National Running Day 2015
Good morning to you! Not only is today Hump Day—it’s National Running Day. Last year I shared with you why I run, but this year I thought I would share something fun. Since my last 5K, I haven’t done much running. I’m sure some of you dedicated folks can tough it out, but to me,…
National Stroller Running Day 2015
Short notice here—babies make for busy mommies!—but today I wanted to pop in and share a really cool event that’s coming up on Sunday, May 31: Stroller Running Day! I don’t know about you other moms, but in my early postpartum days, nothing felt better than getting outside for a stroll. Whether it was for…
Why I Hate The Terms "Cheat Meal" and "Cheat Day"
I’ve never been a yo-yo dieter, nor have I over-exercised myself to the point of exhaustion. Nevertheless, even with my own lax nutritional and fitness “rules,” I’ve felt guilt. //via// I’ve felt guilty when I spent too many hours on the sofa watching a Breaking Bad marathon, or, once again, went an entire week without…
For Two Fitness Mother’s Day (Week?) Giveaway!
I hope all you mothers and moms-to-be had a very special day yesterday. Today, I am thrilled to partner with For Two Fitness for an amazing post-Mother’s Day giveaway. If you recall, I wore For Two Fitness apparel through my pregnancy with Baby M and fell in love with their style, comfort, and quality. For Two…
Scenes from the Weekend + Meal Plan Monday
Happy Monday! I hope everybody had as lovely a weekend as we did. The weather was absolutely perfect, and a good bit of our time was spent outdoors (fighting off the giant Alabama mosquitoes, but outside nonetheless). Saturday morning we woke up bright and early so I could run the Lions Club Tunnel Vision 5K….
That Time I Ran My First 10K
Wow—this weekend flew by! At least it was a good one—with perfect, sunny weather and surviving my first 10K. ☺ Early Saturday morning, Mark and Baby M watched me complete my longest run to date (and first competitive run since last April when I was in my first trimester!) downtown in the Azalea Trail Run….
Operation: Movement in March – Week 1
Happy, happy weekend, friends! I don’t normally post on Saturdays, but I’m going to try to do so every week this month. You see, I made a goal for March. I mentioned it last Sunday, but I’m trying to exercise every day this month. So far, I’ve failed (you knew that was coming). I had…
Thoughts on Self Image
The other day I was scrolling through the hundreds of photos on my phone of Baby M, and I thought to myself, “Gosh, this baby is beautiful. He is absolute perfection.” I know I’m not the only mother in the world who’s thought that. In fact, I hope every mother feels that way about her…
NEDA 2015: I had no idea…
When I began my blog in late 2012, I dove into the “healthy living” community with gusto (in my mind, at least). I spent the better part of my (then) slow work days reading food blogs, imagining myself a raw vegan (that didn’t last too long thanks to my deeply rooted love for bacon), and…
