Live Fit and Sore!
Live Fit and Sore! was created to inspire and support others who have come to the realization how important overall health and fitness is and want to make the commitment to change.
What’s with the Live Fit and Sore Name?
The title comes from Livestrong!, Lance Armstrong’s cancer foundation which I turned to for support during the beginning of our cancer journey — so instead of copying them using live strong — I live fit! And sore –well if you workout the way I workout, your muscles are sore a lot– but this lifestyle will also help you soar to new heights –hence Live Fit and Sore! As a woman who has worked hard to transform my life -I know firsthand how hard it is, but I know it is worth it. And, because I feel so great – I want to inspire others to start their own journey to living fit and sore!
I regularly blog about my workouts, research & information about nutrition, fitness news, cancer research & information, and anything else that comes my way! You will see information about beauty and fashion as well because a big part of living this way includes taking care of you! And I also do reviews of products, places and websites that are helping others live fit and sore!
Livestrongnsore has an active following on Twitter and 1140 Friends on facebook.

I love your blog! I am part of the development office at the Arizona Cancer Center at the University of Arizona. I just saw Beth Jacobs speak this week on her VIt D research and its possible impact on colon cancer. Beth is an absolute rock star here. (She received her PhD from the UA in 2001) She welcomes questions and comments about her work so if you’d like to reach her, let me know.
Very inspirational and moving story. My dad recently received a similar diagnosis, and it’s certainly an experience that has made our family reflect on our lives and values. Keep up the great work!
I’m also moved by your inspiring story and your journey towards vibrant health. One of my dearest, oldest friends is a colon cancer survivor, who is also finding his way to the best of health and fitness. Thank you for being a voice for sound nutrition and lifestyle choices.
