This review of the Wahl’s Hot/Cold Massaging Gel Pack was made possible by Mom Spark Media. All thoughts are my own. It couldn’t have come at a better time, as a metaphorical pat on the back for all the strength training and running I have been doing. I have a confession to make…I actually like running and I get into periods of time where I love to really get my cardio on! Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred is my weapon of choice at the moment. But, my second confession is that I am terrible at stretching. I know, I know, stretching is so important after any physical activity. I actually had my nails done last week at a nail bar just so I could sit in the massage chair for the amount of time that it takes them to make my battered feet look pretty. Sad, eh?
Not that a massage should replace stretching, but it does help. Their is a very good selection to choose from at www.wahlmassagers.com and this nifty little number prices in at just under $25 (MSRP 24.99) but packs a soothing punch.

I had the pleasure of testing out a BOB Revolution SE Stroller for the past couple of months and it has been fantastic! As someone who walks everywhere with my kids in between rides on the subway and even runs with them, this jogging stroller has been a great addition to our family. I only wish I had pictures of me running with her in the BOB, but sadly I would just dress her up warm and take off – we haven’t had as many warm days as I would have liked so far this year.
I was looking for something to replace our very ancient jogging stroller that served me well but had a few flaws that were telling me to kick it to the curb. First off the huuuge wheels and inability to fold it down without taking off all three tires was a big pain and waste of space for someone living in a Brooklyn apartment. All those old features that were meant to mean a more stable run with baby have been updated (for the better!) on the BOB Revolution SE. The back tires are a much more modern 16″, whereas they were about 20″ on my old model. The Revolution SE also has an easy, two-step folding, lightweight frame for convenient transport and storage – booyah!
Because it is so easy to fold down, this stroller replaces both my antiquated jogging stroller and my everyday stroller. The comfort, and ease of maneuverability means that it works equally well on uneven terrains, indoors and on sidewalks. My Little Miss enjoys the comfort of the padded seats and harness and I like the added safety of the 5 point harness, the all important foot brake and especially the wrist strap. We’ve been able to go from walking and running on the sidewalk, to the bus, up and down subway stairs and even through grassy parks and on the beach – all with ease.
The Revolution SE ticks all the boxes as being the right jogging stroller for our family.
Ok, so these are the photos that started it all. The photos that have netted me compliments about how good I am looking. Including from people who don’t even know that I am trying to lose weight.
It’s not often that I thank Facebook for ANYTHING, but with recent changes to the newsfeed (again!) I have rediscovered old notes that I had written. Remember notes? They are kinda like mini-blog posts/diary entries where you could tag people. Well, lo and behold I found a note I wrote about my very first half marathon from Sunday, May 1, 2010! I thought seeing as I have just completed my third and first ever in the US that it was fitting to share this.I also wanted to point out how truly crazy I am, having run my first hal marathon less than 6 months after completing C25K, plus it was a cross country race!
Oh and not to be a Debbie Downer, but check out my chubby cheeks! I’ve mentioned it before that even though I was running regularly, my nutrition was just not up to par. I was fooling myself into believing that I could eat whatever, whenever because I was running 4-5 times per week. Proof that what you eat and how you exercise go hand in hand. You can’t have positive results if one is missing.Hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane!
First half marathon May 1, 2010 vs April 25, 2013. Can you see a difference?
