I wanted to run in a race every month this year, but between schedule conflicts and budget constraints, I wasn't able to register for a race in March. I was determined, though, to run a race. Particularly to run a 10k. So I mapped out a route from my house, set my Endomondo to race… Continue reading Race Recap: A 10k On My Own

What I Ate Wednesday # 8
Wednesdays for some reason always seem to be my hectic days. With my new job I work 10 hour days, and on Wednesdays I usually work a late day - so I work from 9:30am-8pm. Long days, and slightly awkward as far as eating throughout the day. Also, with my new job, I have started… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday # 8
Banking the Miles 2015: First Update!
I can't believe that March is almost coming to an end, and this is the first time I am posting about my miles for the year! 2015 has been a busy year so far, and it is only going to get busier. But recently I have really put my mind to keeping active and fueling… Continue reading Banking the Miles 2015: First Update!
Stuff I Love: Toufayan Smart Pockets
I love a good sandwich, and I am always in search of a "better bang for your buck" option when it comes to bread. A lot of times I have found products marketed as "thin" or "fit" or "smart" end up tasting quite like cardboard. Yes, I'm excited that I'm getting a healthy serving of… Continue reading Stuff I Love: Toufayan Smart Pockets
Stuff I Love: Dannon Light & Fit® Greek
As a registered dietitian working with clients that are trying to lose weight and getting ready for bariatric surgery, I am always looking for products for my patients that taste good and give them the best bang for their buck!

Goals for 2015
It is a New Year again, and I have already seen an influx of "Resolutioners" coming to my gym. The aisles of my local grocery store are stocked with protein powders, weight loss shakes, and slimming supplements. I'm even guilty myself of focusing more on fitness in the early months of the year, and of… Continue reading Goals for 2015
Banking the Miles: November & December Update
It has been a while since your "keeping it real" dietitian shared her thoughts with the world. I posted in the beginning of November about how crazy life has been, and it really hasn't stopped. My husband and I have received so many blessings, and at the same time we've been through some really tough… Continue reading Banking the Miles: November & December Update
Banking the Miles: October Update
October and the beginning of November have been a roller coaster for me. I've had some huge ups and even bigger downs, I've experienced every emotion in the last couple of weeks in the most intense form. My diet and my exercise have suffered. I'm starting this week fresh, though. I have lots of reasons… Continue reading Banking the Miles: October 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
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
What I Ate Wednesday #7
I almost forgot about this today! I was trying to think of a creative photo for my Project 365 picture of the day, then remembered I needed to do this. So I captured pictures of what I ate today, plus a bonus! This morning I could have slept in, but I woke up at 6am. I didn't… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday #7
Public Humiliation Update
At the beginning of this year, I posted about the Public Humiliation Diet that one of my friends posted on Facebook. Along with it, I posted my weight, my thoughts on dieting, and my goals for myself. On 1/3/13, I weighed178.4#. I was just barely starting to run again. I was using MyFitnessPal here and… Continue reading Public Humiliation Update
Stuff I Love: Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressing
So I am a big fan of Hungry Girl. I have a few of her recipe books and I get her almost daily emails. I have discovered a lot of delicious swaps for foods and ingredients that might be less than healthy for you through Hungry Girl. My latest, and probably BEST discovery, are the… Continue reading Stuff I Love: Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressing
Keeping It Real: NoBody is Perfect / EveryBody is Perfect
I have a love/hate relationship with my body. I'm sure most women out there... heck, most PEOPLE out there can relate. Some days you wake up, look at yourself and think, "Hoo-dang, I'm hot!" And other mornings, it's more like, "Whoa there, I'm a HOT MESS!" For some of us the "hot mess" days are… Continue reading Keeping It Real: NoBody is Perfect / EveryBody is Perfect
Keeping It Real: Why I’m Not On a Diet
Throughout my life, I have received many comments about my weight, my body. I have had people refer to me as a "bigger girl" or "kinda chubby", I've been called "healthy looking", and I've been referred to as flat out "FAT". As a dietitian, I have had clients who appreciate the fact that I'm not… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Why I’m Not On a Diet
