Are you enjoying a long weekend for Labor Day? I hope so! We debated going out of town for the weekend, but ended up staying in Dallas, mainly because a weekend full of no plans sounded SO good ... and it is! Every once in a while, I think we all need a few days to...
The good news about less-than-stellar races (like The Hottest Half last Sunday) is that they really fire you up and make you want to prove yourself (to yourself, of course!). I have to say, after a summer of running just for fun, I may have been bitten by the race...
A few of you have written in with suggestions for a post on how to control your snacking. To be honest, I've avoided a post like this (until now) because it's something I don't think I've completely mastered - I still struggle with late-night snacking when I'm...
How is your 30-Day Ab Challenge going? I'm already feeling the burn! If you haven't joined in, it's not too late! It is too late, however, to write a real Work Out Wednesday post today (it's in the very wee hours of the morning as I write this, but I'll wait to...

I’ve spoken several times about reducing the added sugars in your diet and the harms of consuming too much sugar. But does that mean you should replace all the added sugar you’re currently consuming with artificial sweeteners? I haven’t yet dedicated a post to...
When it comes to food, nothing says "summer" to me like berries (OK, and ice cream ... and tomatoes and basil). I love berries so much that when I developed a temporary allergy to them at 2-years-old, I convinced my unknowing grandmother that the only thing I was...
