My friends–I have really stuck to DIY and home decor this year and while I love it, I’m feeling more and more impressed to share with you another daily endeavor I’ve been passionate about for awhile…health and wellness. It first started nagging at me when I started thinking about how I wanted to be as…

Staying Hydrated this Summer
This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Brita, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #BritaOnTheGo http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV We had a soccer game on Saturday…along with 4 million other kids in the world. Soccer is THE sport, am I right? But my son loves it and…
One Small Change Challenge! #onesmallchange
Good morning! Last week I was listening to the radio (wow–do people still listen to the radio? I do!) and I heard them say there’s a new study that says people will lose more weight making one small change to their lifestyle than doing a strict regimen. I have no idea if that is really…
I Ran a Half Marathon!
So I did it…I ran a half marathon. And just four months ago I couldn’t even run a mile. And I did 13.1. I wish I felt a little more impressed with myself, but I guess I’m just that person who can never be satisfied. But it’s what keeps me going, keeps me motivated to…
Running Basics: What I Do When I Run
If you’ve been following along on Facebook, you know that I hit a new milestone yesterday…10 miles! I ran 10 miles yesterday in 1 hr 50 minutes. That’s not super fast, but it averages about 11 min pace. I definitely got slower as the miles went by. But just thinking about two months ago, I…
Albion Fit $50 Giveaway
When I first started running, I would wear old tee-shirts and some running tights. I knew there were better options for tops for running, but I didn’t really want to spend the money. So when Albion Fit contacted me to try out some of their fitness clothes, it seemed like the perfect time. I had…
Running a 5k in One Month
Last Saturday I ran my very first 5k. Seems kind of crazy that I’m 29 and just now running my first 5k. The truth is, it never occurred to me to even do one until now. A 5k is 3.1 miles. It’s not really that bad. But I wanted to run the whole thing straight…
Training for a Half Marathon.
Yesterday I was determined to actually write a worth-while post. It was great–full of handy tips and tricks for travelling with young kids. And then it got erased. Completely. Gone. I don’t have the energy to re-write it at this time so I think you’ll have to google that topic until I do. Instead I’m…
Weigh-In Wednesday #3
Hmmm. Looks like I’ll be fat for awhile. I took a poll on Facebook and seems like most women don’t lose weight while breastfeeding. How is this so? Everyone always told me they lost weight because of nursing. My mom said the lowest she got solely from nursing was 109 Lbs. Seriously?! Here’s how my…
Weigh-In Wednesday #2
Oof–I had a bad week when it comes down to eating. Here’s the thing…the second I find out I’m pregnant, all my resolves to diet and exercise go VAMOOSH! I do not know what it is, maybe it’s just a basic survival instinct. Basically I lose all self control and eat whatever the heck I…
Nothing and Everything is Possimpible
You may have noticed that the number on my little weight loss ticker has slowly been getting lower. Yay! I personally am not completely satisfied with the way I’ve been working out, simply because my life is in disarray and exercise just has to be squeezed in when I have the time and energy…wait, isn’t…
D-Day (D=Donuts)
I was pretty sad last night. Sad, frustrated, and disgusted with myself. Why? Well here’s a little story about my day… I woke up yesterday morning (to my two-year-old singing “Happy Birthday” at the top of his lungs–and no, it’s no one’s birthday) and for breakfast I made us some eggs…two eggs cracked and supplemented…
