Day 2
Day 2 tips - Write it down, basically make a food journal to keep track of what you're eating. This is really hard for me to do because it just reminds me of my super restriction days and I can't help but rebel and want to act out threw a binge. I may give it a whirl, but I'm not sure. Day 2 Plan ... Read More about Day 2
Day 1 – Lesson Learned
So, I learned a lot in Day 1 of the 21 day makeover. - Planning is good! I haven't been planning my meals so it was different to already know what I was going to eat. What did work was I had food that needed to be eaten before my planned menu and I didn't want it to go bad so I changed it up a bit. ... Read More about Day 1 – Lesson Learned

Day 1
I actually decided to make today Day 1 since I didn't have a lot of the food I needed on hand yesterday and ended up eating very random (and not necessarily healthy) things. I'm gonna post the menus the night before or in the morning so there is a set plan for each day. Day 1 - Menu B: high fiber ... Read More about Day 1
21 Day Body Make Over
I came across this special issue of Shape yesterday at a bookstore. It is a 21 day plan to makeover your body. Normally I think magazines tell you stuff you already know or just give you a few random tips, but this is a little different. There are tips for each day, a menu, recipes and workouts! ...

Wedding Photographer
We are working with a limited budget and time frame for the wedding. The photographer is one of the more expensive costs for a wedding and I want great pictures, but I don't want to spend half of my budget on it! Money Saving Tip: Place a local ad or ad on a website for a newer photographer or ... Read More about Wedding Photographer
Melting 2x
It was raining AGAIN this morning when I woke up, but I was determined to not let that stop me. Actually by the time I went out to run it stopped and didn't start up again until I was less than a half mile from home :) I think people around my neighborhood think I'm crazy for running in the rain. ...

Candy is gone, but no pics to prove it.
It was pouring this morning, so I didn't run and went to the gym instead. I really don't like the gym so, you know it had to be raining pretty hard to get me there as a last resort. Then, on the way there I saw a guy running and I was sad :( He's way more hardcore than me! I ended up doing that step ... Read More about Candy is gone, but no pics to prove it.
The good, bad and ugly Weekend Eats
Sorry I have been MIA. I was in Big Bear, CA this weekend. We actually were going up to Big Bear (BB) on Friday night and had to turn around because there were car accidents and the traffic was delayed 4 hours! Boo. I wish accidents are avoidable. So, we went back home thinking the trip was ... Read More about The good, bad and ugly Weekend Eats
Happy Valentine's Day!
So, the surprise for Ben was a singing telegram in the form of a Gorilla! Ha. I thought he would think it was hysterical, but he just ended up looking embarrassed and annoyed. Boo. I honestly thought he would be laughing and dancing around with him. Oh well, I tried. Now he says he is going to get ... Read More about Happy Valentine's Day!
New running Gear and Contests
My running shirts are disgusting. Seriously, how can I put this without grossing you out? I can't. For some reason the armpit area of my workout clothes always turn yellow. Apparently I have acid sweat. It's embarrassing. Also, sometimes in the summer I will Mystic Tan (in the spray booth) and I ... Read More about New running Gear and Contests

The Book of Ayurveda
I picked up this book on Sunday from a local yoga studio that I've been going to. I have heard a little bit about Ayurveda in the blog world and am curious to learn more. I found out my dosha type is Kapha. The book has a lot of great info and a big list of foods you are "Okay" to eat and foods you ... Read More about The Book of Ayurveda
It started out so well…
I started out my day with a very healthy and happy run and breakfast : Lunch was super good too. I discovered this lunch yesterday after a disappointing Lean Cuisine pizza lunch on Monday. I had a turkey sammie, apple, carrots and a Kashi bar. After this meal I am super satisfied. I calculated it ... Read More about It started out so well…
What's the point?
Now that my training is over for the full marathon I kind of feel like, "What's the point?" about my runs. I am not setting out on a run with a specific mileage goal. I'm basically just running to run. Most of the time that's okay, but it is hard to make myself run when it's so cold outside and I am ... Read More about What's the point?
