When I bought a Peloton bike in 2020, I knew the brand’s bike shoes wouldn’t fit me and didn’t even order a pair. I have had wide and high volume all my life and am used to “standard” shoes not fitting my feet. I was on the hunt for the best wide width cycling shoes… Continue Reading The 7 Best Wide Width Cycling Shoes for Women
Before lockdown, I was going to a gym five mornings a week lifting weights. I did this for a little over two years, and it really showed me that it’s never too late to start something new. As we get older, our bodies may not be as durable or flexible or capable, but a lot… Continue Reading And For My Next Challenge… Learning to Scull
About a month ago, my daughter screamed from her bedroom. There was a bug! Get it out! I ran in with an envelope (a great way to catch spiders and other bugs to safely get them outside) and a rolled-up issue of Rolling Stone (in case it wasn’t the kind I could or would want… Continue Reading Getting Back in the Saddle: Peloton and Torn Meniscus
This weekend I achieved 100 classes with Peloton. In March, my family bought a Peloton bike and I have logged over 70 rides and 30 strength, meditation, and stretching classes with the app. I am not sponsored by Peloton, I am not a naturally athletic person, I never did a spin class before buying this… Continue Reading My Peloton Experience after 100 Classes

I know now people are waiting for months to get theirs. Hang in there, it will be worth the wait. I finished my… Continue Reading I Get the Peloton Hype: An Update After 25 Rides

However, in December 2017 I quit Corporate America to be a full-time blogger and I also decided to make another major life change by hiring a personal… Continue Reading I Love My Peloton and I’m not Thin or Athletic
If I could gift every woman six months of weight training sessions I would. There has been nothing that has made a bigger impact not just on my body, but my body image, my self-esteem, how I view my self, my purpose in the world, and other women. I started my first diet the summer… Continue Reading The Greatest Gift I Gave Myself
A year ago, I was in the worst shape of my life. At 5’3” I was a bit over 200 lbs. I had back pain, knee pain, and occasionally got migraines. My allergies were terrible, I was always tired and felt as though I was living life in a fog. I’ve never been athletic, but… Continue Reading I Started Weight Training One Year Ago: The Results
I have never liked my belly. I always felt it was too big. In high school, I starved and purged until I was under 100 pounds but I still had a pooch. In college, I would do hundreds of crunches and live off canned tuna and vodka but still found my lower abdomen to protrude… Continue Reading What I Wore: Working Out
