you!

Courtesy of What Would Jessica Eat.

Pancakes are at the top of my “all-time favorite breakfast” list, but they are something I very rarely take the time to make. I actually kind of like that though, because it makes having them feel like a special occasion.This week I hit an personal mileage record, running (and actuallyenjoying!) more miles in the past seven days that I ever have before! If that doesn’t call for some celebratory pancakes, I don’t know what does.

Some of my favorite past pancake recipes have included:
Pumpkin Pancakes 
Oatmeal & Flax Pancakes
and of course
Mom’s Chocolate Chip Pancakes

But, Banana Bread Pancakes were on the menu for breakfast this morning!

Banana Bread Pancakes

Ingredients
1/2 c. oats
1/4th c. cottage cheese
1/2 ripe banana, mashed
1 egg
A splash of milk (maybe 2 Tbsp?)
Cinnamon, to taste

Directions
Combine all ingredients in a blender, with a enough milk to get everything moving (add more as needed until a desired consistency is reached)
Pour batter into a hot, greased pan
Top with syrup and banana slices and enjoy!
I also added some Greek yogurt on top for “whipped cream”. Alright, there is no way that Greek yogurt will ever compare to a huge dollop of whipped cream on a pancake breakfast, but hey…at least this was a little healthier!

Why Would Jessica Eat This?: When you think ‘bananas’ the first nutrition-related thing that comes to mind is probably potassium, right? It is true that bananas are a great source of this nutrient, but they are also packed with tons of other great things! At just 110 calories for one medium-sized fruit, bananas are also a great source of B-vitamins and fiber. The National Academy of Sciences has shown that the potassium and fiber found in bananas may help reduce the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease. Love your heart and peel one open!

Hi, I’m SoulMamma! Like many women, I’m a wife, mother, friend, sister, and employee – and not necessarily in that order. It’s a precarious juggling act, but I have found that if I focus on the things I love in life, the things that are nourishing for my body and soul, I am more balanced and so is my family.

And what’s good for us is also good for the planet.

I live The Soulicious Life, inspired by my passion for real (vegetarian) food, as well as natural products and eco-practices that benefit us without harming our environment or our animal friends. I believe in the power of nature, an active lifestyle, and the practice of yoga.

• Nourish Your Body. We are what we eat, and what we eat should be real and healthy. I share food tips and family-friendly veggie delights. You’ll find I adore my slow cooker, especially during the cooler months.

• Nourish Your Soul. Happiness truly does come within. Whether playing outside, practicing yoga, or spending time with family and friends, I’ll share ideas and tips that inspire “you” time. You’ll feel lighter and brighter, and your family will too.

• Nourish the Planet. I truly believe that all-natural, eco-friendly products should be our choice in life, both for our health and that of our environment. I also choose to live frugally and love to share my adventures in re-purposing. I often review books and green products, offer giveaways, and provide tips for green living. With a little inspiration, you too can go green for less.

Finally, positive change comes not only from the decisions we make in our homes but also from those made by our country’s law makers. I regularly provide links to help you make a difference in shaping public policy as it relates to food, the environment, wildlife and more.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I hope you take away something that makes your body a bit healthier or your soul a little bit brighter.

Cheers,
Kim

Hey FitBloggers! I’m BJ, the creative mastermind behind the site Running BJ!

Running BJ is a blog that discusses many of the things that are not discussed elsewhere, such as:

• How to know if you’re addicted to ibuprofen
• How to know if you sweat a lot more than normal people
• What to do when you’re in the middle of a 6 mile loop while pushing a running stroller and your child announces that she’s bored and has to pee

My hope is that the blog will entertain, inform, and provide a place where normal people can talk about being runners without feeling inferior or intimidated.  Below is a little about me:

Some people run for weight loss.  Some people run for exercise.

I began running out of frustration.

Â

Quick note: Don’t start your running career in VFFs

Growing up, I was never a star athlete but I did play a few sports in high school.  Running was always involved and it was always dreaded.  It was painful, hot, boring, and worst, I felt like I couldn’t breathe while I was doing it.  I did the minimum I needed to get by and still be a part of whichever team I was on at the time.

After high school and one really fun but academically lackluster semester in college, I joined the Army.  Running became more of a part of my life because of this decision, but just like in high school, I did not enjoy it and only did enough to pass PT tests.  I simply could not wrap my head around why anyone would willingly give up significant amounts of their free time to run.

Following the Army I began a series of jobs that, for lack of a better way of saying, were dead end and highly disappointing.  I had always figured great things were waiting for me; when real life began to set in and I found out no one was giving anything away, I struggled both personally and professionally.  It was at this point that I started to begin running for myself.  I don’t know why I started, I just know I was incredibly frustrated and needed the outlet that running provided.

Fast forward a few years…

Things finally began to come together for me.  I met a girl, got married, and started a career and not just a job.  The bad part of the career was it required the occasional trip to such world garden spots as Iraq.  Shortly after I agreed to go on one of these “trips,” my wife let me know she was pregnant.  I missed the last three months of the pregnancy while I was away, came home for the birth of my daughter, and then was gone for nearly another year, the first of my baby’s life.

Frustration does not get worse than sitting alone in a war zone, thinking of the every decision you have ever made that took you away from your wife and newborn child.

It was at this point that I truly became a runner.  Just as before, I needed an outlet that only running seemed to be able to give me.  For some reason I decided I’d have time to log 1,000 miles of running on the treadmill before I got to leave.  In my mind, every step of every mile was a step closer to home.  Nearly every day I would go to the gym tent, start the machine and get lost in my thoughts while I stared at the green canvas in front of me.

Over time my endurance grew and I would be on the treadmill for hours.  People began to ask me for running advice.  Running became something I was known for; I began to view it not just as an activity, but as part of who I am.

I went home shortly after reaching my 1,000^th mile.  I ran less for a while after getting home as I got to know my daughter.  Despite my lowered mileage, however, I continued to view myself as a runner and never lost the sense of what it felt like to have running as a part of my life.

Â

Mr. Tyler, kiddo #2!

Now I am home and you would think life would get easier, right?  Hardly.  Life has taken its inevitable ups and downs, with two kids to look after and dogs and grad school and so on.  I have learned a lot about myself, especially in this past year.  I have learned that relying on someone else to make you feel good or worthwhile is a disaster waiting to happen.  I have learned that you have to be true to yourself and your dreams and goals, otherwise you develop a self-destructive venom inside of yourself.  I have learned that sometimes you have to take care of yourself first in order to be giving to others.

I am going to continue to learn in life and in running.  I am hoping to rededicate myself to both the sport and to writing so I can feel like I have not given up on myself.  I hope I am successful; if I am not, at least I know I tried.  I want to be a great Dad, a Boston-qualifying runner, and a good writer.

Â

Ready to run!

I finished the Baltimore Marathon in October 2011 in 4:15.  I learned a ton from the experience and cannot wait to get another chance at the course next year.  I know I can improve my training and race tactics to shave a ton of time off of my initial result.  Before I get that second chance I will be running the Frederick Half Marathon on May 6, 2012.

No matter what happens in life, I will always be a runner.  I want to keep learning more about the sport, life, and so much more.  I hope to see you out there.

Daddy and Katie at the White House on the 4th of July!
