I’m a big believer in probiotics. I have taken various ones over the years and have definitely felt better when I’m taking them consistently. And if you do any research, there are plenty of studies out there that confirm the potential benefits of probiotics, such as supporting gut health and vaginal balance. But the hard…

Move More, Sit Less: Keeping your heart healthy with exercise
Confession: I want to be that lady running races in her 90s. While I will totally admit to being a bit of a serial racer and a mileage addict, when I’m being completely honest, I run so that I can be healthy enough to run when I’m older. That’s why I’m partnering with the American…
Practicing Self Care in my 40s
I read an article recently about how self care is not all spa trips and girls’ night outs. It’s more about doing things that make your whole life better rather than trying to recover from a life that’s wearing you down. I realized that many of the changes I’ve been making in my life in…
Green Enough by Leah Segedie – Book Review
Disclaimer: I received this book free in exchange for a review. If you purchase from various links below, I will make a commission. I don’t talk on here often about my crunchy granola chick tendencies. After all, this is a running blog, not a parenting or green living blog. But in my daily life, I…
Upping my supplement game with Intelligent Labs
Intelligent Labs compensated me for this post, but all opinions are my own. I’m one of those people who very seldom takes a supplement of any sort. Not so much because I don’t think I need them, but because I forget to take them. I need to be taking B12 because my number are low,…

#LetsMove at the White House
If you follow me on pretty much any form of social media, you know that on Tuesday I got to attend an awesome event at the White House. I was part of a group of about 150 bloggers who were invited to participate in “A Conversation on the Health of our Nation’s Children.” As you…
Making a Healthy Choice on Busy Days
How is it only Thursday? It feels like this week has been a month long. Of course, I’ve managed to cram a crazy amount of things into the last few days. Seriously, since last week, I’ve gone on an all day field trip, taken Shoo to soccer practice, attended the RNR DC expo, gone on…
Cleaning up my diet + a Kohls Giveaway
We all know that I love to run. And lately (well, until Snowzilla arrived), I’ve gotten back into my old gym habit of elliptical and weights. But judging by the way my jeans are fitting and the number on the scale, the saying “you can’t out exercise a bad diet” is definitely a fitting one…
Holiday Fitness Challenges
I believe in embracing the holidays. I believe in indulging myself during the holidays. You won’t see tips here about how not to overeat at a party or how to avoid holiday weight gain. Nope. Don’t get me wrong – I don’t change my generally healthy eating habits and I don’t treat every event as…
It’s definitely Monday
It’s Monday and my kids are in camp this week. And I’ve already taken the “scenic route” on my way back from dropping off Jones at camp in DC. This is the only week they are in camp all summer. As you might guess, I’m trying to accomplish more this week than all…
The Comparison Trap – do you fall into it?
Everybody knows you shouldn’t compare yourself to someone else. I mean there are tons of quotes on Pinterest telling you not to compare yourself. In face, you can find the quote “Comparison is the thief of joy” with dozens of different design options. But Carla AKA MizFit recently raised the question of whether you should…
