Several weeks ago my kids asked me to come and jump on the trampoline with them in the backyard. This is something I do occasionally and actually enjoy doing. On this beautiful Arizona breezy afternoon I was showing my kids a few of my cool moves, in reality I was only jumping and attempting to do the splits in the air, when I landed I realized that my pants were slightly damp.

How I Got a Flat Tummy in 30 Days!
Want to know how I got a flat tummy in 30 days? Me too! I would love to know when the results shown in the photo below never happened to me in 30 days. Over the weekend I received an email from a fellow blogger, thank you Sia, notifying me that another blogger was using one of my before and after photos to promote a 30 Day Ab Challenge for a flat tummy.

And just so we are all clear on my work here, I mean selfies taken on my iPhone in the bathroom mirror. I know it is probably lame that I got excited about this, but what is it that they say about flattery? ;) Anyway, as flattered as I am that someone used my photo to promote their fitness challenge, I wish that my image had not been used in this way. THIS FIRM FLAT TUMMY IS NOT FROM A 30 DAY AB CHALLENGE I highly dislike the idea of people … [Read more...]
