A rainy weekend called for laying low. Friday night was date night at one of our favorite restaurants for fresh seafood, Seamore's. It's always hard to get a table there but Summertime is usually less busy at most restaurants so we had no trouble on a Friday night. Saturday I hit the beach for a few hours before the rain started and Sunday we had a couples Baby Shower in Long Island City (LIC), … [Read more...]

Let there be no doubt about it, I love running. If you've read this blog for any length of time or know me personally, you know this.  I've trained for triathlons of various distances, marathons, half marathons and I regularly run New York Road Runner races.  But what works for us at one time in our life, doesn't necessarily work for us at others. I've found that to be true of … [Read more...]

Among the more popular is the question, "why am I always hungry?"  There's no magic answer, but these are a few … [Read more...]

Tonight I'm off for 2 weeks to Italy and Greece! To say I'm excited is an understatement, but before I can bask in the sun, sand and surf, I have to pack! I've always been a serious over-packer and because of it -  truth be told, I dread packing, but I can't leave without a few summer must haves. With practice and effort, I'm getting better at taking only what I need. Less is really more … [Read more...]

  This post is sponsored by Meta Appetite Control. All opinions are my own.  Summer can go one of two ways. You can have a healthy summer and take advantage of the warm weather and fresh produce or you can lush it up and go nuts on rooftop happy hours and Hamptons share houses. For those who are interested in the former, I met with Good Morning America anchor, Michael Strahan, and … [Read more...]
