Happy third anniversary, blog! [source] I don’t remember exactly when it hit me that I wanted to blog. I had lost 150 pounds and felt I only scratched the surface of my potential for holistic health. I had all of these questions about my health, my body image & society and wasn’t satisfied with the [...]

Hey guys! I was thinking of the concept of biographies today and giggled as I thought about how absolutely boring my biography would be.  I mean, really, it should be required reading for high-security prisons because it would totally lull inmates to sleep with it’s calm and boring descriptions.  Every biography needs a climax or [...]

It’s Friiiiiiddaaayyyy and a long weekend!!! <— that’s me shouting with glee if you couldn’t tell! Instead of writing an actual post this morning, I’m going to draw your attention to a write-up about my twin and my health journey here at the Skinny Scoopers’ website.  Hope you enjoy it! In the News MSNBC‘s “When [...]

First things first!  The Give Away winner is Lora from Honey Nut Lo!  Congrats! TGIF! Woo-hoo!  What’s up, guys?  Yesterday was a crazy day I tell you! I got up super early to do an hour of strength training, then I packed some snacks since I knew I would be training at work for 5 [...]

Hi guys!  How was your weekend?  My weekend was pretty typical — took my niece to the beach and had a very long, but super productive, band practice! In terms of my slumptitude — it’s waning.  I took the weekend off from running and am now feeling more inspired to get back on track this [...]

Edited to add additional give-away Hi guys! Confession:  For the past week or so I have gotten more lax on my eating.  Remember that video post here where I gave my oh-so-insightful advice never to eat a cookie the size of your head?  Well, I ate a cookie the size of my head.  And then [...]

Hmm I think I meant “flash by you any day,” but saying I’d “flash you” is just plain fun (but so *not* true!)! If you’ve seen my recent challenge updates, I’ve been rollerblading… a lot… How does an avid runner who usually shuns other versions of cardio as “frou frou” bring herself to rollerblade? Umm…it’s [...]

Now that my whine-fest is out of the way, I can truly honor the delicious foods I’ve been eating. Enter, the tofu-lentil mash-up tacos… Tofu is a relatively new product to me in terms of preparing it myself.  Each time I’ve made it, I’ve used this amazing recipe.  For the sake of novelty, I tried [...]
