FitMama Friday: FruitaBu Review
Saturday, February 2nd, 2008I’ve been trying to clear my pantry of processed, sugary, and fatty snack items. In their place, I’m putting organic, healthy, and natural treats that still taste good (and, actually, usually taste better).
One snack category that most kids love is the “fruit roll-up”-type. Now, there’s a healthier alternative to those neon blue and green stretchy [...]
FitMama Friday: Motion Skort by Brooks
Friday, January 25th, 2008I love running skirts. They’re flattering, feminine, and fashionable. Not to mention that they’re also fun AND functional. In my opinion, they’re more comfortable than shorts (which often bunch up or chafe the inner thighs - I have to mention one exception here: my Roga shorts by Oiselle), more modest than spandex, and more becoming [...]
FitMama: Healthy Snack Options for Moms
Saturday, January 5th, 2008Exercising regularly has many benefits, but we can’t be completely healthy if we don’t pay attention to what we eat as well. The food that we put into our bodies can give us energy (or take it away), can help make our metabolisms, our minds, and our digestive systems work more effectively (or less effectively), [...]

Mom-Owned, Seattle-Based Running Attire Company Takes Flight
Saturday, December 22nd, 2007I ran my first 5K on December 1st. Ever since then, I’ve been running 2.5 to 3.5 miles four times a week around my neighborhood. I have to admit I’m getting bored. Before my feet even hit the pavement, I’m exhausted. I think I’m ready for a new challenge - perhaps intervals to increase my [...]
FitMama Product Review: Mio Drive
Saturday, December 15th, 2007I’ve always been curious about heart rate monitors and, as a new runner, I was thrilled to have the chance to try the Mio Drive, one of the newer exercise watches on the market this holiday season.
Its sleek, understated design and the red, black, and silver color combination is very classy and is likely to [...]
My First 5K
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007I postponed my FitMama Friday column until today because today was the day of my first ever 5K. If you are a regular reader here at Metropolitan Mama, you know that I’ve been training for a 5K using Health Magazine’s Girls Gotta Move Plan…and it prepared me well.
I ran in my first 5K (that’s 3.1 [...]
FitMama Friday: Fashionable Running Attire
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007I’ve been looking for stylish running apparel at affordable prices. Wearing breathable, attractive clothing just makes running better and easier - and it definitely motivates me. I found the GymGirl from SkirtSports and I love it, but now I’m looking for flattering v-neck shirts that are made for active women.
Tell me…where do you shop for [...]
FitMama Friday: Jog Bra Reviews
Saturday, November 17th, 2007As a mother, I feel like exercise is something that I can’t afford not to do. Other things can be put off or delayed, but exercise improves my health, lowers my stress, and prevents too many diseases to name.
So, I’m training for a 5K. I’ve found that running is the ideal workout for me (and [...]
