My Husband is slowly morphing into my personal chef. Wahoo! Doesn’t he look cute in his POM Wonderful apron? :) Before the Huz prepared dinner, I met up with Megan for a walk. I haven’t seen her since December, and we had a lot to catch up on. Normally, we would’ve gossiped over a [...]

Two things: In regards to this morning’s post about marathon-related movies, Brooke informed me that Spirit of the Marathon is available in its entirety for free on Hulu – check it out if you’re in need of motivation! A reader named Michele sent me the following e-mail: “I'm moving from Ohio to Little Rock, [...]
The Husband offered to make me breakfast this morning. Score! He cooked up a simple egg and veggie scramble. Plus, two pieces of buttahed toast and a little bit of baked beans. This breakfast totally hit the spot! Combined with the wonderful feeling of waking up in my own bed with my dogs for the [...]
Tonight was the night for WEDDING CAKE! Yes, one year old wedding cake – the top tier. :) It’s been in my freezer since January 3, 2009, and since we were in England for our actual anniversary, we decided to dig in tonight! It tastes as good as it did one year ago! I was [...]
If you’re coming to Orlando this weekend to run the Disney Marathon or Half Marathon and would like to meet up for lunch, check out this post: Healthy Ashley’s Disney Lunch. You’re welcome to come even if you aren’t running! Hope to see you there!
I was reading Men’s Health (so much more informative than Women’s Health, for some odd reason) on the airplane, and an article suggested I try swapping broccoli for bok choy. Bok Choy is rich in Vitamin C. Additionally, Bok Choy packs an anti-cancer punch due to its significant amounts of indoles, a nitrogen compound, [...]
I am SOOO excited to be back home - to my dogs, to my apartment, to my normal life. Vacations are fun, but my real life is better. I screamed my head off when I saw the puppies! We hugged and kissed them, and it felt so good to sleep with one dog in [...]
In 6 days, I will be running my first marathon! I'm doing the Disney Marathon with Team in Training. I'm running the 26.2 miles in honor of my college friend Megan, who was diagnosed with leukemia (for the second time) this summer. Through your generous donations to Team in Training, I was able to raise [...]
Tea at The Ritz was a wonderful way to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary! Hard to believe that one year ago today, I was walking down the aisle towards my "Future Husband"! Times flies when you're having fun. :) It has been a dream of mine for many, many years to have Afternoon Tea [...]
The question I get e-mail the most is "How do you stay so committed to your workout schedule?" It's true that I'm pretty consistent with my workouts, averaging 4 or 5 days a week. But a few years ago, I never, ever worked out with any regularity. That "commitment" question was ringing in my [...]
Tonight, we went to the ballet - I was so excited to see The Nutcracker! Kind of strange to see The Nutcracker after the holidays were over, but I really enjoyed it. I am so impressed with ballet. The fact that those girls hold their ENTIRE bodyweight on their little pointed toes BLOWS my mind! [...]
Whew! I need a beer. :) Or two. It was a crazy day! It was another full day in London that started with a quick breakfast of yogurt, cereal, and banana... And then we made a mad dash to Wembley Stadium - if you haven't noticed, the Husband is obsessed with stadiums and arenas. Parts [...]
I braved the rather shady neighborhood our flat is located in for a 3.0 mile run this afternoon. The best part was I kept seeing people stumbling out of nightclubs at 2:30 PM! I know people in London party hard, but that's ridiculous (OK, not going to lie, the last time I was in London, [...]
Here's New Year's Eve 2009 Recap - it was a blast! Welcome to a new decade! I had an absolute blast last night at an awesome underground club called Bloomsbury Lanes, which was an imitation 1950s American diner and bowling alley. It felt funny to be at a club that was trying to be [...]
