Recently, while driving on our weekend getaway, Andrew and I engaged in the “If I Had A Million Dollars” game. We set up silly rules: no investing, no paying bills, no silly loopholes tha...
This week definitely wasn’t my best in the food or workout department. It wasn’t the worst, either, but due to a trip out of town, the end of the school year and trying to cram in as much...
I’m written a lot about the yoga portion of my 40 Day Transformation, but what I haven’t mentioned is the fact that there’s also a meditation component. It’s harder than the p...
When I was in yoga this week: I was feeling very yogi-like. Sometimes, when I’m going through my sun salutations, I like to imagine other people watching how good I am as I dive forward and gra...
In the past few weeks, I’ve been battling a really bad swath of acne (gross, but true!). It’s been along my chin and jawline, and I’ve affectionately referred to it as my beard of a...
Andrew and I went away this weekend to celebrate his birthday and the end of his finals week and to have some quality time together before he leaves for a big poker trip. I’ve been dying to tak...
I’ve gotten a lot of emails and questions about what exactly I’m doing as I train for my half marathon and for some more details about my training process. While I will definitely still d...
One thing I didn’t mention in my Paris round-up post is that I had a moment when we were at the Sacre-Coeur. It started when we climbed the dome at the top of the cathedral. It’s a long h...
I wonder what happens when I watch Pretty Little Liars. — This week, both Jezebel and MSN posted about a new study that suggests that the books you read can lead to lasting changes in your life...
via Sunset Magazine Have I mentioned that I’m not really eating dairy anymore? I haven’t? It’s not because I don’t enjoy praising chocolate almond milk in my coffee (delish!),...
Hello, and happy Monday! I’m glad you’ve found your way here, either from Just A Titch, or some other random Internet rabbit hole. Feel free to take a look at my shiny new categories, per...
In March of 2008, I was bored and looking for something to do with my time. I’d had a few blogs in my lifetime, starting with my very first site ever, Coffee & Sunshine, which I started way...
Recently, the weather has been nice enough for backyard dinners. I’m fortunate enough to live in an apartment with a truly amazing backyard, complete with an orange tree and patio furnitureR...
A few weeks ago, I was having dinner with a friend and I told her (probably in too much detail!) about my current health plans and goals: the way I’m eating, how often I’m working out, et...
Recently, I’ve stumbled upon a few posts by some women I admire that were inspired by this post of Jess at Makeunder My Life. The gist of the post was that there is a lack of transparency in th...
Well, I did it! I ran my first race. It was a pretty great experience, and I’m super glad I did it. As I wrote last week, my Wednesday run was an absolute nightmare. Thankfully, I had two prett...

So, yesterday was kind of A Day. I’ve been running three times per week for six weeks now, and it’s been awhile since I’ve had a good run. Runners, you know what I mean: the kind wh...
Sometimes, I like to give myself helpful advice. This is what I need to hear this week. You don’t have to explain yourself. I don’t owe actual anyone an explanation about who I’m fo...
It’s May 1st, and for me, that means that the countdown to summer is ON. I finish teaching this month (19-ish days in the classroom!) and then have nine glorious weeks to do whatever I want. Ok...
I try to keep the weight loss talk around these parts really positive and uplifting, but I have to confess I’m having sort of A Week. It’s definitely not like I’m “off track&#...
Happy Friday, my friends! I’m a little late with my Friday links, but hey, no one posts on Friday night/Saturday anyways, so now you’ll have something to read tonight or tomorrow. YouR...
