Hi there, and happy Thursday! Time’s a-flying, I tell you. Now that I’ve been back to work a month, I figure it’s as good a time as any to talk about my “body after baby.” All in all, I feel pretty good, although I definitely get more tired during the day. I can’t wait for…

For Two Fitness New Year Giveaway!
Hi, guys! Today, I’m thrilled to partner with For Two Fitness for an amazing New Year giveaway. You may recall how I gushed about and posted pictures of my “Training for Two” racerback tank. The adorable blue top quickly became a mainstay for accommodating my growing belly, and For Two Fitness remains my favorite maternity fitness…
Exercise Benefits + A Give Away from For Two Fitness
Before I started exercising regularly and eating healthily, I thought I was still in pretty good shape. It wasn’t until I started my Bikram yoga practice that I realized how sluggish and moody I’d actually been feeling for years. Being active, staying adequately hydrated, taking time to meditate/relax/enjoy solitude, and eating well, I’ve learned, are essential…
Why run? {National Running Day 2014}
In honor of National Running Day, I thought I’d talk about—you guessed it—running. Side note: it’s also National Cheese Day, and while I could fill post after post waxing poetic about the heavenly glory that is cheese (sorry vegans and lactose-intolerant peeps), I figured a running post fit more into the whole “healthy living” corner…

Weekly Links 04.13.14
Hello, there. I hope everybody is having a fabulous, relaxing Sunday. We’ve had a great weekend; my in-laws arrived Friday night and left this afternoon after a delicious lunch at Ed’s Seafood Shed. Saturday morning I ran the 8K By The Bay, my first-ever 8K. The fog lifted just before the race started at 8:00, and while…
Taking a Break from Bikram…
I didn’t want to do it, but after learning of my pregnancy, I thought it best to take an indefinite break from my beloved Bikram yoga. My last practice was February 9th, the day before my 30th birthday, since I purposely wanted to end my twenties with quality time in the hot room. Looking back,…
Bikram Goals for 2014
We’re probably past the threshold for “My Goals in 2014…” posts, but that’s just too bad for you, dear readers. Although I didn’t share any specific resolutions at the beginning of the month, I thought it might be healthy and fun to set a few goals for Bikram. Let me just say that I realize…
Body Image: Revisited
I’ve talked about body image somewhat recently, but after this past weekend, I realize I have a long way to go when it comes to truly accepting and loving my own body. Apart from maybe Jennifer Lawrence (who, according to this opinion, may be inadvertently “body-shaming” through her unapologetic attitude regarding food, Hollywood, and her own…
The Skinny: Why I Hate Clothing Sizes and the “Nothing” Ideal They Promote
Last month I read a brilliant post by Charlotte about women’s clothing—specifically the size zero—and the negativity resulting from trying to fit a certain size. I’ve long felt the same way she does, so I thought I’d share my two cents on the subject. I’ve always been a petite person (except maybe in kindergarten, where…
