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...
Happy Motivation Monday! I'm all about NOT comparing yourself to others, because in a lot of instances, people who do that end up tearing themselves down emotionally and picking out every little flaw about themselves. Plus, it's so much better for everyone if you are...
Hope you're having a great Sunday! Guess what I did this morning? I ran my 20th half marathon! I haven't mentioned this race on the blog (or Facebook or Instagram) since I wasn’t really training for the race, and knew it wasn’t going to be one of my better ones. ...

On Thursday on Instagram, I shared a picture of my grocery haul for the week(end). As you know, Kevin and I both travel for work Monday-Thursday, so our grocery buying habits are a bit out of the ordinary. After eating out for every single meal Monday-Thursday, we...
Happy Sunday - I hope your weekend is relaxing, fun, and healthy! I have lots to talk about today, including a recap of yesterday's Tour de Cure and an opportunity for YOU to win one of my favorite products! Because this is a monster post, I've divided it into 4...
Are you sticking with the 30-day squat challenge? I am, and I'm definitely feeling it from time to time - awesome! If you're participating, you know that today is a squat-rest-day, but I'm not going to let you off the hook that easily :). I've created a new circuit...
I love cooking because it allows me the opportunity to relax, unwind, and think about the delicious food I'm about to eat. I also love talking about nutrition and sharing my knowledge and opinions with others who are trying to be healthy. So, cooking healthy food...
