And This Is What I Come Home To ….

… Yes, yes. I am blessed with a fabulous fiancé.
But I thought him even more fabulous when I arrived home tonight from an especially difficult Pilates session, and found this:

It was oh-so-fabulous.
I am so very happy that Dan just loves to cook. It keeps my tummy smiling. And look at the presentation! Beautiful, huh?
P.S. Stay [...]

A Chilly Workout Indeed!

Happy Friday! As promised, I have some winter workout tips up my sleeve that I would like to share with you this morning. Now, I am not a fitness expert, but I have been working out for quite some time now — my mom and I did Jane Fonda when I was four — I [...]

Funky Tie-Dyed Yoga

I have had several readers ask me to continue sharing my workout plans and fitness tips, so I figured I would fill you in today with a new DVD that I tried this morning.

Weekend Wiffle Ball and Sushi . . . Oh, Geez!

Wow! What a busy weekend. I did one thing after the other and, before I knew it, it was over. It’s always a bit sad to say goodbye, but it is also nice to start the week off having had a great weekend.

A Day on the Run and Thai Chicken Pizza Delish!

And the 30-Day Challenge is coming to a close! . . .
So, I kicked off yesterday morning with a bowl of All Bran Strawberry Fields cereal and about 1 cup soy milk. The All Bran cereals are another one of my favorite cereals, and I think this one currently takes the cake. It’s yummy!

Recycle, Reuse and Drink Cranberry Juice!

So, Wednesday night did end up coming to a close with two of the chewy-licious brownie cookies from Whole Foods. (; I also had a glass of water with about 1/4 inch of 100% cranberry juice at the bottom.
Just a note: The cranberry water is just my way of jazzing up my water a bit. [...]

Oh, Me, Oh, My … This Darn Computer!

Getting Reacquainted!

I am back in Pittsburgh! What a great week on my own; I learned some fabulous things about writing and myself. And it is amazing how much more quickly you can get work done when you have zero distractions! I am looking forward to applying some of these lessons in everyday life.
A recap of the [...]
