Ever since I began blogging and caring more about my own health, I’ve longed for my employer to implement a wellness program like WellNow or something similar (I’ve written about health in the work place previously here). Although we still don’t have a program quite like that, I have noticed a few health-related changes around…

An Update On My Bikram Practice
Hello there! Now that I finally posted the Miele spaghetti and meatballs recipe for you all, I realize my fitness conversation has been lacking, too. This is possibly due to my increased consumption of beer and television, but more likely due to my general apathy toward exercise, except for my beloved yoga. (Oh, and my…
Progress at Bikram
Today I realized how little fitness talk I’ve shared around these parts. Yes, foodiEcology is primarily a food blog (it’s in the name—hello?), but blogging is also a way to hold myself accountable to a fitness routine. I’ve met a couple of my exercise-related goals on my 30 Before 30 list (trying a yoga class…
Fitness Friday: Yoga + Haiku?
‘Twas a really long and slow day yesterday, so to pass the time, I (naturally) wrote a series of haiku expressing my undying love of Bikram yoga. 🙂 It’s hot like Hades! Just what was I thinking of, trying out Bikram? Amazing—not dead! Do girls really sweat this much? Must drink water now! Day two—not…
Fabulous Fitness Survey
I saw this fun fitness questionnaire on Julie’s blog a few days ago, and since I haven’t been super creative in the kitchen lately, I thought I’d share my own answers. Who doesn’t love a good survey?… 1. What did you eat for breakfast? A smoothie (peach, banana, avocado, and spinach) and 1 piece of…
Might as well face it, you’re addicted…to yoga
Tomorrow, I will have completed my 30-day “introduction” to Bikram yoga. Now, more than ever, I’m 100% positive I want to stick with it. There’s just something magical about the hot room. Some people have church…or music…or art…and I now have yoga. [source] Though I’m nowhere near where I want to be, I can already…
Surviving the Torture Chamber
A little scared of this post’s title? You should be. As of Monday night, I’ve survived 2 Bikram yoga classes! Oh. My. God. I knew it was going to be intense, but I had no idea I would leave feeling as if I’d been mugged, beaten, run-over, and dragged down the street…and ready to do…
Tunnel Vision 5K {MIMM #8}
This past Saturday I (mostly) ran my second 5K—Tunnel Vision—hosted by the Lions Club. It was freezing (for coastal Alabama…in May), but it couldn’t have been a more gorgeous day! We began near the downtown library and ran down Government Street through the tunnel and onto the causeway. Thankfully, I didn’t feel too claustrophobic in…
Awesome Workout + WIAW #25
After a less-than-fantastic day at work (in a nutshell: unexpected lay-offs that affected one of my officemates and a few people I’ve gotten to know around the facility), I did have an awesome workout at gymnastics. I guess a lot of people were out for spring break, so the gym was pretty empty. I did some…
Color Me Rad
This past weekend was absolutely beautiful—and it was our very first 5K! Bright and early Saturday morning, Mark and I downed spinach/fruit smoothies and drove to the fairgrounds for Color Me Rad. There were tons of people there! We ran the 9:20 wave, which began right on time. Though we didn’t run the entire way, we…
