Thirty Things Before 30: #12

12. See the Chicago River turned green for St. Patrick's Day. This was actually a second round of #23 (Go On a Road Trip with Friends). And such a random Thirty Before 30 accomplishment, too. Last month, at our Dinner and Discipleship meeting (a Catholic young adult group that I am part of) we realized… Continue reading Thirty Things Before 30: #12

What I Ate Wednesday

What I Ate Wednesday: Road Trip 2015 Edition

For this "What I Ate Wednesday" I thought I would take a little trip down memory lane and reminisce on all of the wonderful food that I had while on my road trip this fall.

Goals for 2016

It is that time of year again! The New Year, and with it comes the resolutions. Something that I teach my patients about as a dietitian is setting SMART goals. So what is a SMART goal?

Keeping It Real: My Goals for 2014, Accomplished?

So here's my list of goals for 2014, minus the ones that I decided not to accomplish earlier this year.  I finished 10/27 of last year's goals, not too shabby!  I'm ready to start a new list of goals for 2015.

My Goals for 2014: June Update

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: June Update
