Recently, I was given the opportunity to do a juice cleanse in exchange for a review on my blog. I had heard of South Block Cafe many times (it’s local to me) and had had the opportunity to try their juices after a Revolve spin class. When I read about Sue and Courtney’s experiences, I…

Subway #pileontheveggies, Maleficent and a Giveaway
I’ve never made a secret of my love for Subway as a recovery food. I had a Subway sandwich after every single race the first time I ran 5 half marathons in 5 days. I loved that I could put a ton of veggies on my sandwich. In fact, that’s the main reason I like…
What I ate at the Fit Foodie Weekend
As a Fit Foodie ambassador, I had the pleasure of attending the Friday night VIP Cocktail Party, the post race finisher’s festival and the brunch after the Boot Camp on Sunday (Boot camp will be it’s own post). I could really make this a really short post. The food was AMAZING. The end. No? Ok,…
Wine’d Down Wednesday
Life is a little crazy here. Temps in the high 90s, school picnics (outdoors!), spending all of my free time trying to get my car fixed… I did manage to run on Monday and lift weights on Tuesday. Now I just need to figure out what I can cram in today! All I know is…
Come eat, umm I mean, run with me at the Fit Foodie 5k!
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on my trip to Venus. I only have three more half marathons to go and they will all be done by the end of May. And you know I can’t stand being without a goal. MCM Mama without something on the horizon results in…
Metabolic Effect Diet and WIAW
I’m not really one to talk about dieting. I’ve been within a 10 pound range of weight since I lost the baby weight with Shoo. But I’m feeling soft and even my running skirts aren’t fitting as well as they should, so I need to make some changes. I know Kim has had a ton…
Confessions of an Evening Snacker
I admit it: I’m a snacker. I always have been. Regardless of how much exercise I’m doing or what my weight is, I feel better when I’m eating every few hours. I’ve tried to stop it in the past, but it seems there is not enough protein and healthy fat in the world for me…
Rungry and Hangry
I admit, I’m not one of those runners who increases their mileage and can eat anything they want. Instead, as soon as I begin to approach 40 miles a week, my body becomes super efficient at using every calorie that comes it’s way. I gained weight when I trained for my first marathon. Did it…
Walking and WIAW
My kids had the day off yesterday. It was called a teacher workday (and it is the end of the first quarter), but it intentionally coincided with election day since many of the schools are polling places. Luckily, both kids got invited to do activities with friends, so it was a win/win day – we…
Mobile Gecko, Man Cold, and WIAW
Hmm, 3 things Wednesday? It’s that time of year again – “Keep the gecko warm” season. You don’t have that at your house??? One of the downsides of having an older house is the lack of insulation. When you put your hand against the wall in the winter, it’s COLD! (And my closet is cold…
Step AWAY from the chocolate
Do you have a trigger food? Or something you always crave when you are stressed (or hormonal)? Mine is chocolate. No surprise there – most women would say the same. Yesterday, I lost track of how much chocolate I ate. And it wasn’t even *good* chocolate – just chocolate chips and Annie’s chocolate bunnies. But…
Breakin’ my little green heart + a giveaway
I’m kind of a crunchy, granola chic. I do my best to follow the philosophy of “reduce, reuse, recycle”. We follow “green” practices for our yard. I’m kind of uptight about short showers, turning off electronics, and walking when we can. Heck, I even work for a company whose mission is to help organizations promote…
