Celebrate Mother’s Day By Donating Or Making “Clean Birth Kits”
My mother and I spent the past few days annoyed that the men in our lives failed to make brunch plans for Mother’s Day. Mom was irritated that she spent several hours searching and came up with nothing that met my picky family’s needs. I was less than thrilled when I was reminded that I’m [...]
Mommy Hooping Challenge
Especially as moms, it isn’t always easy finding the time and energy for exercise. Once my daughter was born, I couldn’t go to the gym before work, all I wanted to do after work was spend time with her, and once she was asleep I couldn’t bring myself to first go down to the gym. But [...]
Liposuction & Weight Loss Pills Vs. Exercise & Proper Nutrition
If you “Like” Fitnotic on Facebook, you may have seen me complain about a show that aired Friday night on Fox NY called “Getting Fit With Fox.” The host presented several ”tips” for a “healthier and fitter lifestyle.” Despite the fact that it was late and I was wiped out from a long day, I stayed [...]
Memoirs Of A Crazy Pumping Mom
Today is my son’s first birthday. Unfortunately for him, his reward for turning one is no more milk from mommy. I’ve spent a good part of the last 3 years attached to an electric breast pump. I started pumping a couple weeks after my now 3 year old daughter was born, in preparation of going [...]
When To Talk & When To Shut It
Every now and then I see a pregnant woman or mom in my gym working out with a trainer. Sometimes I see trainers directing them to do a particular exercise that I wouldn’t necessarily recommend, but it’s not usually something that really worries me. It’s not my style to butt into people’s business, and I [...]
Hooping With CBS Sports – Mommy Hooping Challenge Coming Soon!
Becoming a certified Hoopnotica teacher was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only are their products the best in the industry, but the support and generosity I have experienced is immeasurable. When I was miserably practicing law a few years ago and struggling to build Fitnotic on the side, I never would’ve [...]
My 137-Day Hooping Challenge Through Pregnancy & Early Motherhood
Now that we’ve had our first Baby Belly Challenge and we’re about to start the Cut the Sugar Challenge, I thought I’d share with you my inspiration for offering challenges through Fitmomease. During my pregnancy with my now 3 year old daughter, I discovered, and got certified to teach, Hoopnotica Hoopdance. I fell in love with [...]
Despite My Best Efforts… I Caved
If only the Sugar Challenge had started already, perhaps I would’ve been stronger… As usual, after dinner I REALLY wanted a sweet treat. I hadn’t eaten anything too bad today and didn’t get a very heavy dinner from Energy Kitchen, so permitted myself to have one of their protein brownies for dessert. Unfortunately I still [...]
Sweets
Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE sweets. If I could live on chocolate I would. I’ve always found it amazing to see how quickly I could get out of shape or back in shape by just controlling the amount of sweets I permit myself to eat. Over the past few months I’ve had some [...]
TRX Rip Trainer – Feel The Burn, Even With A Diastasis
Day 3 at the ECA/OBOW fitness convention and I fell in love. If you’re unfamiliar with TRX take a look at their site. I already have the Suspension Trainer and although I haven’t used it as much as I’d like, the workouts I have done with it have been fantastic. A few months ago when [...]
