I can't believe that we are already almost a week into April. Time flies when you're having fun! Or in my case, when you fill your life with awesome people and entertaining things to do. While I haven't really kept up on all of my goals for this year, I have been staying active. I… Continue reading Banking the Miles: April Update

Race Recap: The Muddogs 10k
Yep, you read that title right. I ran my first 10k today! You might remember the post I made about a month ago about the freezing cold race that I ran on February 15th, The Ice Cube 5k. The Muddogs Race is the third and final race in the Winter Warriors series. These winter… Continue reading Race Recap: The Muddogs 10k
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. I mean... we're talking going from working out 3 days a week at the maximum since August 2013, and most weeks not working out at… Continue reading Month of Movement: Week 3 Wrap Up
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
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
Weekly Wrap Up #2
Well here we are, almost a full week into the New Year. I have been working hard towards my goals for 2014 and have even added some new ones. 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
Ready To Go!

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: Eating Smart vs. Dieting
I would be lying if I said I didn't watch what I eat. Call it pseudo-dieting if you will, but I keep a food and exercise diary at MyFitnessPal.com. I find it more interesting to see whether I am getting in the nutrition that I need - vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc. - rather than watching… Continue reading Keeping It Real: Eating Smart vs. Dieting
Keeping It Real: My Body Role Model
When Titanic came out in 1997, I was young and impressionable. I fell in love with the movie and to this day I still watch it every time it comes on. It's more the history of the tragedy that I connect with than the star-crossed lovers. I always thought it was so silly that two… Continue reading Keeping It Real: My Body Role Model
What I Ate Wednesday #5
Well, this is embarrassing. I had Wednesday off this week. I spent the entire day doing chores around the house - I cleaned my kitchen, dining area, and bathroom. I made a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner, and planned to blog about it on Wednesday. But... by the end of my busy, productive day off, not… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday #5
