Pedometer Giveaway Update
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Tuesday, December 02, 2008
Congrats to Jeannie, lucky #55 and winner of last week’s TraQ Any-Wear Pedometer giveaway sponsored by Sportline.
I hope that Jeannie will enjoy her pedometer as much as I’ve liked mine, and that the rest of you will consider adding a pedometer to your wish list and joining me in my quest for steps!
And just so you don’t feel disappointed if you’re not Jeannie, I thought I’d offer you another chance... READ MORE
Stepping Out
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Health on Tuesday, November 25, 2008
As part of my “journey” to a better life with the 3D Plan, one of my favorite aspects of the program is that it recommends wearing a pedometer and tracking daily step count.
Luckily for me, the great folks at Sportline recently sent over a totally nifty pedometer for review. I’ve had pedometers in the past, starting with one that came in a McDonald’s salad a few years back. But this model, the... READ MORE

Posted by Lisa Hendey in Health on Wednesday, October 01, 2008
During the month of October, you’ll likely be seeing a lot of pink, owing to the fact that today marks the start of October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Given that I’m the “old lady” of the Faith and Family Live blogging team, I’m guessing that a lot of you reading this haven’t yet experienced the joy of your first mammogram and may be thinking to yourselves that you can just skip this... READ MORE

Lessons from the Amish
Posted by Danielle Bean in Health on Friday, September 12, 2008
Have you ever eaten an Amish meal? Have you ever wondered why people who regularly indulge in butter, cream, sugar, and carbs of all kinds are not obese?
Turns out it’s because they work so darn hard.
Four years ago we discovered that the Amish maintained super-low obesity levels despite eating a diet high in fat, calories and refined sugar. They key was their level of physical activity — men averaged... READ MORE
Finding Time for Fitness
Posted by Danielle Bean in Health on Thursday, August 21, 2008
I recently came across this helpful article about how busy parents can find time for exercise and fitness.
One of my favorite bits of advice was this one:
Make date night start with fitness together. Hit the treadmill, go for a long walk or jog, play tennis, go on a bike ride: Do something you can do with your partner that builds in time together with exercise for you both.
Why shouldn’t playing a... READ MORE

Wake Up!
Posted by Danielle Bean in Health on Wednesday, July 30, 2008
I really enjoyed this article recently: 50 Ways to Boost Your Energy Without Caffeine
Some of the entries were things I’ve read dozens of times before, but some were actually surprising. Did you know, for example, that being a pessimist might be sapping you of your energy?
Don’t focus on the negative. Being a pessimist may actually be making you more tired. Try looking on the positive side of things... READ MORE
Let’s Make Helmet Hair Cool!
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Health on Friday, July 25, 2008
With gas in California well over $4.50 per gallon, I’ve taken to running errands on my bicycle in an effort to decrease my gas consumption and get a little exercise in the process. Being married to an ER doctor, I always don my bike helmet - even for the shortest of trips. But I’m constantly amazed by the number of riders I see who do not wear bike helmets. The most exasperating instances for me... READ MORE
