It’s no secret I’ve been in a bit of a workout rut lately. And by “rut,” I mean I haven’t been working out at all. Truthfully, I’m a bit embarrassed. I made such an effort to stay active during pregnancy, but out of both necessity (Baby M hardly ever naps!) and my own laziness, I…

Body After Baby
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…
Transformation Tuesday
Chances are, if you have Facebook or Instagram, you’ve seen the hashtag #transformationtuesday and the oodles of weight loss/weight gain photos accompanying it. Bodies transformed from loose to ripped, pre- and post-pregnancy comparisons, or even an underweight frame with a healthy smile and few added pounds are common themes. I think it’s great to celebrate…
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…

I’m extremely excited to help promote and represent this fantastic brand. If you’re unfamiliar, For Two Fitness…
#LetLoose2014 for National Stress Awareness Month
I’ve mentioned before that April is one of my favorite months of the year, but did you know that it’s also National Stress Awareness Month? We all lead busy, often-stressful lives, which is why I’m taking part in Vegas.com’s #LetLoose2014 event. I’ve been to Las Vegas twice (for my honeymoon in 2008 and on vacation…
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,…
