EDITOR'S BLOG: Sibling Rivalry?

This week on G-Life, we’re thinking up new holiday traditions. Last year, I ran my first-ever turkey trot on Thanksgiving. This year, the tradition is growing—my little bro is joining me!
 
I’m actually pretty nervous. What if it gets competitive?
 
Growing up, my brother and I were way diff. He’s quiet, I’m loud. He’s big, I’m small.  Even when we were both on the track team, he threw shot put and I ran the mile. No rivalry in sight.
 
But when my bro joined the Army, he started to run. Fast. Uhh, isn’t that my thing? And now that we’re running this race, there’s a chance he might beat me at my own game. Gulp!
 
Instead of letting the boy step on my track spikes, I’m gonna use this challenge as motivation. Maybe he’ll push me to beat my old time and if not, at least I’ll be doing lotsa cardio.
 
No matter which Abbo wins, it’ll be fun to do something together. But that doesn’t mean I’ll let him beat me without a mad dash to the finish line!
 
Healthy Hearts,
Katie A.

how long would it take to loose that much weight if you excersize and eat right and what are some good excersizes to loose flab on your legs??
thanx!! Smile








You should never lose more than 2lbs a week, so if you wanted to loose 20lbs it would take you 10 weeks! Running can help tone your legs also, or doing squats. <3 Jaime

Low pony tails or buns are cute. Also, you can always spice up a hairstyle by adding a headband. I have a bunch in all different colors! <3 Jaime

*******MODERATORS!********************







The winter weather can do that to you! Try a anti dandruff shampoo it helps with the dryness. <3 Jaime

wat is a good way 2 loose 10~20 lbs.???
and how can you make your legs slimmer like dif excersizes??
thanx!! Smile







First you need to check with your parents or doctor if you need to lose that much weight. A good way to lose weight though is to cut out any junk food, like french fries or pizza. Try replacing those foods with healthy ones like apples, cheese, eggs, or nuts! <3 Jaime

*********************************MODS!**********





This may be hard, but it may be time to find a better group of friends. You don't want to be part of a group that leaves you out! Just think how fun it will be when you make your own new group of friends and you can all do things together! <3 Jaime

i love to run too! except my brother's really not that competitive or sporty, so i would totally smoke him if i ran against him. my town doesnt have a Turkey Trot! i would do it if we had one

label-free♥ on 11/6/2008 9:15:50 PM

Great idea! I ran my town's first Turkey Trot last year! My brother has gotten really good at running and is getting skinnier! He's a great guy! I am also glad that you aren't obsessing over winning, because I am way better at Swimming than running and my brother would cream me...
So even if you're not obsessing over it, I am glad you've set your goal.
KEEP ROCKING!

BookLover4Ever on 11/6/2008 8:28:12 PM

Yeah he can be your motivation to run faster. Smile

MunkQoo on 11/6/2008 6:24:01 PM

O I can see how that could be a sticky situation, but it's great you're so cool with it. I wish you luck on your run, and your brother too! I am personally dreading the day when my bro is taller than me and can start beating me at things! Have fun!
