Say Goodbye to the Pie!
The Passover-Lent-Off Smackdown!
It’s on! Are YOU IN???

Ok, just when you thought Bootcamp was over…here we go again…with yet another fit challenge. It all started with that Lisa. She challenged me to a little competition. Who could lose the most body fat during Lent while giving up one vice. She was claiming candy while I was claiming…NOOOOOOO!
Jumpcut 24 hours later and I [...]

BOOTCAMP: THE END
WARRIORS! Come out and play-ay!

YES, that is me doing a pull up – the results of 12 grueling weeks working out with the best personal trainer I know. I met Ray 10 years ago as I was embarking on shooting a wedding special. Getting married seemed so confusing the only way my husband and I knew how to navigate [...]

Bootcamp Week 11
The Flab Suit is Shrinking
& My Butt’s Lookin’ Goooood!

Firstly, please note above picture is of my belly while SITTING DOWN! We ladies know that when you stand up you can suck in it, notsomuch when seated. My jiggly bits are a little less jiggly and my flab suit is beginning to shed. Almost 4 months after the birth of this incredible creature pictured [...]

Week 10
Me, Michelangelo
And the butt on top of my butt.

At the ripe old age of 15, I decided High School was a bore. I was always a very good student, but I was ready to explore the world, so I marched into my guidance counselors office and declared that I wanted to graduate early. I was in mostly AP classes, so, she said, this [...]

Bootcamp Week 9
How I lost 3 pounds in 6 days.

I must admit, last week I was scared. Very scared. Scared of the new rules. But as Dr. Bob tells me weekly in his spin class…You have to get out of your comfort zone to see real change. Lisa and Ray tightened the reigns….Mamas were going hardcore and being that I’m team captain, I had [...]

BOOTCAMP: Week 8
The New Rules. I’m NOT HAPPY!

As a new Mom, I have earned the right to pump and dump every now and again. But as a Bootcamp Mama in the final four weeks….that right has been revoked. Ray is getting serious and Lisa is on our (better toned) butts. The new rules for the last 4 weeks are scary, intimidating yet [...]

Bootcamp: Holiday Smackdown

Ok, so what do you get when you take a whole bunch of my family and put them under one roof around the holidays? The boxing gloves never quite come into play, but you can bet on a whole lotta chaos and a whole lotta food.
My family lives to eat, we are Italian after all. [...]

BOOTCAMP: WEEK 6
Reclaim your waist! (I’m a BEAST!)

Everything hurts. Well, maybe hurt is the wrong word. Or maybe hurts so good is more appropriate. I feel every muscle, limb and bone in my body and even found myself on Sunday ENJOYING Lisa’s Insanity ab routine (watch her in action while my eldest son does his best to distract her).

As I looked in [...]

BOOTCAMP: Week 5: Production

Week 5: Thank goodness I have made it because I am finally seeing results! This week Ray’s rounds were harder than usual, yet somehow those crazy steps seemed easier. Which was a good thing because we shot for the show on Saturday. As you know, we have opened up Saturday’s torture to anyone who wants [...]

BOOTCAMP WEEK 4
Rugburn, Spanx and Jiggly Bits

This week was brutal. Whenever we work out inside, I think, Oh this will be so much easier. Scratch that. Ray was in rare form and tougher than usual. We did countless rounds of burpees, perhaps my least favorite exercise on the planet. Am I praising Jesus or doing burpees? BOTH!!!
Then Ray-Ray The Torture Master put [...]
