Have a Happy Thanksgiving Weekend

Here’s my new favorite photo, taken on my phone, of Steve and Luca on the swing at the park. I hope you all get a chance to do things outside this weekend and get some fresh air.

Happy Baby, Fit Mama! DVD – Available in January

Many people have noticed that a dvd title – HAPPY BABY, FIT MAMA! – is listed on the back cover of BAREFOOT CARDIO. How come I never discussed this workout and when is it coming out? Working with a baby is a gamble. We honestly didn’t know if Luca would cooperate, but he did (for the most part!). So we got the footage we needed to make a dvd, thanks to a great editor. It’ll be out as soon as possible. I am aiming for January 2010, and will notify you of it’s release details via this blog. EB

A Totally Random Picture…

So typical – my girl, Roxy (the dog) and my little boy (Luca) sitting on my lap and, clearly, NOT enthused. They are siblings even though they are different species!

Meet My Sponsor: Polaner Sugar Free with Fiber

Big news! I got a new gig as a spokesperson for Polaner fruit preserves, which I am elated about because it is a useful product rather than some unnecessary fitness-gizmo (which is the usual stuff that comes my way)! Polaner is perfect for your PBJs, your morning toast and try a scoop of it in your yogurt for a little kick. Useful, right? Every pantry needs jelly. I have a no-bake granola bar recipe that I am going to post this week that uses Polaner Sugar Free with Fiber. It may come with video, so stay tuned! EB
