I woke up at 5:30 with a wee wine hangover. :)  Guess we had a little too much fun at dinner.  The ultimate hangover cure?  A lovely run around Boston! I had 1/2 a LunaBar before our run: Kelly and Meghann joined me for a 4.5 mile run along the Charles River.  It was absolutely [...]

I am so excited to be in Boston with the rest of the Healthy Living Summit planning committee: Kath, Jenna, Meghann, Heather, and Tina! But.... it was a long road to get to Boston, let me tell you!   Our flight was delayed for more than an hour.  By the time our plane took off, [...]

We're in the airport and getting ready to leave!   Bloggers in action:   We're all lined up on the floor with our laptops.  :)  Love it.    Our flight is a little delayed, which is fine by me because I'd rather be on the ground waiting than circling in the air!   This morning and [...]

Seriously!  I am SO excited for the Healthy Living Summit. Kath, Tina, Meghann, Heather, Jenna, and I have been planning this event for more than 6 months!  It kind of feels like my wedding all over again.  :)   For those of you who don't know,  the Healthy Living Summit was conceived because we were [...]

I could barely sleep last night because I'm so excited for the Healthy Living Summit.  The simple solution to ensure I get a good nights sleep in tonight:  Two-a-days!  Exercise always exhausts me in a deep, deep slumber!   First up: running!   Before my run, I had some dates and almonds. I did a 6.0-mile [...]

I'm back in Orlando for approximately 30 hours before I leave for the Healthy Living Summit! AHHHH so excited.   I had a lovely farewell brekkie with my mom before I got on the plane: I had watermelon and toast with almond butter.   She drove me to the airport and I prompty started my [...]

Hi guys!  I have an early morning flight back home to Orlando, but I wanted to share two things with you:  information about the Team in Training Bake Sale and two running success stories!   Team in Training Bake Sale   As you all know, I am training for the Disney Marathon in honor of [...]

I dragged my mother's laptop out on the patio so I could enjoy the sunshine while I attempted to get her computer to work. She doesn't have wireless so I was chained to that one chair.  She hasn't updated her computer since 2001 so it was in need of several hours worth of work, but [...]

I really, really love going to restaurants that cater to vegetarians.  :)  Makes me feel included for once! Veg-O-Rama is a great vegetarian restaurant in Knoxville.  It has such a quaint interior with tons of funky art work. I ordered the juice of the day, which was watermelon with a hint of mint: And for [...]

Sorry I missed the evening post!  I spent the night trying to get my mother's 2001 lap top up-to-date.  She had skipped 37 Windows updates!   We took a break from computer repair to make this lovely dinner: We made Nasoya baked tofu, squash, carrots, and brown rice.  I had a side of watermelon and [...]

My mom suggested we go to yoga class today, and I positivity jumped at the chance!   The Glowing Body is a yoga studio/cafe.  I loved the unique look and feel of the studio. We took a 60-minute class called Heart-Centered Yoga.  Here is the class description:   This class follows the teachings of Anusara [...]

Hi everyone!  Sorry for the delay.  It's been a very vacation-y morning.   :)  Lots of relaxing and napping (yes, already).   I never really ate dinner last night (tummy troubles), so I woke up positivity starving and wolfed down toast with almond butter and watermelon. I thought I was going to go for a walk/run [...]

Tonight, we went on a 40-minute hike up a huge ridge. I really love doing active things with my family versus just sitting around or watching a movie.    Before we left, I tried to eat some dinner: But I just picked at the lasagna, eating the some of the pasta and the veggies.  I'm [...]
