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…
For Two Fitness
You all may not have noticed, but if you have a really keen eye, you might have spotted a brand new badge on my side bar. That’s right—I was recently selected to be a For Two Fitness Ambassador! I’m extremely excited to help promote and represent this fantastic brand. If you’re unfamiliar, For Two Fitness…
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,…
Valentine's Day Gifts for the Fit Foodie
Last Valentine’s Day I did a round up of what I considered to be some pretty awesome fitness finds, and I thought it would be fun to do it again this year. This list, however, includes kitchen/foodie gadgets as well—because, as a healthy living blogger, I enjoy both eating and exercising! If you don’t want…
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…
You Are What You Eat {WIAW}
If you don’t believe that our daily food choices directly impact how we feel—especially during physical activity—then I have some news for you. You’re wrong! After a weekend of indulgences (beer, wine, froyo, ice cream, a frappucino, hotdogs, a hamburger, gooey macaroni and cheese, and a couple of salads for good measure) and 3.5-hour car…
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…
