Because everybody needs a “mental health day” (and because we both woke up not feeling well) Mark and I stayed home from work today. We crawled back into bed after our showers, and it was wonderful sleeping late, cuddling with the dog, and staying in our pajamas most of the day. After I started feeling…

{MIMM} + SlimKicker Giveaway!
When a SlimKicker representative recently invited me to explore their website/app and host a giveaway for my readers, I was more than happy to oblige! What exactly is SlimKicker? In short, it’s a free website and app designed to turn dieting and exercising into a fun level-up game! Upon registering, users can track their calorie-intake…
Health in the Workplace
As health insurance premiums have sky-rocketed over the last decade, employers have begun to implement some creative changes in the office. This NYT article has shone the light on somewhat controversial practices and programs. I believe employer sanctioned and sponsored wellness initiatives are a wonderful idea on the surface. It’s no surprise that over-stressed, under-nourished,…
MIMM #4: Officially a Runner
Did everybody’s weekend fly by the way mine did? Despite feeling cheated of my days off, Monday began well with this energizing breakfast smoothie. Believe it or not, it actually kept me full until lunch (well, I did have a tiny handful of trail mix). Ingredients 2 handfuls spinach ½ cup Greek yogurt ½ banana…
Exercise Benefits + WIAW #19
I’m probably a horrible person for wishing my life way, but I’m so happy it’s finally Wednesday, the ever-so-wonderful hump day. More importantly, I’m so happy that I’m able to walk like a normal (by appearance, anyway) person today! After having a frustrating day at work yesterday, I let out some steam during my evening…
10 Valentine’s Day Gifts for the Fitness Lover
Maybe it’s because I didn’t date a lot in high school or college (my longest dating “relationship” prior to meeting Mark was just 3 months!), but I’ve never been a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. My parents would always give me cards and candy, and while I enjoyed the grammar school tradition of passing out…
Mile Accomplished + WIAW #15
I always love Wednesdays, but I’m especially fond of today. In exactly one week, I will be at Harry Potter World sipping butter beer and learning how to use a magic wand! 🙂 Another reason I’m particularly happy today is my achievement of a small fitness goal. Last Thursday, Sunday, and yesterday, I ran a…
WIAW #14 + Jello Arms
Today I’d hoped to share how I finally ran a mile without stopping. I’m blaming the awful humidity and the half-awake stupor I was in, but Saturday’s run was worse than the previous two! No mile—yet. Also, my planned run for yesterday didn’t happen because it was extremely windy and raining. I did, however, do…
Almost a Mile + WIAW #13
Since I’m likely signing up for Color Me Rad in April, yesterday I decided it was time to bite the bullet and start training. I’m not a runner. In fact, I’ve always loathed running. Even when I excelled in every other category of the physical fitness testing in grammar school (I rocked the flex arm…
WIAW #12 + New Workout Clothes
I’m so glad to be half-way through the week and to leave behind the dreary, rainy, foggy weather of the last few days. It hasn’t been especially cold, but with the monochromatic grayness, it sure has looked like winter. Last week the high temperature was around 76°, yet tomorrow, there’s a possibility of morning snow showers…
