I Have Moved in With Amphibians . . . and Crickets.

Whew! Moving, well, sucks. Sorry, mom, I know how much you hate that word.
But it does. Suck.
On Sunday, we got all of our stuff schlepped over to our new apartment in Ohio, and we sweated, groaned and struggled to do just that. I have places that hurt on my body that I did not even [...]

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.
On Thursday evening, I went for a run with my brother, Luke, and [...]

Weekend Goodies and a Breakfast to Die For!

Wasn’t the video this morning just fabulous? I loved watching Matt Harding takes his dance moves across the world . . . just totally inspiring.
OK, folks! So, it’s time for the weekend 30-Day Challenge wrap-up. Here goes…
Friday: Lunch was one of the yummiest sandwiches I have ever had — seriously! Dan had marinated a few [...]

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. [...]

Undo Your Belt Because It’s Time to Eat!

I am not one to go crazy with food indulgences, especially during this new path of total health that I am headed down. But I do think there is a time and place to stuff your face a bit.
Last night, I arrived at that spot.
Dan and I went out with a few good friends to [...]

Sweatin’ It Out in Subzero

I don’t know where each one of you is located, but in Pittsburgh, IT IS COLD!! It was down to just 3 degrees before I went to bed last night.
Yikes!!
But, hey, one of the main purposes of Eat, Pray, Run is to get y’all up off of the couch — even when it’s cold!

IT IS COLD.

I write to you this morning with semi-numb fingers, all while wearing two long-sleeved shirts, a sweater, sweatpants, socks and fuzzy slippers.
It’s cold in Pittsburgh.
So, since I am all about this fitness crap, I thought I would lend myself — oh, and you, too! — a little help.

B. My sister is on crack.
It’s true.
She is a crack-smoking, way-too-cheery, swingy-ponytailed, freak.
Here’s the deal. While I have been engulfed in a year of lazy [...]
