Check these out, too...

For the past couple of years, I’ve been using my birthday (which was last week!) as a mini New Year. After the celebrating (this year I went out for tapas), I take some time to jot down new fitness goals. Tops on my list this year? Lifting more weights and going snowshoeing soon.

Because my b-day’s sooo close to the holidays, I also like to brainstorm ways to stay fit amongst all those feasts. Here’s my plan for this year:

Take a tip from Olympic hopeful Katherine Ruetter and avoid making excuses. She’s training for the biggest races of her life—I’m pretty sure I can get up a little early to do some Pilates.

Sign up for a Turkey Trot. I’ve been doing a Thanksgiving a.m. race for years now and L-O-V-E them. Even if you aren’t a speedy runner, it’s fun to jog with other athletes on the chilliest of mornings (when everyone else is snoozing).

Exercising in the a.m. Fall and winter nights can be so busy and hectic, that it’s best to workout and then hit up the parties and cocoa!

Healthy hearts,
Katie A.

Blog it out...How do you plan to stay healthy this season? Do you ever use your b-day to reassess your goals and resolutions?

Try waking up five minutes early for some crunches and push-ups, you'll start the day out fresh and you won't be losing any time!

MOD I got my crush's # from my friend A. She got it from an English project w/ him and she is the water girl of his football team. He didn't give it to me directly so will he think it's wierd if i text him? If i do end up texting him what could I say? I don't have and classes with him... Also: What are some exersizes for thighs like to get them less big. They aren't fat..just too muscular! Thanks!!! -KT

Hey chica, yeah it might be a little weird if you text him, especially since he won't know how you got his number, Maybe you should try talking to him first, maybe before or after school, and then text him. Exercises build up muscle then don't take it away, so there isn't anything you can do to make your legs less muscular. You can make them look less muscular and more softer, but wearing flattering pants and skirts.

GO VEGETARIAN! For more info, request it at my profile Smile
Save the animals, be healthy, and stop global warming by going vegetarian. I have been a vegetarian for a year and 5 months.What is it? A vegetarian is when your diet contains no meat. How does it save animals? It obviously helps to stop the slautering of animals such as cows and chicken. How can you eat them when they are so cute (they are your friends).How does it improve your health? It cuts out lots of fat and chlosteral and records show that vegetarian have a lower risk of obesity and diseases.Plus, reduces your chance of diseases and cancer. How does it stop global warming? Lots of energy is used in meat factories and butchering. The factory also creates pollution. It also kills trees so there is room for farms that kill animals for profit. Please help and go to petakids.com or my profile! Thanks for reading this! -Aubrey

~~~MOD~~~ Ok so my mom's boss has this really cute son who goes to my school. We used to be like really close, but then he got a girlfriend. For some reason she doesn't like me at all! How do I get close to him again without ruining his relationship with his gf?

Hey, I would just be casual when you talk to him. Start slow and talk about everyday things like movies, music and tv shows. Be friendly but not too over-bearing and I'm sure it'll work out fine!

~~~***MOD***~~~ What would I say, like how do I make the first move? Sorry I'm just not used to this

Hey, I would just be forward and honest. Say, "I've got a little crush on you and was wondering if maybe you felt the same." Ask your friends for some advice, too.

~~~***MOD***~~~ I reallt lie this guy, and im pretty sure he likes me too! What can I do? I don't know if I should make the 1st move, or just wait until he does. And btw he si ALWAYS with his friends!!! Can you please help? Thanks!!!

Hey babe, I say, sure make the first move! Talk to him as much as you can and get to know him better. Be extra flirty and I'm sure he'll get the hint!

I'm in my school's Turkey trot this year. I got 2nd place last year.

Hopefully I'll get 1st place this year. I've been working on my mile time (6:12, finally!)

I've never thought of using my Birthday to make goals. I'm going to start doing that! Lately I've been running a lot more, and now that volleyball season is done, I'm joined the dance team at school. Also, I've been doing the 10 minute workout in GL almost every day.

MOD Okay, so I have a really difficult problem to solve. My birthday is this Saturday and I'm going to have a sleepover. I was going to invite this one girl, but I don't really want to. Nobody really likes her because she hangs out with a bad crowd, and I think I'm the only real friend that she has. The reason why I don't want to invite her is because last year I had a sleepover and she was invited, and she started arguing with all of my other friends! I really don't want to hurt her feelings, but I really don't want my sleepover to be ruined. Please help as soon as you can! -April

Hey girl! Tough call! You can invite her but let her know you won't stand for any arguing this year. Tell her if a fight starts you might have to ask her to go home. Let her know you really want everyone to get along and celebrate your b-day together!
