That Time I Was On A Radio Show

Hey hey hey! I have the biggest smile on my face right now. I had a great day! Not only did I start off with a rocking treadmill interval workout, but I got to do a few new and exciting things today as well. How often do I get the chance to say I was on a radio show?

Well, let me answer that for you…not very often at all. Winking smile

Today I had the pleasure of visiting Adam and Lee in studio to participate in their online radio show Dr. Fitness & The Fat Guy. And I had THE. BEST. TIME! No surprise there. I love to talk…and talking with other people about making fitness fun gets me all giddy.

It all started a few weeks ago when Katy heard that Adam and Lee were looking into finding a female co-host for their show. She let me in on the news and said I should look into it. Adam and I chatted for awhile, then both decided to give it a go.

So I had I guess what you would call an “audition” of sorts today. I went in to hang out, let us see how well we all gel together, and have fun. I must say that Adam and Lee are both awesome. I love their senses of humor and their interest in enjoying life while still making the most out of it health-wise.

Today we had the chance to talk to Tanner Bell, the director from the Ragnar Relay races – an overnight, 200 mile relay race done in groups of 6-12 people.

Um, I kind of really want to do one of those one day! I’m all about trying new fitness endeavors and Tanner made it sound like so much fun. I think he had Dr. Fitness and I hooked on the idea.

Overall, I had a fantastic time. Who knows what will come of it, but even if I only got to visit the show this once, I appreciated the chance to do so. It was a great experience! Thanks, guys for making it happen!

Now you all can comment away about how you think they should pick me. Winking smile Kidding! Well, sort of. Only because I would looooovvvvveeeee to come back. And if you’re interested in catching the show, I will let you know when the archive of the show goes up online.

  • Would you be into doing a group event like a relay race?
  • What is something you could talk forever on?

Too Many Options!

The weekly “Sister Night” has returned on Tuesday nights!

Over the summer, our weekly sister dates don’t happen as regularly for a variety of reasons. Yet, we both know that as soon as fall television starts back up we will find our way into each others’ arms again.

For none other than our Biggest Loser tradition! For the past few years, Heather & I have had the tradition of her coming over for dinner followed up with some time on the couch to catch The Biggest Loser, eat ice cream, and watch crazy workouts and transformations happen before our very eyes, while also chatting it up during commercial breaks. Even as we both feel the show has hit some lows, we can’t stop watching and give up our weekly tradition.

Last night went much the same route as any other Tuesday night. Heather arrived for a delicious dinner of my favorite enchiladas.

 

Then, we worked together to put the kids to bed before settling in for our nightly programming.

We both had some skepticism with this year though. The whole Anna Kournikova as a trainer thing didn’t seem like the best move for the show. As expected, she didn’t really contribute much and annoyed us. Although, to her benefit, she annoyed us less than we anticipated.

We already love the new guy, Dolvett, though. He kicked some serious butt and I love his training style. The show definitely has places it could improve, but I know we will still watch. Although, I must admit…it’s hard to stick with The Biggest Loser.

There are too many other great options on Tuesday nights!!!

glee

Obviously, as a musical lover, I adore the show Glee. They inspire most of my running music, after all! Plus the carefree drama and goofy plot lines make me smile.

parenthood

In all honesty, I think the show Parenthood is the best television drama I have seen in a long time. I have been hooked since episode one.

new girl

I haven’t watched this one yet, but I have it recorded. I really like Zoe Deschanel and think the show looks like a cute one. I could easily see myself getting sucked in. I probably shouldn’t start watching. But I know I will.

It really seems like all my favorite shows come on on Tuesday. At least I know I have some fallback should the new set-up of The Biggest Loser turn in to an utter disappointment for my sister and I. Wonder if I could turn her into a Gleek too??? Smile

  • What’s a silly tradition you have with a friend or family member?
  • Did you watch anything last night? What? Was it good?

It’s kind of funny. I become a certified personal trainer and the first workouts I turn to this week come from someone else. The book came in for me at the library last week and, after flipping through it, I couldn’t wait to give the circuits a go. Making The Cut includes a lot of […]
