Red Carpet & 22 Years!

Dancing + dress-up? Yes please!!

I had a great time this weekend helping Dustin Maher celebrate the release of his book Fit Moms for Life - How to Have Endless Energy to Outplay Your Kids during his red carpet book celebration.

About 150+ of us:

- ate,
- danced,
- posed,
- laughed and smiled,
- while we supported and celebrated our fitness journey.
Dustin's done incredible things with his business and I wish him the best with his new book! Learn more about the book & watch the book trailer at http://dustinmaherfitness.com/.

I love dressing up and dancing, so I was totally excited to attend. I bought this dress knowing it was similar to a dress I wore to a formal in high school, but comparing the pictures now, it's fun to see how my taste is similar 22 years later! :-)
- Both dresses are: blue & mostly one-shoulder, have ruffles, are asymmetrical and were fun to dance in!
- Both photographers cut off my legs/feet! :-)

It's fun to look back while also taking time to celebrate the now!
Happy 2012!
Questions for You:
- Do you like to dance? If so, when was the last time you did?
- Any dress-up occasions this year?

Merry Christmas! Charlie Brown & Xmounts

Merry Christmas!!!!!!

Last month I took the TRX Suspension Training Course --- loved it, totally awesome. I bought myself a TRX two years ago for my birthday and have used TRX in various venues at home, in fitness centers and on the road.

I've been using my TRX at home with a door anchor or at the park across the street. When I saw the Xmount I knew it'd be perfect in the basement and would give me a full range of motion.

My husband put the Xmount up today, and being Christmas Eve it made me think of the phrase Merry X-mas!

I'm really excited with my new Xmount, but I'm sticking with Merry Christmas.

I saw this Charlie Brown picture and quote on facebook earlier today:

Charlie Brown: “Isn’t there ANYONE who knows what Christmas is all about?!?!

Linus: Sure Charlie Brown I can tell you what Christmas is all about…….lights please……“And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were so afraid. And t...he angel said unto them, ‘Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.’ ”“That’s what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown”

T-Rex & Flu Shots

I saw this on facebook via fellow triathlete & GOTRIbal member Donna T.
Thanks! It made me smile.

I couldn't stop smiling during my last trip to the doctor --- (no I'm not expecting!). Read my latest GOTRIbal post Flu Shot Strength.

Question for You:
