There are a lot of fore four letter words on the golf course.

For example…

• BALL
• BEER
• PUTT
• HOLE
• CLUB
• GOOD

Why the word GOOD you ask? Because this Sunday my brother Joe, my nephew Ryan, and their good friends Craig, Steve, and Mic will be doing a lot of good by WALKING 100 holes of golf for charity.

That’s WALKING 100 consecutive holes of golf, over 33 miles, without a C-A-R-T!

This is the second annual 100 Holes of Golf Marathon, by the way. Apparently, the team forgot about all of the sweat, blisters, and sore muscles from the 2009 event…or maybe they didn’t. They really are a few good men.

This year the guys are on a mission to raise money to help Kaileigh Bryant, a beautiful girl living with cystic fibrosis. As you may know, cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening disorder that causes severe lung damage and nutritional deficiencies…not so g-o-o-d!

The 100 Holes of Golf Marathon will be held at Quarry Oaks golf course so if  you’re in the neighborhood and would like to stop by and show them some love, they’ll be there for about 12 hours! If you’d like to help them raise some dough or help them spread the word, please visit www.firstgiving.com/walk100holes. I know they’d be grateful.

Now I really must go tell some more people about this incredible event…does anyone have the number for E-S-P-N?!

I’m going to start a group called the Stay At Home Shoppers (SAHS). The benefits to the members of this club include: No crowds, no traffic, no lines, and you can shop in your pajamas.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing some of the things I’ll be giving (and hopefully getting, hint, hint) for holiday gifts. We’ll start our first secret SAHS shopping spree with a few things you can find online and will want to order soon so they arrive just in the St. Nick of time. And, now Fitness & Spicers, I give you the first five gifts on…

THE FIT LIST

fitbook: This is the best little fitness journal on the market. I know, I have one that is packed full of my workouts, my nutrition, and my goals. And, for those of you that are wondering, I NEED ANOTHER ONE.

You might buy fitbooks for: Your clients, your personal trainer, your fit friends and your not-so-fit friends, your teacher, your coach, yourself.

Support this small business by shopping fitbook before November 30th and save $1 per fitbook and an additional $1 will be donated to the Estado 29 orphanage to feed the children this holiday season. To take advantage of this offer, go to www.getfitbook.com and use promo code givethanks at checkout.

fitbook junior: Junior is a journal especially fit for, well, Junior. It is a fun way to teach children the importance of balancing healthy food, fitness, and fun into their everyday lives so they create lifelong habits and grow into future Fitness & Spice readers.

You might buy fitbook junior for every kid on your list including: your kids, your kids-kids, your neighbors kids, your carpool kids.

Go to www.getfitbook.com and use promo code givethanks at checkout for that very special offer I just mentioned.

Mix My Granola: Personalize your own blend of granola and give it a name of its own. I made a batch of Fitness & Spice granola a few months ago and my mom made something clever like Joanna Made Me Do It. Nevertheless, it really is fun to order and even better to eat receive!

You might buy Mix My Granola for: Your neighbor, your Uncle Frank, health nuts, the person on your list that has everything, or anyone who wears Birkenstocks (kidding!)

Customize your granola, pick from Mix My Granola blends, or pick up a gift card at Mix My Granola.

Gift Card Kits: Get creative with your gift card-giving by including a few little extras in the package like this golf course example. Another idea? You could pair my, I mean, a fitbook with a Starbucks gift card or a massage gift card…take your pick!

You might buy Gift Card Kits for: Your brother,  your Dad,  your teenagers, your girlfriends, your boyfriends, your hair stylist, your teachers, or your favorite blogger.

The Quarry Oaks golf course gift card kit just happens to be available at my brother’s course in Nebraska, so if you know someone in the area, you are in luck! Just shop for the gift card package pictured here at www.quarryoaks.com.

Lucy Activewear: Lucy has a great line of sportswear and accessories for women. Find great gifts and stocking stuffers in one spot.

You might buy Lucy Activewear for: Your sister, your mom, your friends, your trainer, your gym instructor, or me.

Shop www.lucy.com for gifts and gift cards galore!

That wraps up the first 5 items on the Fitness & Spice approved Fit List.

Now, I’m off to round up some more Stay At Home Shopping ideas because I have to admit…it’s beginning to look a lot like fitness!
