Does Your Mother Exercise?
It is Mother's Day and here at FitSugar we want to know if fitness for you is a family past time with a matrilineal leaning. My mom is into walking and swimming, and she's even a Jazzercise regular. She inspires me, just as I hope to inspire my girls.

How Mo' Nique Lost the Weight and Why Some Don't Like It
Everywhere I look lately I'm seeing comedienne Mo'Nique. She's got a new late-night talk show on BET, is making the talk show rounds, and is creating some serious Oscar buzz for her standout performance as an abusive mother in Precious. Oh, and also, she's about 50 lbs.
Speak Up: Like Mother, Like Daughter?
Mother's Day may be about bouquets and Hallmark cards, but this year the holiday inspired some thoughts about mothering, the things I learned from my mom, and what I hope to teach my two girls.
My love of baking comes directly from my mother. It is this love of baking that partially inspires me into motion: running, biking, swimming.

Run with your mom.
The Dieting of Mothers Visits Daughters in Eating Disorders
Parents model behavior for their children, whether consciously or not. A recent survey conducted by British teen mag Sugar (no relation to the PopSugar Network) found that a dieting mother can have unfortunate consequences for daughters.
Out of the 512 girls surveyed, ages 12 to 18, six percent had an eating disorder; that number rose to one in 10 among girls with mothers who dieted.
See Mommy Run: Mother's Day Runs!
Before you sit down to your Mother's Day brunch, go for a run with your children or mother. A mimosa tastes much better after running a 5k. I think it is important to run intergenerationally so your kids can see that you are physically active and strong.

Happy Mother's Day!!!
It is not often you hear your wishes, your desires, your life explained by a poem you hear being read on the radio. I heard this poem written by Beverly Rollwagen and read by Garrison Keillor on the Writer's Almanac one morning as I rushed to work, feeling quite overwhelmed by the constancy of mothering. The poem stuck with me and I had to share it with you.
