  I confess, this year I discovered I love going to blogger conferences where I don't know anyone and in cities I've never been to. Of course, this may sound crazy for an introvert like me, but sometimes I surprise myself. Last weekend, I went to the Healthy Living Summit in Minneapolis, Minn. and in May I went to Bloggy Boot Camp in Charlotte, Nc. I'm so excited about this conference that I … [Read more...]

I meant to post this recap sooner but I've been "processing" this race and for the past two weeks coupled with I'm really not one for race recaps. Even after all the processing, I'm not sure what to say about the Athleta Iron Girl Triathlon, so I'll let the pictures and numbers do most of the talking. Two Sundays ago was my third time doing this race (previously called the Danskin Women's … [Read more...]

I get hundreds of inquiries about my health coaching services. And in my five years of coaching, I'v noticed that I always develop effortless relationships with the women who become my clients.

Every single one of those desires has come to fruition so far. My list included things like travel … [Read more...]

I have a "to-do" list that's pages long. Similar, I'm sure, to most of you and the last thing I want to do is add another weekly chore to it, like meal planning. So, I figured why not offer some meal planning inspiration and show you how I plan meals in a matter of minutes.  I'm an advocate of eating at home more often than dining out, so planning is a necessity, but I'm not about to spend even an … [Read more...]

  Have you ever seen those people -- or maybe you're one of them -- taking little green shots at the juice bar? Doing shots at a bar is a little too reminiscent of my behavior in my 20s. Only those shots weren't full of health benefits, but still. I prefer to juice - and take my wheatgrass shots -- at home when I can, so I embarked on a little project of growing my own … [Read more...]
