Chrislip: 'I plan on improving with age'

Another AWESOME week! We started out Oct. 15 with the FIT Challenge at Anytime Fitness in Norwalk. All I’m going to say is watch out fellow FIT Challenger Steve Wilson, I’m gonna make you work for it!

Wessels: 'I’ve got to rediscover my drive'

This past week kind of smacked me right in the mug.  I got to the gym at 5:30 on Monday morning, and went through a pretty extensive workout.  I had my bag packed to get to the gym for Tuesday, and unfortunately it was packed for the whole week.  With a late night of soccer mixed in, my body...

White gets sick, misses workouts

This past week was not great for me. I have been sick since Oct. 8. It seemed like it just hit me overnight. I just thought it was a sore throat, but it was not the case. My nose is stuffed. I can't stop coughing and my taste buds are gone. I wish they would return; that would be nice. I was only...

Wilson gets off two meds

Collins bakes cookies AND doesn't even sample the dough

The tree outside my window is now red, the sky is gray and the rain is drizzling down. I love the fall. Makes a girl want hot chocolate, chick flicks and big blanket. Can also be bad though, because I LOVE to bake, and this is the beginning of baking weather. Halloween treats, to Thanksgiving...

Chrislip: 'Careful what you wish for'

This past week we started surf training, oh my. I must say my body has never moved like this. After completing my 72-lap goal Oct. 9 (one mile YEAH), the next day my YMCA personal trainer Joyce Niedzwiecki had completed her research on training for surfing, and I was the guinea pig. Well my back...

Healthy, spooky, jiggly treats fit for Halloween

I discovered the inspiration for this recipe ages ago in an issue of the Australian edition of Vogue, a magazine I tried to hunt down as often as possible because it had a consistently innovative food section.
