Thursday Thursday!
On Tuesday, we went to Mas to celebrate our anniversary. Mas is one of the few Spanish tapas (small dishes) restaurants in the area and it’s quite tasty. We wasted no time and began drooling over the menu, picking out tons of creative dishes. The food was delicious. My favorites were the salad, the artichoke […]
Creative Ways to stay Active
Today I present you with an awesome guest post from Emma Green with the Treadmill Review Guru. Emma writes about staying fit and today she’s going to share some ways to burn some extra calories throughout the day. She has a great outlook on making fitness applicable to anyone, even if you don’t have time for the […]
Inspiration on the Treadmill
I loved everyone’s comments about running tips from yesterday’s post! After work, I went home and jumped into my workout clothes before getting too comfortable and headed to the gym with my iPod packed with new songs. Suffice it to say, going to the gym straight from work is the best because I’m ready to […]

Happy Monday afternoon! I’m currently having issues with my iPhone and it is a little troubling. (Side note, I’m a bit of a tech geek and I actually first started this blog as tech news until I found myself more interested in health and fitness blogs and topics.) 😎
Weekend Eats!
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was full of delicious food. On Friday evening, Lee and I went to our favorite little restaurant, Vinny’s, for dinner. He got here a little after 7:00 and we were both starving. We started our meal with spinach artichoke dip as an appetizer so we wouldn’t be grouchy […]
Enjoying the Day
Who’s excited it’s Friday? Me! It’s restaurant week in the city I live in and so I’ll be sampling some delicious foods at some local restaurants. Speaking of fancy food, 😉 I whipped up a salad last night for dinner that was full of flavor.
Peanut Butter Lover
I’ve been on a major oatmeal for breakfast kick for a couple weeks. Something about the cold weather makes a warm bowl of oats a pleasant way to wake up. Just kidding- my food only dreams of being so pretty! Oh well, at least they taste good! Check out the pretty oatmeal link for tons […]
Gym Membership
I went to ACAC, one of the local gyms in my area, last night and it was glorious. Okay, that may be an exaggeration but it was pretty nice to work out in a real gym with a bench, pull up bar, box stand, stability ball, and hundreds of other workout tools available at my […]
Healthy Snacks
Last night was a cooking kinda’ night. I wanted to make some things that I could snack on for the week that were healthy and tasty so I opted for some homemade popcorn (if you can call popcorn homemade) and LaraBars (definitely homemade). For the popcorn, I just popped the kernels in canola oil over […]
Breakfast First?
Good morning and happy marvelous Monday. My alarm went off at 6:15 this morning and after 30 minutes; I managed to make it over to the gym. I completed a light workout but at least I made it. Afterwards, I enjoyed a hot bowl of oats. On the mornings that I make it to the […]
A Karaoke Night
One of my best friends, Sara came over last night for dinner and drinks. We decided to cook a healthy version of stir fry, which we used to make all the time in college. It’s also a great meal to throw in whatever veggies you have on hand. Sara was in charge of the veggies while […]
Good Morning gym, Goodbye bed
This morning I woke up and headed to the gym around 6:30am. I really have to commend all of your early bird workout folks because it is so difficult to do. I just love my bed too much. I must say I’m always so happy after my morning workout. It really gets my day going. […]
