Cancel my membership at my current gym and get a new membership somewhere else (the new place has an indoor track and fitness classes that I hope will motivate me to be more active). DONE before the New Year even started! :) Buy a fitness class punch card for 10 classes each month and attend 10… Continue reading My Goals for 2014: February Update

Month of Movement: Week 4 Wrap Up
I can't believe February is officially over! Although I didn't accomplish my goal of an entire month of movement, I must say I am pretty darn proud of myself. I exercised 24 out of 28 days, and even if you don't count the days where I cleaned instead of doing a workout, I still exercised… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 4 Wrap Up
Month of Movement: Week 3 Wrap Up
Well, this week was my first official week with two no movement days. And while I am frustrated that I missed two days, I am also really proud of myself.

Month of Movement: Week 2 Wrap Up
I can't believe that February is halfway over! My body has been a-movin-and-a-groovin this past week. Here's a summary... Housework. Housework. Ran on the track at the gym. ZUMBA! Plus danced in my living room. :) Ran on the track at the gym. Ran mile outside to get ready for my 5k race then ZUMBA!… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 2 Wrap Up
Month of Movement: Week 1 Wrap Up
So I made it through my first week of my "Month of Movement". I had a lot of excuses to give up - I was planning a party, getting ready for an event, and to top it all off the State came in for our annual survey at work. But I didn't give up. I… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 1 Wrap Up
Month of Movement
I can't believe that it is already February. January flew by! Especially the last two weeks... and I have no blog entries to show for it. I also haven't been using MyFitnessPal and I missed a week of Zumba. Oh and we won't talk about my project 365... :( I have fallen into the resolutioner… Continue reading Month of Movement
Keeping It Real: Companionship
Those of you who know me in real life or read my blog on a regular basis know that I am a dietitian in long term care. You may not know a lot about long term care. You may think of nursing homes, certain odors, and diseases like Alzheimer's when you think of long term… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Companionship
Weekly Wrap Up #3
Another week has gone by - can you believe it? January is almost half over! While I definitely feel myself "slowing down" a bit, I'm still trying to keep up with my goals for 2014. We are still waiting for the state to show up at work, which kinda throws me off. It has helped… Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up #3

This weekend was a productive one for me, even though we have been dumped on with snow since last night. Right now it is looking like… Continue reading Weekly Wrap Up #2
Stuff I Love: Otria® Greek Yogurt Dips
Since I "keep it real" on this blog, I will tell you honestly that I am not a huge fan of fresh fruit or raw vegetables. I know, I know... as a dietitian, I should be raving about how wonderful fruits and veggies are. Don't get me wrong, they ARE super good for you, but… Continue reading Stuff I Love: Otria® Greek Yogurt Dips

Goals for 2014
Here we are again! New Year's Day... and a lot of people out there are thinking about their New Year's Resolutions. New Year, New Me, right? Every year I make a list of goals - I don't refer to them as resolutions. When I was in high school and just starting college, my lists were… Continue reading Goals for 2014
My 2013 Blog in Review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog. Here's an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,300 times in 2013. If it were a cable car, it would take about 22 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see the… Continue reading My 2013 Blog in Review
