Tunes For Tuesday (70's Edition) – Michael Jackson
Welcome to Tunes For Tuesday!
This is a record player (for those that don’t know). It played 45’s. Image: Ferrari + caballos + fuerza = cerebro Humano
Welcome to the musical portion of thevalentineRD.com. This series used to be Sounds of Saturday but it seems that people might be busy doing other things on Saturdays and they just don’t have the time to read blogs (or watch videos) so we’ve moved our music to Tuesdays!
Since July is the 7th month of the year, […]
#13in2013 Half Year Check In
Sorry that this post is late today but I’ve been traveling a lot lately. I just got back from the amazing Fitbloggin’ 13 in Portland, Oregon. I have so much to share about my recent adventures that I need a few days to gather up all the fabulousness I’ve encountered on my #secretvacation and at Fitbloggin.
In attempt to be somewhat timely, (since 2013 is already half over – hello July 1st!) today we’re doing the quarterly check in on the progress being made with my #13in2013 goals. My first quarter check in post is here.

Sounds Of Saturday – Olivia Newton John – Physical
Today’s Sounds Of Saturday is the classic “Physical” by Olivia Newton John because this weekend I’ll be attending Fitbloggin’ in Portland, OR.
For all of you who are fitness oriented or if you just like classic ONJ, this one is for you. Enjoy and I’ll see you Monday!
Have you ever seen this video? If so, how old were you when you saw it and what was your reaction?
BTW, the Sounds of Saturday series is changing to Tunes For Tuesday starting in July. It seems people may need more tune inspiration during the work week […]
A Thank You Note To My Fitness Blog Inspirations
Social media has changed my life. Today, I’m a blogger attending Fitbloggin’ 13′. The first blog I ever read was PerezHilton.com (very highbrow, I know) but then I started using Twitter and got hooked deeper into the online abyss. Through Twitter, I discovered a wonderful group of bloggers/Tweeps that provided more than health and fitness motivation, they gave me inspiration to launch thevalentineRD.com. This post is my thank you note to them.
I almost titled this post “To All The Girls I Loved Before” but it sounded a bit creepy/stalker-like because I heard Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson in my head AND because many of these bloggers are women nearly half my age. The title became wholly inappropriate when I added 2 dudes on the list. Bad initial titles aside, I hope that this post is received as a letter of thanks to some fabulous fitness related bloggers who often make my day (and maybe make yours too)! Thank you all!

Wunda Wednesdays – How Pilates Can Change More Than Your Body
Welcome to Week 8 of Wunda Wednesdays! From May 1st through July 1st, I’ll be participating in a 60 Day Challenge with WundaBar Pilates. I’ll be taking 3-4 classes per week in exchange for documenting my progress weekly here on the blog.
I can’t believe that I’m nearing the end of my 60 Day Challenge. I’ve worked my body in ways I never thought I could (even on vacation via the WundaBar To Go Program) and I’ve been having fun attending classes at different WundaBar locations and with different WundaBar instructors. […]
Portlandia, Here I Come! (FitBloggin' 2013)
People love the show Portlandia and even though I still don’t “get” the show (please save your tomatoes for eating), I do know that Portland, Oregon has been called the Brooklyn of the West so it makes me unbelievably excited to announce that I’ve been invited to Portland from June 27 – 30th to attend my first Fitness Blogging Conference, FitBloggin’ 13!
