A while back, I declared a trip to M&M world, Pizza Fusion, Whole Foods, Fresh Market and Total Wine to be “His ‘n’ Hers Dream Day.” Well, folks — we took a very different, very successful crack at the title today. Of course, it didn’t hurt that my mood was brightened on Friday. Lucas had [...]

Confession time. I completed the Walt Disney World Half Marathon on January 9th. I came home, took off my sneakers, and put them in the closet. And that’s where they have stayed. After two years of running and working out at least four times a week, I have temporarily quit. I have good reasons: Physical [...]

It’s a pretty easy — not to mention delicious — proposition. Bid on one of the dozen items up for auction on Diana’s Bake Sale for Haiti, get yummy treats and help the people who have been so devastated by the Haitian earthquake. Here’s what I am offering: Mark Bittman’s Whole Wheat Molasses Bread. Trust [...]

Funny story… I went to yoga this morning, which had me nervous because I’ve really stopped practicing since finishing P90X a few months ago. It was challenging, but a great reminder of why I love yoga so much in the first place. I always walk out feeling centered, open and loose. But at the end, [...]

Meet the new me: That’s what happens when you’re almost 30 and you find two gray hairs in one night. Thank you, L’Oreal. So, Thursdays are my busiest of the week — I’m slammed at work, have to run home and catch up on back episodes of Teen Mom and Law & Order SVU work [...]

Like most of us, my journey to healthy living was paved with obstacles — from injury to special events to lack of sleep to chocolate-covered temptations. For me, it’s a journey that continues to this day…even as a Lifetime member of Weight Watchers and an athlete, I still rely on the tips, tricks and tools [...]

This post is inspired by a dear college friend who made my day with an email and a plea — to point her to places that inspire me in my healthy eating journey. More on that in a moment, but first… I finally uploaded my Stella stats from the half marathon this weekend! And, I [...]

A year ago, when I signed for the Walt Disney World half marathon, I did not officially consider myself a runner. I’d never competed in a race (triathlons, yes, but running events, no), I had only run about 8 miles as my PDR, and I was in awe of people that could actually complete a [...]

Ahhhh, I crack myself up. But here’s why the title was so appropriate. Cue the yum: And the oh, yeah… Add a dash of deeeelish: And you get my dinner. Maybe not the most picture-worthy, but pretty freaking awesome. The brown balls (that’s what she…oh, no, I won’t) are a mashup of two recipes; chickpea [...]
