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 [...]

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 [...]

2009 was a year of highs and lows — all documented on the blog! It’s so much fun to look back at what I did, especially because from a fitness perspective, this was one of the most successful years of my life. Overall, I’m very proud to have continued to succeed at a job I [...]

Doesn’t technology blow? Ugh…I was working on my laptop yesterday, getting some work done so I could relax on Christmas Day when POOF! The MacBook stopped working! Now, after several stressful hours, I have booked an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar. I’m crossing my fingers — but had to laugh when I checked the [...]

It has been a very busy stretch at work — I normally count on my camera to remind me of what I’ve been doing, but after taking 150 or so pictures during the Secret Saturday adventure, I only took three during the week! And two are from this morning, when I made deeeeeeelish Apricot Date [...]

I learned many lessons during Vegan Week — and the most important one had nothing to do with food. Or, let me clarify — it had nothing to do with eating food. In order to shop, cook and ensure that all my meals were animal product-free, I planned my meals for the week. I went [...]

I was pretty much a waste of space after the half marathon on Saturday — I tried to nap but couldn’t keep my eyes closed, so I curled up in a blankie and watched college football all afternoon. I kept waiting for my appetite to flare up, but it just never happened. Runners, is this [...]

What a day! My full race recap is below, but I wanted to say a BIG thanks to everyone who supported me today on Facebook and Twitter, as well as in real life. The husband supplied me with a sweet I’ve been craving for weeks: And my Vegan Week partner in crime, Michelle, sent me [...]

First, let’s show off some goodies. Like the Amazing Grass that wasn’t — I took one sip and had to dump it. Shudder. Then, my better half: Who was very happy with his breakfast this morning. We met a friend before work (or in his case, before house husbanding) and he got a plate full [...]
