Wow! I’m super-late posting this week’s notes, because … Thanksgiving. David and I spent the holiday in Louisville, Ky. with my family. I mentioned in last week’s notes that I had been there the week prior to do some workshops and events. I then transitioned into family mode for the holiday. We started Thanksgiving Day with a Turkey Trot in… Read More
Every year we spend Thanksgiving at my mom and dad’s house in Louisville, Ky. and every year I come equipped with recipes for healthy Thanksgiving sides. This year, I arrived a full 10 days before Thanksgiving thinking it would give me plenty of time for me to plan my contribution of healthy Thanksgiving sides. Yet, here I am two days… Read More
I’ve been spending the past week in my hometown, Louisville, Ky. The week was busy with career day at my alma mater, a Shake Your Sugar Habit workshop at a local barre studio and my detox with food cooking class. When the weekend came, all I wanted to do was relax, but there was one more item of business on… Read More
You look forward to it all week. The one day when you can forget about the rules and restrictions you put on your diet and indulge in all the foods you normally wouldn’t eat. It sounds good in theory, but is it okay to have a cheat day? If you look around the web, you’ll find plenty of nutritionists in… Read More
Preparing for my two-week trip to Louisville, Ky., my hometown, made this weekend another low key one. Highlights included, meeting David’s cousin who was in town from Canada for drinks Friday night. Saturday was basic: an early Bar Method class and the Pumpkin Spice Matcha Latte at Cha Cha Matcha. Yes, you heard that right. Pumpkin Spice Matcha Latte. Still… Read More
When I woke up yesterday morning, I, like most of the rest of New York City and many parts of the country, was shocked. But, when I scrolled Facebook, something else took over. I was hurt and saddened by so much blame and finger-pointing from all sides. Taking a break from social media was exactly what I needed. Whilw I… Read More
Having run the NYC Marathon twice, marathon weekend here in NYC always gives me major marathon FOMO (fear of missing out). Last year I didn’t have it because David was running, but this weekend I felt it in a big way, yet I have zero desire to run a marathon right now. Somebody please exlplain how that works! The weekend… Read More
Can we talk gym bags for a minute today? I seriously feel like I’ve been on the search for the perfect gym bag for years and can never seem to find the right one. I totally envy those women who can go from gym to work or gym to dinner with nothing more than their purse, but that’s so not… Read More
It was another whirlwind NYC weekend over here which kicked off with a gluten-free dinner at one of our neighborhood go-to’s, The Little Beet Table. We planned a Saturday morning trip to the Union Square Greenmarket and it was everything. We live a few blocks away, but I can never seem to get myself to this market. Mostly because I… Read More
