(I’ve been waiting to name a post that!) Today has been so FULL of fun and business. I really cannot believe that I need to leave the hotel at 7 AM tomorrow to be on The Today Show with Meredith at 8:35 (my spot will be 4:30 minutes long!). Yippee! I feel excited and blessed… [...]

Hello from NYC! The view from my hotel: Buildings, building everywhere! I thought it would be fun to really go into detail about all the stuff I’m doing in NYC so y’all can see the behind the scenes action. Lots of meetings and running around in flip flops with high heels in my hands [...]
Did you miss it? “Blogging Changed My Life!†*Squeeee!* I’m taking off for New York City this morning. To say that I am excited would be a huge understatement. Moment of “realness:†I am also really, really freaking nervous! Why am I going to NYC? Well, I’m going to be on The Today [...]
My suitcase is (almost) packed for New York City! Now I just have to jam everything in the actual suitcase. Truthfully, it wasn’t that hard to pack because I’m only going to be up there for 48 hours. I’ve got enough options! For once, I’m not bringing workout clothes on vacation. I really enjoy [...]
Well, so far, today has been a whirlwind. I actually spent the morning shooting b-roll footage for The Today Show segment (which will be on Thursday at 10 AM). This was a last-minute addition to my schedule, and although I am HAPPY to comply with pretty much anything they want, it threw a total monkey [...]
I started to read healthy living blogs in the winter of 2007. I stumbled upon Kath’s blog first and found other women with similar interests in her comments section. I was a voracious commenter (“CaitlinBo†<—even before we were engaged! Don’t tell the Husband!) and loved interacting with the bloggers and other readers. I [...]
One of my goals for this week is to try to maintain a semi-decent workout schedule. One week off won’t ruin my cardio endurance, but it will mess with my sanity – I need my sweat time! It helps center me, gets me away from the computer, and reduces stress. Thankfully, Jen and I [...]
Wooo to the hooo! :) Today is a crazy day for me, but that’s a GOOD thing. I decided to detach myself from the computer and walk to a nearby deli for lunch. The Husband and the pups tagged alone. Which means I carried Maggie several blocks. (Showering, like cooking my own lunch, is currently [...]
Today kicks off THE biggest week of my life, without a doubt. Why is this week so special? Well, the Operation Beautiful book is being released Tuesday, I’m flying to New York City on Wednesday, and I’m going to be on The Today Show at 10 AM on Thursday. Hold on – it’s going to [...]
Orlando blogger + friend Katy was in town today, so we met up and headed to a local blogger brunch. Diana was hosting a true Southern brunch (complete with mimosas!) for Katie, who recently moved to town. The spread: The BEST: The action: My plate was overflowing with goodies! Such a flavorful [...]
It’s a chilly and dreary day here in Charlotte – I LOVE IT. After weeks of 90+ degree weather, this sub-70 day is welcomed with open arms. Breakfast on my very cool patio: A yogurt mess bowl, which contained: 1/4 cup oatmeal 1/4 cup granola 1 tablespoon chia seeds 1 cup Stonyfield Farm [...]
