Many thanks to Yoplait for sponsoring today’s story and encouraging me to try Yoplait Greek 100 Whips!! I love dessert! I have a HUGE sweet tooth, as I mentioned earlier this week. I’m also marathon training, so I’m hungry all.the.time. So, when I had the chance to try the Yoplait Greek 100 Whips!, I jumped…

WIAW: Urban Remedy 3 Day Metabolism Kit Review
As I’ve mentioned a couple of times, I recently did a 21 day reset to try and get my eating back on track. I will review that process in a few days, but while I was doing that reset, Urban Remedy gave me a free trial of their Metabolism Kit. So, this week’s What I…
Gatorade Blogger Event and WIAW
As I mentioned a few days ago, I’ve been at a Gatorade blogger event at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL for the last two days. In fact, I’m still at the airport with a few hours to kill before I get home. I had an amazing time. From the bloggers chosen, to the handling…
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…
Call me crazy
So, I’ve started looking at my plans for 2014. In fact, I’ve started registering – 6 already paid for and 1 I’ll be registering for tomorrow. I’m finding two problems: I’m missing 1 race for the 13 in 79 days (found one) AND I’ll have a race every weekend for 6 weeks. I’m not worried…
Five Foods Friday
I was going to call this Five Things I’m Loving Right Now, but then I realized everything I was listing was a food or beverage. I must be hungry… 1. My Sodastream. It took me a really long time to decide to buy one. I have a tiny kitchen with virtually no counter space and…
Do not try this at home
Apparently I’ve perfected the recipe for exhaustion. Ingredients: 1 part highest mileage week ever with 40 miles! (ok, I hit this number one time before during marathon training) 1 part paleo eating (I’m pretty sure my body is in shock from the lack of sugar) 1 part PMS Mix all together and what do you…
“You don’t own busy”
This statement was made by a friend, in response to another friend’s laundry list of all she had to do. It’s become a joke between a small group of us. Whenever someone starts whining about how overscheduled she is, the response is generally “you don’t own busy.” Lately, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed, in large part…
“Fall into Good habits”: a WIAW theme that works
I’ve talked recently about getting back on the wagon. I need to find my good habits again. So, I’ve decided to make some goals for September. 1. Schedule two hours every week day to do work. I’d like to say I’m going to work the same hours every day, but we have client meetings…
Yoohoo! Wagon! Over here!
Virginia has a law about kids starting school before Labor Day, so my kids technically have one more week of summer. However, this morning, they start a full day Martial Arts camp. (Why, yes, I am nervous about Shoo learning how to fight with swords…) So, today our lives return to a schedule. I tend…
NatureBox Review
Back in March (yeah, I know I’m slow) I was contacted by Nature Box and offered the opportunity to try one of their monthly deliveries. I’m never one to turn down free food, especially healthy snacks, so of course I said yes! So, what exactly is NatureBox? I received the March delivery. On the whole,…
I’m “that” mom and I’m ok with it
I had a mom comment recently at school drop off that I was one of those moms who is always in exercise clothes. At first I felt a bit defensive, but then I realized that it just says something about my priorities. I’m “that mom” who drops off her kids, dressed to go running. I’m…
